Movie Reviews of Facing the Giants
Movie Review: Authentic Christian Life, stuggles, and power of prayer
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie ...especially if your from the south...captures what its is like to be a Christian and struggle with everything seeming like your at the end of your rope, but not losing faith. God has a plan for everything, it doesn't always end up this perfect, but things don't always get this bad. This movie is a statement of geniune faith,prayer, and seeking God's will.
I was happy because the story of how this film was made "by a guy with a dream to make a movie and his church" and also the fact that it doesn't seem hokie or fake...I've lived in communities that really were just like this! Great way to capture it guys!
I rented it....bought one for me and one for my family.
Great movie, story, and statement of faith.
Warning! The topic of Christianity is strong, not watered down or hidden or a referenced theme in the movie, very openly and intimately talked about. So, if you watch this in mixed company, be sure to let that be know first.
This is a very intimate portait of a Southern Christian's life and struggle.
Enjoy!!
This also a great football movie!
Movie Review: Best movie ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Facing the Giants" is at the very top of my favorite movie list now! The story is incredibly inspiring, and it had me laughing, tearing up, and going, "Come on, come on, you can do it!" the entire time.
Some people have trouble enjoying the movie as a movie because it is "preachy." I didn't read it as preachy, I saw it as a snapshot of real life with God at the center of your universe. It also helps show how we can incorporate God into our daily lives. He doesn't have to stay confined within the walls of our sanctuaries and Sunday School rooms. We can find him in our homes, in the doctor's office, or even on a football field.
God blesses those who give their lives wholeheartedly to him. And this film has captured the beauty of life with God at the wheel.
It was also cool to see a bunch of churches coming together to pull the production together. These are real people, telling the story of real life, with the real God.
(Music is fantastic too!)
Awesome movie, and I would recommend "Facing the Giants" to everyone!
Movie Review: A "Must Own" Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I waited four months for this movie to come out on DVD because it was not shown anywhere remotely close to my city. The wait was so well worth it. Others have critizicized this movie for the acting, cinematography and a few other things, which is all well and good. The point of any movie is what we walk away with as the end credits roll. This film is AMAZING and it put so many things in perspective for me. It is much more than a guy who declares his faith and gets everything he wants. The movie demonstrates the AWESOME power of God when we commit to following Him. It is a reaffirmation that we are to give our best to God everyday by doing our best in all that we do, including our relationships with others, no matter the outcome, good or bad.
Of note, my children, ages 8 & 9, enjoyed the film, but didn't completely understand the deeper meaning, which is ok, because it gave my husband and I a chance to talk with the kids about the film. This film is excellent for youth groups because they will be more likely to understand the message of the film.
Movie Review: Great Christian entertainment! (Part II)
Summary: 5 Stars
The Kendrick Brothers who brought us Flywheel delivers another film for the Lord, Facing the Giants.
It's the story of a high school football coach who has to come toe-to-toe with some of life's "giants", but with and through the help of the Lord, he learns that winning isn't just on the field or that the trophy you and your staff hope to win can't be won overnight. It also proves that fear and loss can be a motivator and that victory can be acheived off the field as well.
The production team behind Facing the Giants is once again made up of church staff and volunteers from Sherwood Church in Georgia, lead by senior pastor Michael Catt, who also serves as one of the film's executive producers.
Through the Lord and lots of prayers, there's nothing stopping the Shiloh Eagles (and many Christians worldwide) from facing their own giants!
May the Kendrick Brothers and Sherwood Church continue success through their ministry to bring God's Word worldwide.
Bless and keep them, Lord. In your name. Amen.
Movie Review: What a movie should be
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are frequently disappointed by the latest "blockbuster" that everyone is going to see, or studio adaptations of stories with budgets of tens of millions of dollars that say absolutely nothing, then you may enjoy this simple, low-budget story.
This movie has heart, a positive message, and earnest performances that will definitely hold your attention. The lead in the movie also wrote and directed the movie, and his movie wife is no actress, but an actual resident of southern Georgia who is married to a high school football coach. She is VERY different from most women you see in movies today, and I say that as a compliment.
The actual star of this movie isn't a character at all, but the faith that gives purpose to every character. The movie is just a subtext to explore the idea of what faith can do in our lives when we trust in something greater than ourselves.
This movie proves you don't need big stars or big budgets to tell a great story, or to express an idea when you have something important to say.
