Movie Reviews of Facing the Giants
Movie Review: This is a movie that makes it easy for everyone to like it...
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent, fantastic, stupendous movie, but be forewarned that this movie has a deeply religious message if you haven't seen it before...
Having said that, this movie is an incredible example of writing, acting, directing and cinematography. The actors are all unknowns as far as Hollywood is concerned, and this fact makes the movie even more refreshing. If the key, religious message is removed from the storyline, this movie is still a winner! Even better, this movie can be seen by audiences of all ages without having to worry about the sex, drugs, violence and other gratuitous gimmicks Hollywood uses to lure their audiences into theaters.
As a sports fan, this movie is fun to watch in order to get ready for football season.
If you want to watch a love story, this movie has elements of that, too.
As a Believer, watch this movie with a box of tissues nearby. This movie will bring you to tears because of the powerful presentation of its message. There are also important life lessons for non-believers (charity, honesty, etc.).
P.S. Kudos to Mark Richt, head football coach at the University of Georgia for his cameo appearance in this movie.
Movie Review: Wow! These folks better make more of these!
Summary: 5 Stars
My family loves this film. What an nice addition to the home movie shelf! You will not find too many movies to compare to this one, if you are looking for good family values and A BIBLICAL INTIMACY with God. The husband and wife team really show how a Biblical marriage is intended to be. Even if you can't have both marriage partners be close to God, you can certainly model many of the Godly attributes this husband and wife show.
The film is full of the bottom line value and Biblical examples of "i'll praise You when we win, and i'll praise You when we lose." What a heart-throbbing movie at times! If you walk intimately with Yahweh, and His son Yeshua [Jesus], you will feel the Holy Spirit's Inspiration flowing thru this film. God indeed desires a PERSONAL relationship with you, to walk thru the storms AS WELL AS to bless and reward you in various ways.
Also, watch the "special features" on the DVD and see how many people were on their knees ALL THE TIME in prayer to glorify God, while they made this movie. It's heart-warming, encouraging, and indeed, glorifies the Holy One.
Another "buy it you won't regret it, and share it!" type film. Praise the Lord.
Movie Review: It made me think
Summary: 5 Stars
Coach Grant Taylor (played by Alex Kendrick) has been going through life, doing what he should...but somehow it never seems to amount to much. He wanted to turn his school's football team around, he wanted to give his wife a good home, and he wanted to have a family. But, one by one, each of his dreams seems to be falling apart. And then, an old man comes into his office and reads to him from the Bible - it is then that Grant has an epiphany, it's not about him, it's about faith. It's an epiphany that will turn his life around 180 degrees!
This is a great movie, one that I found really inspiring. Yes, I can see how some people found it a little over the top - so much going wrong before Grant commits himself, and so much going right afterward. But, it is hard to use subtly when cramming a lot of learning into such a small time.
I really enjoyed this movie - it made me think, and it really convicted me into thinking about my own faith and what it means for how I live my life. So, if you want a great, family-friendly movie with great values, then get Facing the Giants. It's one of the best movies I have seen all year, and I give it my highest recommendations!
Movie Review: My ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE!
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW, this is my ALL-TIME Favorite movie! I laughed, I cried. I cannot see for the life of me, why anyone except maybe a non-christian, would not love this movie.
This Movie was GREAT. There are sooooo many positive messages in this film.
1. God can do anything.
2. God loves you.
3. Jesus is the way.
4. It shows kids how to respect their parents.
5. It encourages a "do not quit" work ethic.
6. It shows how the wife respects her husband as the spiritual leader in the home.
7. It shows a husband who truly loves his wife.
8. Great football scenes.
9. It shows that cheaters lose in the long run.
10. It shows that God blesses those who put their faith in him.
11. It shows that talking bad behind someone's back is wrong.
12. There is NO swearing, no sexual perversions.
13. It shows a Godly father teaching his Son NEVER to give up.
Lastly, it has such an awesome ending. But if you think about it, all of us who put our faith in Jesus WILL have an awesome ending as well. I am almost crying just writing this review. I could watch this movie over and over and over again. FANTASTIC.
Movie Review: Great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
Note: I'm actually not a "kid" but being concerned about creepy people on the Internet, I decided to use the "Kids Review Form". I loved this movie. We watched it last night and we were cheering out loud. Someone said it misused God's name... and it didn't. There MIGHT have been something that said "The Lord only knows"... I think I remember that, but I got the impression that they were genuinely referring to God and not flippantly using His name (and I'm not really sure "Lord" is God's NAME anyways...). But enough on that. A completely inspiring movie. The acting, contrary to what some people say wasn't terrible. The acting, contrary to what some people say wasn't great. It was OK - I felt like the people on screen had talent within them, but they hadn't had the training to bring it out to the surface. Not surprising on a $100,000 budget. There were a few notable exceptions - two characters in particular did excellent - and I was really impressed overall - I mean come on, a $100,000 budget? They did great for that! All the actors volunteered their time to. Watch it! Buy it! I love this movie! It is super-inspiring and keeps you smiling for days after you see it!
