sevenofnine_5 Carman: The Champion was a wonderful movie for those of us who are Christians. I wouldn't say that is was the best movie ever made, but it also wasn't the worst either. I enjoyed it very much. At least someone had the courage to make a movie like that. And it is one of the few movies out there that has no harsh language, no nudity, and it has worship music in it. I think Carman should be commended for this movie. I know he worked long and hard to make a movie like this. At least someone is trying to get the message and the gospel out there for people to see. I wish there were more movies like this one out there. There are far to few of them in my opinion. Thank you.
wayne-91 A former world-champion boxer moonlights as a hotel security guard to help pay for his "hobby" gig, a drop-in youth center? Okay, but why does center have to be three stories high? And how is it that when the star appears in the hotel luxury suite to break up a rowdy party, nobody recognizes him-- even though the party is hosted by the PRESENT world-champion boxer? Ugh. There are about eleven seconds of "actual entertainment" in this paint-by-numbers effort, contained in two scenes where the star flirts with the leading lady. How much acting talent does THAT require? I can't believe I sat thru this whole movie.
odee-wan-kenobi This is a movie like "Rocky" only this time there was a real goal to obtain. The boxing scenes were very intense. I had to stop myself from crying out in the theatre at the end.Also, I really liked the movie mainly because I didn't have to worry about nudity, profanity or sexual situations when I took my almost 7 year old nephew to the movie. He said that it was the 'best movie ever'.This movie made me aware of how young people today can get mixed up in dangerous situations when there is no full-time parental guidance, which makes us adults accountable for what goes on in our streets.
C A The movie had great action as well as a great story. Although it did seem to jump around a little and some things weren't fully flushed out, the overall was great!I love going to movies that encourage and inspire me in my own life. It's great to see someone else having to hold onto their Faith in God's promises and even having to do things that seem impossible.It's not just a boxing movie. It's a movie about Faith and courage. Everyone should be able to find something that they like about the film.I can't wait until it's available on video so that I can own a copy!!This movie also has a great soundtrack, which I hope is available soon as well.
