Samson

This film was OK. It reminded me of an episode of Xena or Hercules from back in the day. It could ha e been so much better.

When i saw Ben-Hur (2016) I thought to myself, WTF don't pick up a movie that was already made in the past like a super production in a Epic scale in a time that producers didn't have nothing in terms of technology compared to today and make something so poor.
With Samson they made it again and even worse Lack of content poor script lack of scale poor attention to detail this kind of movies aren't meant to be "rushed" they are meant to be EPIC WITH BIG SCALE don't just grab a known story to sell and stop "abusing" special effects where they are not needed.
You could make this movie but just don't call it Samson.

From Pure Films comes Samson, a rather lackluster biblical epic. The story follows Samson, a man of destiny called to lead the Hebrews from slavery, but when his wife is killed by a ruthless Philistine prince Samson becomes consumed by vengeance. The cast is pretty weak and gives fairly band and unimpressive performances. And the film’s low-budget is painfully obvious in the cheap costuming, makeup, and sets. Samson might pass for a made-for-TV movie, but it’s just not up to the standards of a theatrical film.

Perfunctory telling of the Bible story, with wooden acting and a methodical script. Ironically then, this film could have been stronger!

Barely a professional production. Horrid script and terrible "action" scenes. Skip it and watch an Italian Lou Ferrigno movie from the 80s instead.

I'm not even going to be bother with a long review, this "big-budget" religious piece of confusing garbage doesn't deserve it. Unfortunately, it's not terrible enough to be funny, i-it gets close in a couple places, but falls into the just-trash mountain. Samson is the latest disaster by Pure Flix, after such smash hits like God's Not Dead 2. They decided to go big-budget for this one, which I guess means paying $50 for a shitty SD drone-camera that looks horrible every time it shows up, the left-over CG from Gods of Egypt, and actors plucked out of the middle of a porno. There were times I was expecting a sex scene to happen, just because the production design and script felt like something out of that. Samson's fake beard he gets half-way in is some of the worst make-up appliance I've ever seen, there's a reason there's a category for this at the Oscars. Billy Zane looks like he's doing this for the million dollar check I'm sure Pure Flix promised him, he's so fat and looks so out of place here. And they managed to drag Sokka from the live-action The Last Airbender on-set too. I walked out around the time he grabbed Billy Zane's crown from atop his head, I couldn't stop thinking about the "BALD!" scene from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. There's this quick little part before the third act beings, Samson and his brother step out of a cave, and good lord, the green-screen they had to use for these lines of dialogue is so horrible, I started laughing out loud in the middle of this empty theater. I feel awful for the class of Church kids that will probably be forced to endure this.

The fight choreography is terrible, the script is abysmal, the characters are flat with no depth, the special effects are eye-piercing, and the stock music deserves a round of applause. You guys know the Youtuber, Sargon of Akkad? They play his theme song in the movie, which I assume now is a stock piece of music. I really hope the budget for this wasn't any higher than $20,000. Monsters was made for less than $500,000 and Hardcore Henry was made for less than 2 million. Pure Flix, please just cancel God's Not Dead 3 now, have mercy on our souls.
