Rating:  - Lacking in Biblical accuracy
I have seen some of the other movies from the Bible collection like Joseph and Esther and they seemed to try to stay fairly close to the biblical account. This movie on the other hand was constantly irritating for anyone that is familiar with the real story of Jacob. Several parts were way off and even ridiculous. For one, as soon as Jacob meets Rachel he immediately kisses her passionately on the lips and she takes off running away and Jacob chases after her and comes to Laban's house. In the Bible ...

Rating: - The Least is Still Pretty Good
I consider this to be the least of the BIBLE COLLECTION done by Turner some years ago but even the least is pretty good.
This tells the story of Jacob, also known as Israel, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham. It tells the story of the patriarch of the Israelite people.
Jacob is a twin. His life begins with a contest with his brother Esau when both struggle to get out of the womb first. The first one out claims the lion's share of the inheritance and power. Esau makes it first. ... Read More
Rating:  - Star studded, accurate to Bible, but underwhelming in delivery
The story of Jacob from the Bible is fairly faithfully retold in no-nonsense terms in this movie directed by Sir Peter Hall.
Matthew Modine plays Jacob, Sean Bean is his brother Esau whose inheritance and blessing he steals. He leaves to avoid his brother's wrath and to seek a wife from Laban. He ends up with more than he bargained for - two wifes and 14 years later, he returns home to face his brother.
Hall was better known for his theatre work - this makes for strong adherence to the ... Read More
Rating:  - Very Well Done!
This entire series of Bible stories by this Italian production group is simply splendid. These are relatively low cost films but they are very skillfully produced to maximize the quality of the story being told. Of course we Christians and Jews will sit around and pontificate about every little error or short cut the movie script incurs, never the less, it is ultimately left to the actors and directors and their considerable skill to pull off what I consider to be, for the most part, some of the most successfully ...

Rating: - There should be (alot) more of this on television
This is one of a series of made for TV movies that were produced in the 1990s to recount various Biblical Old Testament tales. Don't let the `made for TV' aspect turn you off this, this movie (and series) is well done. This movie tells the Genesis story of the brothers Jacob and Esau. Esau is the older brother, but Jacob tricks him out of his dying father's blessing. At the encouragement of his mother, Jacob flees to his uncle's family and begins life anew there, starting from nothing. His hard work and faith in ... Read More
