David and Goliath

The film does a great job of showing what could have happened in the life of King David. The introduction of Goliath is great, but looks like it was an afterthought. Most of the performances are well done, except the lead. His lines come off as read.

The only thing biblical about the movie is the character names. David was anointed by Samuel at Jesse's home, not out in the desert. David never fought Goliath with a sword prior to the slingshot. I could go on... This was more Star Wars in the Desert. Do not watch unless you like B comedy

The title of this film would at least make me hope for something fairly decent, but I was really let down. This film is rubbish. I can't believe I actually made it to the end of this film. Every cast member speaks in the exact same voice, which leads me to believe they might have just used the same 3 actors to play every character ..... There's never any excitement in any actors face or voice, including at the end when he beats Goliath (even then, you can find those exact same recorded cheers anywhere really....) ..... And as for getting a slash across the back of your knee and not screaming in pain instantly .... Well, this film does that incredibly well .... I'd happily give this a 0 star rating if I could.....

This is so bad to there was one point at which I thought it was a comedy! People in the cast appeared to be walking aimlessly around in circles, about five horses walked past the camera on a number of occasions. Where on Earth all these people were walking to is a mystery given that they simply appeared to be circling around some ruins. The plot is basically the biblical story that takes up just a few verses in the Bible. It is however strung out for so long, so amateurishly and with such poor production quality that it becomes almost laughable.

This film essentially begins with the prophet "Samuel" (John Knox) wandering through the desert in search of a young man who is destined to become the next King of Israel. Needless to say, after passing over all of his brothers he finds "David" (Matt Berberi) tending his father's flock and after a bit of conversation anoints him as the heir apparent to "Saul" (Rodger Halston). So far so good. Unfortunately, the film goes totally off the rails after this as Samuel now takes it upon himself to train David for an extended period of time for combat. Not only that but he also convinces 4 other young men to assist as well. To that end, the actual combat with "Goliath" (Michael Foster) is of a very short duration and--other than possibly the presence of Devin Brooke (as "Michal")--is the only thing of any interest as the rest of the film was exceedingly boring. That being said, this is one of those pictures which I cannot recommend to anybody and I have rated it according.

This lacked so many aspects of the story. David,though young, was fearless and brave, not timid as portrayed in the movie. He was not a trained Warrior like his brothers were, he was a shepherd. He did not need to be trained because God was on his side. This lscked the perspective of David and God's relationship. And so many inaccurate details through the whole movie. Sad. If this were any other movie based on a book or true story it would have to be accurate and depict the story as written, even down to the small details because that's what is expected be the viewers, author and critics. Why, when it comes to the Bible, film makers feel they have to change it to make it seem more interesting? Shame.

This is very funny movie I have ever seen :-)...I only have watched first 15 minutes of the movie then I realised that.David and the other characters actually a part of 3rd quality spaghetti western movie. The location is more Texas than middle east and all characters are talking' and acting like cowboys...funny..

You can watch it but for more than half movie looks like the Rocky IV training to the fight. Lot of banal quotes. Musics are not matched totally with the atmosphere of scenes. A low budget movie (i hope) that u can watch but nothing so exciting
