Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Despite the 'impressive' desert locations and an array of tanks (to represent the ills of modern militarism), it's still staged like a student revue.

Jewison, a director of large talent, has taken a piece of commercial shlock and turned it into a Biblical movie with dignity.

The music quickly becomes monotonous, and the operatic dialogue is silly right from the start.
