atxapela I just finished watching this on Netflix. I could not watch it through. I was cracking up reading the review of the guy who said it was the worst ever. And then I read some of the other reviews that elevate the movie as something almost Oscar-worthy. They are lying, and they know it. I would not have written this review and just let it rest for amusement ( for a moment I thought the film was a bad parody), but seeing those deceiving review made me write this. I am amazed at the amount of money this must have cost to create such an amateurish product. The religious zealots behind those praising reviews are either lying or have never seen a movie until this one. And I sincerely mean this. I feel bad for the talent that participated in the movie. I hope they got paid professionally and at least had a good time off screen in North Africa.

beyond2049 Any positive review in regards to this movie, is either part of the cast, or was paid to make a false review, its that simple.Costumes were made by a 8 year old with one eye.The mirror effects to make it look like their were more hired actors was off the charts bad, like you cannot believe your own eyes.Goliath was this tub of lard with a poor dental plan, as well as attitude.You know what, I could keep going on.. I'm done wasting another second........

hlraza-37948 this is the most pathetic attempt at making a movie i have ever seen. the acting is atrocious, the dialogue is ridiculous, even the costumes and wardrobe looks as if it was put together in a junk yard. a child in year 2 at school could act and write better dialogue. i have seen some crappy attempt at film making before but this is probably the worst ever. the Goliath character is not believable at all the only reason he was used was because he was tall. i like the occasional bible epic but this movie and i use the term loosely would actually make me reconsider my faith and become a non believer. whomever wrote this piece of trash should go to church and ask God for forgiveness for wrecking such a great story

dunfincin I watched this film last night having been encouraged by the first 6 or 7 very positive reviews on this site and did not notice the fairly low rating. I read a few more reviews this morning and all became clear. This film is absolutely dire on every level. The acting, direction, music and cinematography were third rate. The casting and costumes were laughable as others have said. If you read the account of the battle between the Israelites and Philistines in Samuel 1, you will see that it is not biblically accurate as some reviewers claim and in historical terms it is little more than a joke. What I simply cannot understand is how some reviewers see this film as in some way extolling the virtues of Christianity and reinforcing their belief in a Christian God. The legend of David and Goliath (it is really no more than that) has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity. David was a Jew and Goliath a believer in Baal (sometimes called Baal-Zebub - get the picture?) and dozens of other gods and most biblical scholars agree that the event itself never took place but it is simply a parable of the triumph of monotheism over polytheism. There is plenty of archaeological evidence to suggest there was a major battle between the Israelites and the Philistines at the end of the ninth century BC as a result of which the Philistine capital Gath was plundered and destroyed.But this happened nearly a thousand years before Jesus was born so where can the connection possibly be? How can David be championing Christian principles a millennium before their originator was supposedly born? What then is this film actually about? Beats me.
