Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Mehdi Taba As hilarious as the book!I wonder why religious people doesn't believe in Harry Potter stories or J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings stories!!! these stories are way much stronger, logical and ethical than this ancient hilarious story.We don't need religion for have a better life, just take a look in to our current world, more religion=more corruption, more poverty, more stupidity, more disaster, more lie, more uneducated people... just negativity!And about professional things, Acting was just kinda OK for that era, cinematography was great (picture quality), sound works was very good, score was very good, directing was kinda good with lots of errors...Nearly 3 hours... what a waste of time, but I just laughed some esp. in the moments when GOD was explaining how he created this world in 7 days and BLAH BLAH BLAH, penguins in the Ark! oh I don't wanna waste your time there is millions of non-senses in all the religious books.I believe in Science and myself and the ethics, actually I'm Atheist (Vegan & Straight Edge) and I can admit religious people aren't ethical at all just hypocrisy and non-sense...Live peacefully!

gridoon2018 "The Bible" was pretty much the swan song of the big Hollywood religious epic (with a few exceptions over the years), and you can sort of see why. The story is a complete fairy tale, of course, but the director, John Huston, brings off some spectacular effects, and they, along with his tongue-in-cheek approach in the Noah's Ark segment in which he also stars, help dilute the proselytizing. The film has some extraordinary moments (like King Nimrod shooting an arrow into heaven from the top of the Tower of Babel, or Peter O'Toole's (dis)appearance(s)), but it's too episodic and frequently tedious. Also, Huston should have chosen someone with a more imposing voice than his own to provide the voice of God - George C. Scott maybe? **1/2 out of 4.

beresfordjd I have been watching this for over an hour and it is boring me to tears. The only worthy thing about it so far is the handling of the animals and the ark - given there was no CGI in those days Huston makes a great job of it. All this film manages to do is convince me (not that I was not already convinced) that the bible stories are just that - vividly imaginative stories which explain the inexplicable. That all this guff is the basis of humans' faith in gods is just astonishing. Huston makes a very good Noah - he looks like he may have looked in my opinion. Other casting is not so great Richard Harris is wasted and acts as though he were in an early silent movie - Adam and Eve are coyly displayed in their nakedness (a product of the times) but make little or no real impact. Cain leaves Adam and Eve after killing Abel and he goes to the land of Nod where he marries - who, exactly as there are only supposed to be Adam, Eve, Cain and the dead Abel on the earth?

ma-cortes Spectacular as well as extravagant production of the first part of the book of Genesis and dealing with five of the early stories in the Old Testament .The title is a bit of a misnomer as the film only covers the first 22 chapters of the first book of Genesis . It covers various Biblical episodes and and open with the Creation of the World and arrive at the Garden of Eden with Adam (Michael Parks) and Eve, Cain and Abel (Richard Harris and Franco Nero play brothers-turned-enemies) Noah (John Huston , though Charles Chaplin and Alec Guinness was also offered the role ) and the Flood and the story of Nimrod (Stephen Boyd) , King of Babel and the emergence of man's vanity . Furthermore , Lot (Gabriele Ferzetti) , Lot's Wife (Eleonora Rossi Drago), Sodomah and Gomorra destruction , and three such Heavenly Messengers (Peter O'Toole) appeared in the course of events along with Abraham (George C Scott) , Sarah (Ava Gardner) , his slave Hagar and sons Isaac and Ismael.This overblown all-star cast Biblical treatment contains emotion , religious feeling , human touch and grandeur events . The best episode results to be Noah tale in which John Huston gives an intelligent as well as sympathetic acting ; when God talks to Noah, that's actually the voice of John Huston speaking to the actor John Huston . Filming of The Tower of Babel sequence was disrupted when Egyptian extras staged a rock-throwing riot . One of the first mainstream American films to feature male and female nudity -albeit artfully filmed in a light-and-shadow style- in the Garden of Eden sequences . Reportedly , neither Michael Parks nor Ulla Bergryd used body doubles for these scenes . Lavishly produced by Dino De Laurentiis , he originally announced that this would be the first in a series of feature films based on the books of the bible ; however it didn't take place . Rousing and extraordinary musical score by Toshirô Mayuzumi and uncredited Ennio Morricone ; though Huston wanted Igor Stravinsky to score the film . As with many epics of the 1950s and 1960s Paul Francis Webster was called in to supply promotional lyrics to the main theme. The song was entitled "Song of the Bible" and Webster devised the following lyrics to fit Mayuzumi's opening theme music . Colorful as well as evocative cinematography by Giuseppe Rotunno , Fellini's ordinary ; this was the first film shot in the Dimension 150 process. This process was credited as simply "D-150" .This luxuriously mounted production was well directed by John Huston who gives the feel of a Cecil B De Mille spectacle . However , French director Robert Bresson was firstly hired in 1964 and wen he shot the deluge, he requested the use of all the animals in Rome city zoo , but the only thing Bresson filmed was the tracks of the animals upon a sandy beach , then Bresson was fired, John Huston took over the project, delaying production a further six month. Rating : 6,5/10 . Well worth watching . Better than average . The movie will appeal to religious and epic films buffs .-
