Movie Reviews of Facing the Giants
Movie Review: Great Movie and Very Inspirational
Summary: 5 Stars
I am with everyone else in saying that this movie is a must see. It was not only inspirational but entertaining and interesting as well. I first felt like a previous reviewer stated when he said that he did not think he would be interested in the movie due to the sports content. But when I saw it, I was so glad because it was a great movie with a strong message. I was also impressed with the quality of the movie that it did not seem like one of those cheesy christian films. I don't despise those beginnings for christian films(in fact I have a few in my library)for they used what they had in their hand at the time and it still ministered, but it's good to see improvement in the quality in regard to the acting, scripts and overall production without compromising the message. Just think, all this done by a church. It's simply incredible to me that they pulled this off. It just goes to show you that there are no limitations with God when it comes to getting His work done. I definitely give this great movie two thumbs up with my 5 star rating!!Movie Review: Awesome Family Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Your in for a good Game of Life movie. It's about a school football coach, his team called Shiloh Eagles who in the end win enough games to play at state (by divine influence)... It's about finding out who his real friends are. And about his family and home life. Things just don't start out like you think they should.
There are so many instances of gaining things back that the coach loses, that you can't imagine a God doing anything less! Someone buys him a brand new ____:) (no spoiler) just because he led his son to God and changed the son's attitude on life. He held on by a weak string of faith, which grew stronger as the coach gets back into the bible and prayer. He encourages the whole team and it gets contagious and there's a mini-revival at the school.
His wife and him go through a trying time of wanting a baby... I can't spoil it for you.
There is a lesson about "Preparing for Rain" - before you even see any clouds. It's an awesome analogy that everyone can use to build their own faith in God.
Movie Review: The power of perseverance touched with compassion
Summary: 5 Stars
Simply the most likeable movie I have ever had the pleasure to SEE and HEAR. I found this movie to be both amazing and inspiring. When a friend told me he was in tears or laughing through this movie, I kind of shook off his opinion as someone perhaps being maybe a little too soft or vanilla. To my surprise, I often found myself reduced to tears, and many times laughing. I have heard the scene the "death crawl" has been employed by college coaches. This was also a heartfelt and practical movie in that many characters had real life STRUGGLES not easily overcome by some immediate hollywood phony wizadry or manipulation. The "Cinderella Man" is the best movie I have seen in my lifetime, the close to the truth based story of James Braddock fighting in the Depression and the gentleness and goodness of family though faced with very hard times. This might be the most likeable movie you will see, and the spirited dialogue never lost by cliche' in my opinion or review. My Thanks.Movie Review: Great movie even if you are not into football!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great and truly inspirational movie! This movie is more about faith in God, and about doing your best than it is about football. It is a great movie for the whole family. We laughed, we cried, we cheered! It is a great faith-based movie without being overly "preachy." Even my 13 year old "know-it-all" son, and his Cathechism class all thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and all paid attention throughout the entire movie. I even watched the movie with my Mom, who is not really into sports, and she enjoyed it. It is so hard in this day and age to find a well made, wholesome, family movie with good morals, a great message, no violence (other than some brief football tackling), and no bad language. I highly recommend this DVD for all parents that want a wholesome and enjoyable movie that the whole family can watch and enjoy, while "sneaking in" some good old fashioned faith based values! Oh, and by the way, it is a true story, and truly inspirational!Movie Review: A Hidden Gem of a Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I had heard good and bad things about this movie before I watched it. But I finally sat down to see it, little knowing I was about to be blown away. I wish that hollywood would have more sense as to make more movies like this instead of the profanity-laden, violence-driven, sensuality-soaked garbage which seems to be standard fare in our theaters and homes today. All this movie's message does is lift you up, not put you down.
All of us can simpathize with Coach Taylor. All of us have at one time or another questioned God's love and even sometimes God's very existence. And yet instead of turning to the bottle or drugs or an illict affair, he pours out his heart to God and waits for an answer. And God swiftly brings the matter to a resolution so miraculous no one could doubt the supernatural authenticity of it all.
I've seen the miraculous in my life as well, and I firmly agree with Grant Taylor: "With God, nothing is impossible".
