Featured reviews
We have all see movies, comedies, action and dramas. We all liked ones, hated others, got into some other even and felt like part of it. In DAVID AND GOLIATH; you start slowly, after a while you get attached, by the time you reach the middle of the movie you simply totally forget about anything outside the screen and feel a mixed stream of emotions going through you head before anything else.
God is totally given honor in the film and the Bible and Psalms is given total honor.
Then comes a last 20 minutes of heart storming that is surely enough to raise the adrenaline to extreme levels even in diabetics! I felt warm, strong, happy and all other emotions one can think of, I felt I was the one who won, who got out of prison, i was simply fully satisfied. You see the Lord in every aspect in young King David
This movie must be used as an Anti-depression by therapists! This movie proves that Oscars are either money bought gifts! - they would never give a Christian film an Oscar. Or that who ever in charge of them are so smart that they couldn't give any Oscar to David and Goliath knowing that the movie is on different - much higher- rating scale than the Oscars.. it's simply about Jesus.

Rating: A.
The previous guy was right - the film has like 8.5 million views on Youtube and tens of thousands of great comments.
These negative reviews are coming from the same people.
Flawlessly shot on location in Morocco and North Africa, the whole production binds together to bring the extraordinary Bible story into the realm of a believable and compelling study of human injustice and GOD.
Its greatest honor is giving glory to the Lord in every scene.
This is one of the best movie versions of a Bible story I've ever seen, and I think I've seen them all. If you're prone to tears at a film, take extra tissues, you'll need them. The theater I was in was a mass of sniffles through the end credits.
You can watch this for free on Youtube again. This is how generous the filmmakers are. Give them due respect.

10/10.
The story unfolds in unhurried fashion, with us being unsure of David's power for much of the movie, but with a gradually building sense of injustice at the way those in power in the system (GOLIATH) can treat him (and others) unfairly. The secret doesn't come at the end, but at about the three quarters mark, and brings with it a huge emotional kick. And then the story is allowed to make its own way into a gentle and perfect end.
This is, without any doubt, one of the most spiritually uplifting films I have ever seen.
God is upheld. The Bible is upheld. David is a Christ-type figure in that he was willing to sacrifice himself for others. Beautifully-told story.
I saw this film on Youtube where it has an unbelievable 8.7 million views.

Ignore the haters. They will stand before God someday.
This is just such an amazing Bible film, it captures every emotion possible in only the way an expert director can achieve, we can go on for whole scenes without the need for speaking, everything is told through the genuine body language and expressions. And when there is conversing we get such emotion and wonderfully powerful Biblical quotes What we do in life, echoes in eternity" Wow.
The ending scene is spellbinding, showing the true gore of battle, the fight scenes are marvellously realistic, discarding the popular "pretty" sword fighting for brutal aggressive force. The audience in the arena express every emotion, surprise, anger, and enjoyment. The cast is brilliantly chosen from England. They shot the film in North Africa.
God-honoring movie in every sense. You can watch it for free on Youtube.

David and Goliath takes you on an emotional journey that you will remember for a long time, thanks to the superb crafting of the film and sincere performances by the cast. The score is deep and haunting, this film is for the ages and will permenantly have a place in my heart. To me it is one of the best Christian film of the 2000's and quite possibly one of the best of all time.
The fact that this film has over 8 million views and thousands of great comments on Youtube is a testament to just how many people love this film, many viewers seem to have an emotional bond with the film, and I don't blame them. I only wish that I could view the film for the first time again, and experience that redeeming feeling of David and his brothers experienced at the end.
Ignore the negative comments surrounding the film and judge it on your own experience, the last half hour are especially beautiful. Watch this if you already haven't, and enjoy the masterpiece. 10/10.

Camera cuts to a shot of Saul, happy. In the next shot, Goliath's sword is suddenly back in David's hands, held aloft and threatening the Armor-Bearer with it.
