ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

statmanjeff Never knew the story of David and Goliath was a comedy classic till I came across this film. From the muffled microphones when guys embrace, to fast-motion death stabs accompanied by chopsocky sound swipes, to skies rumbling almost every time David speaks (not quite as timed out as saying "Frau Blücher" around horses in Young Frankenstein, but close enough), to shameless soldiers correcting their leaders' perceptual errors, to Baldrick from Blackadder as a Greek poet, to inexpert CGI work that creates several unintentional giants among the Philistines besides Goliath, I don't think I ever laughed and smiled as much through a biblical story as I did here. I will not be surprised -- and kind of look forward -- to someday seeing a musical or dark comedy version of this story. 4 out of 10 if a serious effort; 8 out of 10 for the unintentional comedy. Made me a fan of the entire, mixed ethnicity cast, too (including the one or two wooden actors among them).

Fernando de la Cruz I don't know what was worse: the script, the acting, or the editing. The producers' intention was probably good, though. I'm glad many folks enjoyed this film but, with a better education in film appreciation, one can praise the Lord better.Omg, I wanted to be brief but my review has to be at least 5 lines long or it won't be posted, so I'll add that I don't mean to antagonize anyone but no keep silent would be a sin of omission.

hlraza-37948 this is the most pathetic attempt at making a movie i have ever seen. the acting is atrocious, the dialogue is ridiculous, even the costumes and wardrobe looks as if it was put together in a junk yard. a child in year 2 at school could act and write better dialogue. i have seen some crappy attempt at film making before but this is probably the worst ever. the Goliath character is not believable at all the only reason he was used was because he was tall. i like the occasional bible epic but this movie and i use the term loosely would actually make me reconsider my faith and become a non believer. whomever wrote this piece of trash should go to church and ask God for forgiveness for wrecking such a great story

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.
