TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
sdblack647 Great show, and I have been watching for years, but I have a question about show SERIES 5 EPISODE 8, THE ZANDE SPEAR. When sending the two finalist off to their home forge you said the shaft of the spear must be AT LEAST one and one half inches at cross section. When the one contestant's spear started in the tube for being fired and it did not go the entire way in, he was disqualified. Were there more detailed instructions given about the spear overall dimensions? If not, I feel this craftsman should not have been disqualified. Can you elaborate on the way you give specs of projects to contestants. Just wondering. Blackie
nicolasjabdelnour I just watched an episode and a knife broke while in a Judges hand, I love the show, but in my opinion that particular judge, and I guess whoever was around him, was seriously in harms way, please guys, wear some defensive equipment, these might be medieval weapons, but we have Kevlar right now, and head protection... take care, history is awesome :)
Leonard Robbins Man at Arms: Art of War on ELREYHD channel has nothing on Forged in Fire. Men at Arms rarely rates at a 2. It teaches barely nothing about weapon manufacturing and the weapon testing is boring compared to Forged in Fire. Forged in Fire will kill. I recommend anyone with a engineering, mechanical design back should support this program.
Ben Smith This show is just amazing, from something I knew nothing about too something I love to watch this show has just taught me so much. The 3 judges are great at explaining what is wrong and right with the blades and having some humour in there as well. I have found a passion for blacksmithing that I didn't know I had. I really like the different types of challenges that they set to show the true skill of the contestants. The only downfall I have with the show is it should be judged a bit more on the creativity and style of the weapon then just how it performs pushing the contestants to make cool looking weapons. I can't wait for more of this show. I have told all my friends to watch it, unfortunately that isn't many people anyway hopefully they will enjoy it.
