Trust me, this is worth the priceReview by Parochus, 2010-07-20
As a Roman trained theologian (yes, I'm Catholic), an historian and someone who has visited Peter's tomb many many times, I bought this movie on a "whim." I'm always looking to expand my horizons, and I thought Omar Sharif could do so with his acting. I was really unprepared for the length, depth and breadth of this RAI production. Sharif plays Peter as we know him in Scripture: impetuous, doubting, convicted, scared and ultimately faithful. And he does it with extraordinary sobriety, passion and reserve. Any historian can argue the "facts" of this movie, but you have to be a real cynic to argue against the message. This is a compelling and sympathetic treatment of the spread of Christianity after the passion, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. The Holy Spirit doesn't make the Apostles "superman," but they do gain strength that is supernatural. I really couldn't recommend this movie enough. If you are a Christian and get through it without shedding a tear, I would be surprised. Beautiful movie.
St. Peter
Review by Sandra J. Barnes, 2010-03-13
This video was well acted. It does not depict baptism by immersion and is slanted toward the Catholic religion. It does give a good over all view of the ministry of Peter.
Have they read the Bible??
Review by B. Flannigan, 2010-01-24
The product review said that Paul was crucified ( he was beheaded and Peter was crucified)
and that Peter met someone on the road to Damascus ( Paul met Yeshua( Jesus) on the road to Damascus which led to him becoming a follower of Yeshua).I did not watch the movie because if this is what it is about it quite obvious this is another movie" based on " the Bible in which they change events to suit themselves.
The new modern movies do this sort of thing ( ie: the made for TV movie about Noah a few years back)
Read the Bible yourself to get the truth of these men's lives

Review by Gene Goranov, 2010-01-07
This is a product concocted in a haste,it is depressingly bad, with possible exception of moments of good acting of the tired star. It is not accurate , as the previous reviewers noted. It is NOT a work of art. Many soap operas are of much better artistic quality. It is depressing to see how great themes are treated to achieve mediocre goals.
St. Peter Omar Sharif
Review by P. Thomas, 2009-11-09
What happen to the feisty character of the Bible? Peter, as depicted in this film,
acted timidly, tentatively, and apologetically. An overly long film, the editor should have
shortened the romantic interlude. The scenes of the Roman circus caught the attention
of the teens who watched the film. They realized the brutally of the age.
