That was an excellent one.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Majid Majidi made another phenomenon movie! This was great!!

Before I watched this film, I thought one should be really expert in historical facts to build a historical movie which I realized was wrong. It's a film without even a plan! which contains just miracles every Iranian has heard of. Maybe Majidi was exited about the technology of special effects and wanted to show every miracle he has heard. And the rest of the film is about everyone is attracted to Muhammad without a reasonable reason while he is just a baby or little boy. I was wonder if Majidi has read even a book about Muhammad. But in the positive sight I thought the music and special effects of the film was really good.

I really need to watch this movie but due ban issues, we are unable to watch it in Pakistan. I have read all the comments above and see that there is an overwhelming majority of sane people who think that this movie is not a violation of their "Islam" but just another way of spreading the Message of Muhammad (S.A.A.W), the beloved of Allah to the masses.How anyone perceives this message is entirely up to his own...My only answer to negative mullah type thinkers is a crude translation of Baba Bulleh Shah's verse of Punjabi:You seek the Light, In Kaabah and Paradise; We are with Huzoor (S.A.A.W) Who stays in our Moor...--- I do not claim right to any text written above. I just spoke my heart out.Peace (Salaam)

I have never left a review before, but after watching this movie in theaters (I am an international student in Iran) I really wanted to express my joy at it. The visuals and sound in the movie surprised me right from the get go; I did not expect them to be this good. There were perhaps some minor areas where there could have been some improvements (more post-production and editing related), but other than that it is definitely a must watch. I hope they get really professional dubbing or sub-titling done, as a lot of non-Persian speakers will be interested in watching this movie.In terms of the story line, the movie tried to be as honest as possible - avoiding any blatant Shia-Sunni differences. It claimed to make use of historical reports that are famously accepted by both the sects and it more or less seems to have lived up to it.
