Already by the 30th minute I was praying to God that this piece of crap would end soon. But no, it went on for 2 and a half more hours of despicable acting and pointless propaganda.

What a daunting task, making a film - an epic, no less - where you're not allowed to show your protagonist. They almost get away with it but, for obvious reasons, we never get to know Mohammed well enough to be invested in the story on the grounds of this movie alone.

In Turkey it is censored. I like un censored version of this film.

A film about Mohamed and the beginning of Islam it's quite interesting, though somewhat flawed. It's a technically solid film with some nice desert shots and battle scenes, but it never really amazes and by putting so much emphasis on these scenes it invites unfavorable comparisons to films like Lawrence of Arabia. Still, it's a surprisingly unpreachy story about the founding of a major religion and it's quite interesting in that regard.

The first half-hour works, being that it's all about what it means to stand up and say, "I believe in this," even though everyone thinks you're crazy. Then it turns into _Wannabe Lawrence of Arabia_ with endless sword and horse battles in the desert. Bleah

Predictably reverential and exceedingly tedious religious epic, rather like a lesser de Mille item and fatally handicapped by the decision never to show Mohammed at all.

''Mohammed the Ghost Prophet'' ? Jeez, that was funny. At least we have Monthy Pythons... Well, this isn't art, this is an example of pure propaganda. Annoying as hell...
