Mar 15, 2019 i could watch this movie over and over. Love, love, love it!

Feb 15, 2019 Facing the Gigants, directed by the brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, was released in 2006, starring Alex Kendrick, tells the life of the football coach of a high school, that hasn't been exactly the best team, the movie tells the journey of the coach guiding the team to the victory. I can tell, that the theme of the movie is good, talks about trust, hardwork and perseverance, the movie is sending a positive motivation to persuade a dream and win. On my point of view, the movie is not as good as it seems, on first place, the acting is not very good, almost all the scenes look kinda awkward, and it seems like they are only talking, not acting, and you can notice that the cast an amateur cast, with no exception, even the own director/actor, Alex Kendrick, not to mention a part of the cast is not showing coherence with the ages that they are supposed to picture. Also, there are a lot of unnecessary scenes related to religion, from the coach personal history, to the motivation of the team, religion is always present, you can even see scenes that are only talking with god, and of course, god is going to help them out of nowhere. The last point that makes this movie not good enough is that this movie is predictable, the story is predictable, the characters are predictable, you can tell the way it's going to end since the beginning. I knew it was going to be a motivational movie, but if we compare this movie, with other movies with the same theme, such as The Blind Side, this movie is a really bad movie, lacking in so many ways.

Han W Sep 9, 2018 Anyone that could throw a rotted tomato at this GREAT intention is of the same mindset a a crowd that cried out; "Crucify Him!" - And whether HE is preached in lower budget movies or multi-Billion dollar, in Truth or in false pretense,,, Drop your Stones and walk away from the adulteress, ( We, as a family, have watched this several times !! ) See more

Abraham S Jul 12, 2018 Great movie to remind oneself what's important.

Hermione S Jun 7, 2018 It's a fun family movie that gets very intense with real-to-life problems. The movie had me thinking about it even the next day. The message or moral-of-the-story is timeless. Some people might think this is a sappy Christian movie but I thought it accurately portrayed the discouragement, fear, apathy and emotional road-blocks that ordinary people are up against, as well as giving hope to all of us that we're not alone. Like I said: this movie is just plain fun but it also has some real depth to it. See more
