Movie Reviews of Facing the Giants
Movie Review: Catalyst To Accomplishment Of Dreams - Facing D Giants!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't so much like watching films. While on Amazon, just trying some items I could test my transaction with, I got captivated by few titles including Facing The Giants. Men! I got glued to my laptop screen watching Facing The Giants. So moved and inspired. After the film, I knelt down to pray under a heavy tears gushing out my eyes. While praying, I got the shining light into two vital areas of my life. 1. The challenge I am presently facing maritally became an opportunity for me to receive the faithfulness of God and after facing the giants in it, overcoming, becoming more matured, built up and rooted to handle future giants and help others with what and where I have been helped too.
2. Suddenly! The fear of unknown, complacency and slowness to face the challenges of kicking off an entrepreneur business fades away. Right now, I am few days to signing an M.O.U (Memorandum Of Understanding) with a Big manufacturing company as one of the major distributors in town.
Please friends, watch this film in a solitary place, use it for a re-treat and allow the God of possibilities inspire your mind about your life.
Because God says WE CAN! Then We CAN BE WHAT HE SAYS WE CAN! - GIANTS ON THE WAY NOT WITHSTANDING! They are just "Catalyst To Accomplishment Of Dreams"
Movie Review: Inspiring beyond other football movies
Summary: 5 Stars
We love football in the South, so we love football movies. They're exciting, action-packed and inspiring. And they usually address important character traits beyond teamwork, because who you are on the field, in the heat of battle, is who you are. But Facing the Giants takes it to a whole new level. My son and I wanted to watch it again as soon as it ended. We bought it to take to Canada for friends to see, and one friend had just seen it a few nights earlier because somebody from Montana had taken it up! It's spreading like wildfire. Faith is really put to the test in this story, and not just faith in teammates or the head coach; real faith. The kind you have to dig deep for, even pray for, and then ignore everything your senses are telling you in order to keep. The kind that works. If you've never seen that kind of faith work in real life, like I have many times, then I dare you to watch this movie and not want it - that faith, I mean. And the movie, too!
Flywheel Earlier movie by same group - less professional, but a great story.
The Perfect Stranger He's not what you would expect.
Movie Review: EXCELLENT!! A movie we could fully enjoy!
Summary: 5 Stars
It has been so long since we watched a movie that had nothing objectional in it. Kudos to all involved with the creation of this movie! We can truly let our children watch "Facing the Giants" and not be concerned. At the same time it offers several opportunities to open up conversations with your children. There is: *no sex *no swearing *no immorality *no innuendo *no unnecessary violence *no immodesty. There are people you can believe with real, everyday problems. They show life the way it is - you have to work through your problems and face them head on.
There is one situation where one of the players is overtly disrespectful to his father. The scene is necessary to the movie and is handled very well. It is not just thrown in there because it's "how kids are". The resolution comes later in the movie and is to be commended.
For a cast and crew of volunteers this movie can't be beat! Buy one for yourself and several to give away and look forward to a wonderful evening with your preteen and teenaged children.
Not sure why it's rated PG. We've been offended by many G rated movies, animated and not, that have unnecessary innuendo and inappropriate behaviors in them. Facing the Giants is a family-acceptable movie.
Movie Review: About The Message
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie fulfills its purpose, which is what the plot of the movie is actually all about. It shines light on the message of Truth that with God all things are possible. I have seen this movie twice and was unexpectedly moved to tears each time. Any man or woman who has faced their "giant" in life will be impacted by this film. Critics of this movie either went in with ulterior expectations of entertainment, or they are just pushing the powerful message away so not to be accountable for their personal relationship with God and what God wills to do through them. These people probably are best staying in their cynical "Hollywood" way of life. It's absolutely ridiculous the fixation on the "amateur acting" in other reviews. Point is, this movie is not about "acting" but it's real life, albeit with the great game of football merely being used symbolically. Any man who is making any positive impact in his life for Christ will relate to the coach in the movie. Any strong woman in Christ will relate to the coach's wife. What is revealed is how powerful God is when He is placed first in a marriage, a team, in any endeavor. Highly recommend this movie (message) and for it to be seen with your "guard" down. Let it sink in with its "bigger picture".Movie Review: If Acting And 'Cinematography' Are Hang-Ups For You...
Summary: 5 Stars
...then don't buy this DVD. BUT -- if you're like many families that are sick and tired of paying big dollars for PG-range movies only to be surprised by unnecessary vulgarity peppered with sexually charged themes that weren't revealed in the trailers, then this film is PERFECT for you! I cannot stress the following enough: This movie is not about football...it's not about oscar-winning acting...it's not even about cutting edge 'cinematography' or high-budget special effects; It's about a MESSAGE of surrender and laying down one's life for the Creator of all things so that He can do a great work in you. It's that very MESSAGE that caused me to pause and think about my own life's priorities. Long after the credits scroll across the screen, you'll be thinking about this movie. You'll see it dozens of times because its impact is so profound. That's REALLY what people are buzzing about from this film. Like other customers, I do value opposite points of view to balance my own. In this case, most of them I've read are not at all justified. I doubt anyone in Hollywood could storyboard a film for the entire budget that Sherwood Pictures had to film, edit, and produce this one. Skip dining out this week and purchase this DVD! You won't be sorry.
