This Movie Is The Worst Movie I've Ever Watched In My Entire Life 😭 if not that it's a biblical movie I would have condenmed the life of the movie Cux it felt more like a drama than a movie poor acting poor production they didn't even make us experience the movie this movie requires no Star at all and it has a 4.2 star rating when it's not even Worthy of a 1 star rating 🤦 I've never been more disappointed at a movie than this particular one Cux it's disappointment surpasses every other disappointed movie I've ever watched I could still manage the other one's but this is just total Garbage 🤮 I Hate The Movie 🙄

I was hoping to compare other productions of the Book of Esther, and this was completely the worst rendition of the three. This effort cannot possibly be compared to the biblical account. In other productions like the Book of Daniel, the team did a fine job to cast and portray the characters for the show, but I cannot say the same this time round. At first I brushed of the warning that some of the story had been changed for dramatic effect, for this happens all the time, but I did not realise just how far off-base they meant. Every actor over-played their role, and seriously misrepresents the account in the Bible. It really does seem that no historical research had been done. In fact, I cannot believe that David White even approved the script and story-line. Had I been an actor or worker on the set, I would have seriously protested and denied any roles offered. No offense to the actors, but this was a very poor attempt at representing a pivotal time in the Jews history and how God intervened in very unique ways. This movie failed to have the various story lines run in perfect harmony to its final vindication of an evil plot to exterminate a people. To me it was disappointing. I was expecting a lot better from what I know Pureflix is capable of.

Some of the actors are good...some are terrible...but overall it is just like watching a student film by a Game of Thrones fan filmed with people who are taking an acting class at their local community college. The lighting isn't bad. I spent a lot of time watching it trying to decipher whether or not it was just the budget that was making it bad and I really think that is nothing to do with it (although some of the costumes were like something ordered off of Amazon.) However it was really just the writing and the acting that ruined it. For example the lady that played Esther...are you kidding me? Just awful. And the guy that played the eunuch proved the makers of this movie watch a lot of Game of Thrones. Obviously some of these people got their parts because they knew the people making the film.

The movie has a great dramatic story line. However, the storyline doesnt go in accordance to the Bible in the book of Esther. I advise you not to watch it

Without a shadow of doubt, this is the worst movie of the Book of Esther that my wife and I have ever encountered, let alone the worst adaptation of any Biblical book. The screenplay was atrocious, and the plot was sketchy given the many liberties taken the scriptwriter in a futile attempt to bring something fresh and novel to the age-old Biblical narrative. The direction, cinematography and editing left much to be desired. The lead actress was much too contemporary American in speech and mannerisms - not befitting of Esther, the Jewish queen of Persia. Some of the others in the cast were not convincing either. Our advice to film-buffs is to avoid this movie altogether. In other words, give this PureFlix film the flick.

Despite the obvious low budget, the writers really shouldn't have attempted to portray Esther and her mother figure as two man ruling feminists, even if they meant to be funny, it is absurd to think that they'd behave this way as Jews during the exile. Even the whole "boy-crazy" scene at the beginning defies any attempt to accurately portray the conditions or the story. We literally first meet the adult "Esther" making goo-goo eyes at a married monarch in a town square!?!?! Are they mixing Esther up with Delilah or Gomer? The Vashti tantrum and complete contempt for the guard's head leads viewers to want to see her banished and shamed for her inhumanity, but the writers miss this opportunity and exchange a dramatic opportunity for a few more gossipy whisper scenes among the other gossipy whisper scenes. Then go on to show Esther discuss how she would be just like Vashti. The idea that Vashti could be completely unaware of her own culture is entirely implausible, the historic context was completely missed in this rendition. She must have only arrived moments before in a time machine from the 21st century! It's a frustrating plot line to say the least. The more likely (and historic) scenario is that her husband was drunk and while it was the custom of the time for Queens to remain out of public view, he ordered her to be paraded and she would have been more likely embarrassed and less likely a raving post-sexual-revolution-feminist with no care for the life of royal staff. The role should have been played much differently. Instead all of the crowd is whispering how they expect to see Vashti. The facts of history are completely ignored. By that point you will have seen enough of the sappy writing to find something better. Even with the low budget and exact same actors, if they could have demonstrated something resembling humility from any of the main characters they may endear them to the audience. Instead, they seem more like the gabby and arrogant personas found on evening television in the 21st century. You know, the sort who wouldn't keep their heads long in ancient Persia.
