Editorial Review:
Description:
The greatest stories of the Old Testament are brought to the screen with astounding scope and power in this international film which depicts the first 22 chapters of Genesis. This is the spectacular story of man's creation, his fall, his survival and his indomitable faith in the future. From the film's opening amidst cosmic chaos, to its lingering message of hope and salvation, 'The Bible' stands as a monumental motion picture achievement.

John Huston adapted the first 22 chapters of the Book of Genesis in this mostly silly film that takes us from Creation through Noah's Ark through Abraham's near-sacrifice of son Isaac. This is one of Huston's more personally distant projects, à la Annie or Victory; and for the most part you'd barely know there was even a director involved. On the other hand, Huston does provide some of the only liveliness on screen, playing Noah. --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very low quality
The video on the DVD is very poor quality, it's very dark and low contrast and flickers a lot, there is a constant non-artistic vignette.
The music is over powering but not good and makes it hard to hear what you want to. It sounds like they just decided to play a generic track regardless of what was going on on screen the music doesn't match the film in any way.
Rating:  - A statement from the BIBLE
This was a story created from OUR LORD to instill in our souls the true meaning of HIS thoughts for LIFE and FAMILY.
Rating: - Timeless Classic
This is a classic, I've seen it many times just needed to have it in my collection. A must for "true believers", others should just enjoy, John Houston is great as Noah, and the rest is just plain excellent.
Rating: - Great Movie and Moving
This was a fine movie with great emotional appeal. People are so used to all the bang and shabazz of high-tech movies today that it comes as a shock when real old-fashioned drama comes into play. As for the light-heartedness of the people in the ark, from a dramatist point of view, smart move. The flood was a horrendous ordeal so some lightheartedness about it helps keep the faith of the folks inside.
I was impressed by the movie. If John Huston was an atheist, I wouldn't have ... Read More
Rating: - Part Brilliant, Part Disappointing
Long cast aside by "critics" as a cinematic BOMB, this movie does have its moments. Standout scenes are the death of Abel by Cain, Adam and Eve being driven from the Garden of Eden, Abraham's visit from the Angel of God and the gathering of men at Sodom, blinded by the two Angels. The Sodom scene, with all its wickedness, would be considered "politically incorrect" by Hollywood today, but is a directorial masterpiece. The Noah's Ark gathering of the animals is a commendable assemblage of creatures, ... Read More
