alexiane250 The Room has better production value than this, my middle school play had better production value than this, but even though it is terribly shot, edited and acted that doesn't save it from the horribleness that is the script. An interesting, exciting complying classic biblical story made duller than watching paint dry or grass grow.

ashtree80 Is there a point in yet another bad movie review? I just watched this on Netflix - where the highest rating was 2 stars. I just don't know what to say. There is no possible way that someone HONESTLY thought this was a good movie. The good reviews I just read obviously had to be jokes or sarcasm...right? I love bad, campy, cheesy "B" movies, so on some level I got a chuckle over the ridiculously awful and inaccurate costumes, "acting", painfully repetitive dialogue and the sound quality. Those sound effects...I can't even..form words to describe how bad the sound quality is. As an example of bad movie making in every possible category, it is hard to think of a better choice ESPECIALLY because this was made in 2015. 1. Why is the army so ethnically diverse? Why are the accents so inconsistent? For all the people who inexplicably called this movie accurate: ancient Hebrew + British accent + fairly diverse ethnic backgrounds = accurate???????? I have nothing against diverse casting, but don't call it an accurate representation of ancient Israel. 2. What nationality / culture did the producers think this story was set in? 3. Was this even a serious effort? I honestly can't tell if the film makers are taking themselves seriously, or if this is parody. I don't have the strength to go on.

Snowmancup Seriously?!?! It absolutely blows my mind that any socially adjusted person would think this movie was good. If this movie moved you or renewed your faith in anyway you mustn't have had very much to begin with.As a Christian, I deem this movie bad and Tim Chey should feel bad. I think this movie actually indirectly mocks God or Christians or both and probably pushes people away from Christianity.Good Job Tim Chey, you may have created a new meaning to the term unprofitable servant.May God have mercy on your soul

dunfincin I watched this film last night having been encouraged by the first 6 or 7 very positive reviews on this site and did not notice the fairly low rating. I read a few more reviews this morning and all became clear. This film is absolutely dire on every level. The acting, direction, music and cinematography were third rate. The casting and costumes were laughable as others have said. If you read the account of the battle between the Israelites and Philistines in Samuel 1, you will see that it is not biblically accurate as some reviewers claim and in historical terms it is little more than a joke. What I simply cannot understand is how some reviewers see this film as in some way extolling the virtues of Christianity and reinforcing their belief in a Christian God. The legend of David and Goliath (it is really no more than that) has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity. David was a Jew and Goliath a believer in Baal (sometimes called Baal-Zebub - get the picture?) and dozens of other gods and most biblical scholars agree that the event itself never took place but it is simply a parable of the triumph of monotheism over polytheism. There is plenty of archaeological evidence to suggest there was a major battle between the Israelites and the Philistines at the end of the ninth century BC as a result of which the Philistine capital Gath was plundered and destroyed.But this happened nearly a thousand years before Jesus was born so where can the connection possibly be? How can David be championing Christian principles a millennium before their originator was supposedly born? What then is this film actually about? Beats me.
