Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

ladeboy-79991 This movie changed my narrative. It's opened my mind to realise that God is the ultimate. Every other thing is secondary. Jesus first

aspringborn This movie was really a realistic movie even though it was not based on a real life event. The lighting was overall very natural without using any special effects. Sound was overall natural. The Cinematography is overall basic but very high quality work. The only basic effects they use in the film is transitioning an fading out based on highlight reals and/or transistors from one mood to another. The tone of the film and the characters was like a roller coaster. The coach's family was struggling. They were believers but they had to learn with God anything is possible by praying and having total faith within Him. Ever since then, a lot blessings happened. Someone got the the teacher/coach and his wife a new vehicle. Then the coach motivated his football team about putting God first and teaching his players having faith and about doing there best. They lost once they reached the playoffs and then with a special chance from God; and they took advantage of that and won the state Championship. This film is slightly comparable with God's Not Dead and other Christian movies.

Darian A. Caplinger When I first heard of this movie and read reviews about how it was overly preachy, I decided to pass on it. Then I saw a brief clip from it, which contained one of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen... ever. It was because of that scene I decided to give the film a shot. I'm so thankful I did. When I first started hearing about the level of proselytizing in the film, I thought it was a joke. Watching the movie, it actually feels right... after all, it is a Christian school.The acting is actually decent. The writing is good. The storyline isn't original, but it's still believable. I connected with the characters, and found myself emotional in all the right spots. It's a film which proves you don't need foul language, sex, nudity or graphic violence in order to create an awesome movie (Hollywood should be paying attention!). I don't know what the film's budget was, but it didn't feel like a low budget flick. The film has a good soundtrack, positive humor, and a great message.If you are an atheist, you probably won't like this film. For anyone else, try to remember this is a Christian based film, produced by a Christian based group, with a heavily biblical message. It's a good film, I recommend giving it a shot.

kaleyseaber It is absolutely heart wrenching and baffling to discover that so many Christian viewers walked away from the film, Facing the Giants, with pessimism and resentment. Looking deeper behind the scenes, Facing the Giants isn't just another inspiring sports story that reveals the athletic achievements of an overwhelming amount of blood, sweat and tears. In fact, this indie picture stretches its $10,000 budget far beyond the million dollar sports blockbusters such as Bend it Like Beckham, Hoosiers, and Remember the Titans, in terms of everlasting impression. The inspiration for this enriching Christian film was developed by two brothers, Stephen and Alex Kendrick, who both work as pastors at their church in Albany, Georgia. Hoping to spread the message of Christ's prevailing grace to both Christians and nonbelievers, members of the Sherwood Baptist Church provided hundreds of volunteers to help in the creation of this movie. Although Facing the Giants isn't a production with big-time actors (or even authentic actors for that matter), the underlying allegorical messages and the unapologetic representation of a real life testimony of God's grace and mercy bring a modern day twist on the historic grandiose of the Christian faith.Facing the Giants shadows the intimate struggles of a man named Grant Taylor who has been the high school football coach of the Shiloh Eagles for six years and has never led his team to a victorious season. Further along in the movie, Taylor simultaneously learns that a group of disgruntled parents is covertly scheming to have him sacked as the head coach and that he and his wife, Brooke, are physical unable to have children of their own. Under these shattering conditions, Grant cannot find anywhere to turn and he cries out to God in hopelessness. After receiving an uplifting and unexpected message, he seeks to discover and implement a deeper devotion for his high school team. Taylor challenges his competitors to believe in the impossible feats God on and off the field. When faced with unbelievable odds, the Eagles must step up to their greatest test of strength and courage. What transpires is a dynamic story of the fight between faith and fear.It is apparent that some Christian critics were hoping for an entirely different movie – one where faith engulfs suffering, even in moments when God makes decisions we may not agree with; which is undeniably an important value in the Christian faith, but this movie wasn't about that. I agree that throughout biblical history, many believers have suffered. God does occasionally use our distress to bring himself glory, but other times He creates unimaginable victories for His followers: the story of David defeating Goliath, a colossal human being, is one that creates the idea that God has the power to do marvelous and unbelievable things, especially for those people who have faith in Him. This is the principle that outlines what this movie truly stands for. The most widely recognized and influential scene throughout the entire movie is one that occurs on the football field after a long practice. One of the main characters, Brock, who struggles with adversity throughout the plot is blindfold by his coach and told to crawl as far as he can with one of his teammates on his back. In what seems to be an unfeasible task, Coach Taylor repeatedly encourages his captain until Brock unmasks himself in the back of the end zone. Although my narrating doesn't do justice to the passion of the event, this almost impossible accomplishment marks the turning point in which faith begins to lead the Shiloh Eagles in a positive direction.However, (contrary to popular belief) this film additionally does make a strong argument for the idea that God doesn't always provide comfort to those who plead to Him. The contrasts of both angles are true throughout the film: sometimes God creates tremendous victories, and other times Gods people have to endure a great amount of suffering. The most important thing to pull from both of these perspectives is that both are intentional means to reveal God's plan for the world. After I walked away from watching this movie I was reminded that God should never be underestimated, because He can do such wonderfully outstanding things through fragile and imperfect people: which if you truly are a Christian, you have come to terms that we can only be made perfect in the light of the Lord.
