Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
jamayetahmed I love Majid Majidi's work. This movie is also a good one. The camera work, the use of color everything was really good. But the story should be more organised. As the main focus was the first 40 years of the prophet life so there should be more important story in the movie. Actually the original work of the prophet not seen in the movie. It's mainly focus with supernatural things with the prophet. But the struggle and the difficulty faced in the life of the prophet is not mentioned clearly. Hope the next two sequel will be better than this.
rhadianoctober They tried their best to show the history with no exaggerating. also It was a good film for those who wanna know a bit about Islam as for every religion , if you wanna know the religion try to know the prophet not those who follow him.. I hope you enjoy it since I LOVED it Mohammad had plenty of miraqules before he'd became the messenger and I had no idea about them!
Mohammad Mahdi Khatami Before I watched this film, I thought one should be really expert in historical facts to build a historical movie which I realized was wrong. It's a film without even a plan! which contains just miracles every Iranian has heard of. Maybe Majidi was exited about the technology of special effects and wanted to show every miracle he has heard. And the rest of the film is about everyone is attracted to Muhammad without a reasonable reason while he is just a baby or little boy. I was wonder if Majidi has read even a book about Muhammad. But in the positive sight I thought the music and special effects of the film was really good.
aliam-94122 Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) is a good hearted prophet. This trait is shown only at this movie, In the movie (the message 1979) we see Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) only in wars but in this movie we can see the true facts about Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). Majidi is one of the best director's in the world and this movie is his best one. And I can really say that we can compare this movie with biggest movies in Hollywood, it has a great soundtrack and Cinematography and the most important is that the great story of this movie based on real events there is nothing that director add from himself, all events are pure history even some sentences.
