 Nicely done depiction of the story of Joseph August 22, 2010
Kathi R (Orlando, FL United States)
This telling of the story of Joseph in the TNT Bible Collection is very good. Although certain liberties were taken with the account as fleshed out in the Bible, these did not impact the overall telling of the story in keeping with what the Bible reveals. The use of Joseph telling of his early history with his brothers and how he came to be a slave in Egypt was done as a flashback, which actually enhanced the dramatic telling of the story. Very nicely done and mostly true to the Bible account.

One terrific movie. I had it years ago in a VHS and saw it multiple times to the point that the VHS was damaged. Me and my son just love this movie. Now I have it in DVD.
 Sexually Immoral - Abundantly Innacurate. July 9, 2010

Utterly grievous... My wife and I didn't make it past the stomach sickening, unbiblical, immoral scene where she's grabbing Joseph's jewels in the bath. We were both very disturbed. I thought I was watching a family film, not a porno-promo. Twenty minutes later and I still feel sickened. Judging by the reviews I read by others, the film continues to inaccurately portray many other critically important facts about the life of Joseph. It's not worth watching the truth of God's Holy Word twisted and profaned for the sake of enjoying ourselves with unholy entertainment. Please do not grieve the Holy Spirit by subjecting yourself to this.
"Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!" - Jesus (Matthew 6:22, 23)
"... the light you think you have..." Selah.
One of the Best June 25, 2010
Apollos2 (Colorado USA)
This is one of the very best renditions of the story of Joseph. This is a high quality "Hollywood" production. Big names, big set. The thing that impressed me the most about this movie (as well as it's companions, Abraham, and Jacob) was the accuracy. You can almost turn page by page through your Bible and follow along. Highly recommended.
 Sorry, but don't buy off on the love fest of acolades here. June 14, 2010
Critic (who cares)
This film is, without a doubt, a Christian perspective on the Joseph story. Or as one of your reviewers commented, there are messianic threads cleverly interwoven throughout. For example, nowhere in the old testament does Jacob EVER say that he gives his inheritance to Joseph. This is an obvious suggestion that Jesus, descended from the tribe of Joseph (and whose nominal "father" is Joseph)is to inherit Gods blessings, with Christians inheriting the covenant of the Israelites. And the scene of Joseph imprisoned in the Pharaoh's prison saying to God "why have you forsaken me" is NOWHERE mentioned in the old testament; it is strictly put in to provide a Christian slant. Toward the end of the movie, when Joseph goes to see his father, there is a scene in which a large number of crosses appear (briefly). And incidentally, when Joseph and his father meet, the former is shown bowing down to the latter. However, as is clearly stated in the old testament, when Joseph has his dream in which the sun, moon and the stars bow before him, for this dream to be fulfilled (as are all the others in the Joseph story), Jacob (the sun) must bow down to Joseph, not the reverse. I don't have a problem with Christian Messianic films, and I in fact saw this on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, but before everyone falls all over themselves saying what a saintly film this is, please, recognise that it has been made with a specific point of view in mind, namely Christianity, and that there are other perspectives on the Joseph story that are quite different. I think that some honesty on this subject would raise this film above the level of Christian propaganda.
