Rating:  - Good but lacks the oomph & detail to make it great
David is hands-down my favorite Biblical character (aside from JC himself, of Course). I never tire of reading and studying the events of his life -- the trials & perseverances, the agonies & ecstasies, the successes and failures (man, that sounds hokey, huh?).
Well, 1985's "King David," starring Richard Gere in the titular role, essentially covers IT ALL. That's right, you'll see all the following events covered in the picture:

Rating:  - "In Our Country Madmen Are Held To Be Sacred" ~ Madman, Poet And King
Synopsis: *See Hebrew Scriptures.
Critique: The '85 Biblical drama `King David' was a film with a lot of potential that unfortunately goes for the most part unrealized. Much like a tapestry, a film is comprised of many parts (cast, crew, production values, script, soundtrack, etc.) that must be meticulously woven into one flowing, indivisible garment if the director's vision is to be realized and the film successful with its target audience. So, where did this film fall short of my expectations? ... Read More
Rating:  - If I could give it negative stars I would
David was a man after God's own heart. He loved the Lord, fought valiantly to win back Israel's land, and wrote hundreds of Psalms. David's unshakable faith, trust, and love for God are what come to mind for anyone who has read the Bible and knows of King David. Yet David committed adultery then murder to cover it up. And God forgave Him and blessed David mightily. David's life teaches many lessons: trusting in the mercy of God being at the center of it.
This movie misses that point entirely. ... Read More
Rating: - Follows the Tanach, But Topically
This movie is nice, but not much more than that. As a religious Jews, I can say that while the story line is pretty on, you won't get a sense of the majesty, nobility, and intense spirituality that were hallmarks of the real King David, author of the Psalms.
Plus, if you care about the images flashing before your eyes, you will be accosted by two scenes of totally gratuitous nudity which I would say are not appropriate for children, and not likely pleasing to religious adults.
