Watch One Night with the King For Free

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

some commentators reviews led me to expect a real mess – hardly so. I share many viewers of what has transpired for 'faith based' entertainment – shoddy acting and writing. Usually very heavy handed with an altar call – not here. The script could have used a little tightening and it was a shame that O'Toole was barely in the movie but the rest of the cast gave a good performance led by John Rhys-Davies – in some scenes he reminded me of Sean Connery. There is some toying with the scripture but the essence of the film is pretty faithful to scripture.Worth a view and a good tool for presenting scripture.

I loved this movie! When I first started watching it I thought it was going to be pretty uneventful and a tad on the corny side, but I ended up really enjoying it. In fact, I went out and bought the DVD the next day! Both the cinematography and the costumes were truly wonderful! Luke Goss was mesmerizing as the great King Xerxes and Tiffany Dupont was perfect for the role of Esther. I really appreciated how closely the film stayed true to the Bible's account of Esther. She was definitely a woman with great inner strength and a courage unlike that of any other. As a result, she was able to save her people, and gain the love and respect of a King. The music was also phenomenal- especially "Kingdom of Love" by Shani. My favorite part of the movie was when that song is being played while Hadassah walks up to meet the King and becomes the new Queen of Persia. What woman wouldn't want to be led by her husband on a garden of rose petals! And the scene where she enters in unannounced before the King was beautifully done as well. The chemistry between Goss and Dupont truly made the movie a success! Their love story was so beautifully portrayed in this film, and I'm glad that it was finally told in the way that most people imagined it was and should have been. A must-see!

I will make this short and simple.This movie being Christian was bound to be bad,but this was exceedingly bad on every level.The acting was just cheesy,the editing leaves you thinking why was that done in that way,why was that slow-mo there and that part of the scene should have been deleted,and what was this film crew thinking,the script writer had no idea how to develop characters and plots,Casting:terrible,clothes:terrible. There is not much to say about this movie other than it's just bad in every way.(except for scenery)I would only recommend this movie to you if you want to know how to make a bad movie.An utterly bad movie movie and a waste of time.I am disgusted that this movie got past a 5.5.

Our story begins with an explanation into the villain's history and hatred of the Jews, setting the scene for a tale of intrigue, adventure, and romance. Hadassah is a young Jewish girl raised by her guardian Mordecai in ancient Persia. Through fate and circumstance, she wins the love of a king with her wit and beauty, but must fight past many obstacles and enemies to survive wicked plots and save her people from certain destruction. Having seen One night with the king for the first time, it is with mixed feelings that I write this review. Though it could be said that the climax of the film is drawn out just a little too long, Esther's fear seems real and well-founded. Her whirlwind romance with the king seemed to unfold somewhat swiftly, as he falls in love with her only after two meetings, with emotions that are a little overdone for such a romantic scene. The fairytale is better than the history and a thoroughly enjoyable picture, indulging in lavish costumes and breath-taking scenery. Not an overly religious movie, but with the appropriately placed mentions concerning faith and theology. Esther is presented as intelligent, innocent and winsome, maturing quickly with her ascent as queen to a woman of deep courage and compassion. The character of Xerxes is compelling and captivating to watch, being a proud man torn by the tradition of his crown and the feelings of his heart, a choice that cost him his first queen. Kept alive with quick-witted humor and graced with notable cameos and performances by Peter O'Toole and John Rhys-Davies, One night with the king is not about faith alone, but the courage to do what is right, even acting against all tradition and customs.
