Editorial Review:
Samson is a simple shepherd with the strength of a titan and the destiny to fight the Philistines and General Tariq. Delilah is a Philistine beauty, torn between her love for the shepherd and loyalty to her people. As told in the Old Testament, Samson's betrayal by Delilah left him in slavery. But Samson's epic revenge vanquished his Philistine foes and made him one of the greatest heroes of the Bible. Samson and Delilah is the powerful tale of a deception that brought down an empire... and sealed their names in eternity.
Samson and Delilah (The Bible Collection) Reviews:
Bad movie..sent me 1 copy too many. 
2009-11-07 - The movie sucked..long boring..tv movie and I got (and paid for )1 copy too many.
Product came within two weeks 
2009-10-13 - I ordered several video so haven't view this one yet but the product came within a timely fashion.
Terrible
2009-07-27 - Of all the movies I have seen from the Bible collection, this is by far the worst in my opinion. Horrible, horrible acting, pretty bad casting (I will blame the director more than the actors), bad battle scenes, not completely accurate, and poor production. I almost stopped watching it, but I was hoping it would get better, but unfortunately, it didn't. Luckily, I watched Abraham right afterwards, and I was thoroughly impressed with that. Like night and day.
Not good ministry
2009-05-06 - I bought this movie as an alternate for the things we usually watch, and all I can say is, I am very embarassed that I am not able to watch it with my children, or let them watch it by themselves. Way too much sex, and explicit at that. If you have to buy Samson and Delilah, buy the one with Victor Mature and Heddy Lamarr. Good, clean, educational. And the whole family can watch. The action in this one was okay, but for a Biblical account, this is way too steamy for kids.
It's OK
2009-01-22 - This movie is the story of Samson and Delilah. Samson was born to a barren couple of Israel and destined to help free his people from the hand of the Philistines who had overrun their country. But Samson had a weakness and this was women. He also had another, and this was his temper. The Philistines figured this out and used his weaknesses against him. First with his first wife and then again with Delilah.
The movie, for me, moved a bit slow. I felt they spent time on aspects that they didn't need to and this bogged the movie down. The acting was ok here. I felt the direction was lacking also. I expected this movie, even for a made for TV movie, to have a lot more life and spark and it just didn't. I was a bit disappointed.
I will say, and this came as a surprise, this movie had a young Jonathan Rhys Meyers as a young Samson and that was interesting to see.
