You wanna good movie whithout all the profanity and sex in todays motion pictures? You wanna see some good characters that portray great heros? This is it. Carman plays Orlando (a retired boxer) who needs money to keep his misson going, and while being a security guard a a hotel, doesn't cut it, maybe getting back in the ring will. The catch is while coming home from work one day he was hit in the head wich should have left him dead. If he boxes again and gets hit in that spot, his life could be over. Wanna hear the rest? Well, you'll have to watch it to find out. This action packed movie with romance and drama has much more than I listed, and is a great movie for older kids and up. The acting and the storly line in this movie are great, a real 10 star movie. Also, the music and camera job on this movie are the best, i give that at least 10 stars by itself. Get this movie! (10 + 10 = 20 stars)

A great, eyecatching film. Carman is spectacular in portraying boxer who finds his way to Christ. This is a great family movie, someting you can enjoy for many years. It's full of adventure and excitement, with action that speaks to this generation. Definitely one of Carman's success'!

Carmen is eleictrifing. Movies are made to make you forget your everyday ups and downs and bring you to another place. I fill this movie does just that. It takes you thru one mans trials and tribulations and shows you another side to every story. I personally think one of the greatest boxing stories of the 20 century or that of any century. Carmen is well on his way of becoming a good actor. I highly recomend this movie for people of all ages.

This movie REALLY delivers a TRULY INSPIRING and HEART-WARMING message to parents and children alike. Lee Stanley does a MARVELOUS job directing this FANTASTIC picture. Buy it. You'll LOVE this film packed with HARD-HITTING action, romance, comedy, drama and NAIL-BITING suspense. This movie-PG in my view-is PERFECT for the WHOLE family. The song that plays at the end of the movie is about the will to persevere in the face of trials and tribulations and knowing that there's One on high watching over us; even though most of us may think otherwise.

This is the greatest boxing film I've ever seen in my entire seventeen years on the planet Earth. At first, I had my doubts about Carman being an actor. But he's great. I thought that he was even better than Sylvester Stallone in any of the ROCKY films. I also thought that the plot was extremely well crafted than the ROCKY film stories. Rocky, he had no other reason to fight than for his own self-interests. I thought this movie had it right: a former boxing champion forced to return to the ring after ten years because the dream that he's been fighting for is about to be lost. I also liked the Spiritual background of Carman's character, Orlando Leone, Jr. Being a Christian myself, I found this to be a refreshing boxing movie that was more about fighting for a dream than fighting for your own personal ambition. A very worthy film! I recommend this movie to everyone! I think you'll all enjoy it. Grade: A+

If you haven't seen this movie, you are really missing out on some good entertainment for your entire family. The best thing about this movie (and there are many good things) is that it gets better and better every time you watch it. This is not a movie that you watch once and never watch again. Really worth your money to purchase this one. Please do yourself a favor and your family and buy this movie and play it more than once (or twice). You will learn and see things each time that will heighten the movie's excitement and message of faith.

If you aren't a Carman fan to begin with, this movie should surely make you one. If you are a Carman fan and saw the movie or own the movie, please buy another for a friend (or someone) so they too can be touch by this faith filled, spirit uplifting, movie.

Even though there are no features listed on this website,I will tell you what they are. The DVD features the film in WIDESCREEN, a theatrical trailer and a 30-minute behind-the-scenes featurette. The DVD also has a great Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Soundtrack, it works real well for the music, but also makes the boxing fights sound more realistic. The picture looks excellent, and looks great in WIDESCREEN! If you have seen this movie in theaters, you will probably want to own this DVD. But it's hard to look for in stores. I've seen it in one store (can't list the name, but I'll tell you it's initials are B.B.). Buy this DVD immediately. This is an excellent film for the family, there's no language, but there is some violence and [mature] content... Carman "THE CHAMPION" is a movie that everyone in the world should see, doesn't mean they have to like it, just watch it! C YA LATER!

Finally, a christian movie that was well made. Considering that the quality of most christian movies is bad enough to give christians a bad name. It is about time that someone took the time to make one that was done well.

This is great movie!! I recommend it to everyone. A big "Kudos" to Carmen and TBN and all involved with this movie!! I just rented it for the first time and I plan to buy it soon, it is a keeper. Great performances abound, great storyline for sure and a great film period.Glory to God and praise to the maker of all things, Jesus!!! 2 thumbs and two toes up too lol.This movie is fabulous, no doubt.Get it soon!!!

All I can say is where is The Champion Part 2? This is easily the best film I've seen in a long time. Nomater if you are looking specifically for a Christian film, or just a film that leves you excited to be alive, The Champion is perfect! Carman did a spectacular job and should be recognized for his efforts in bringing such a film to life! I hope to see Carman in many films to come...what an inspiration! Thank you Carman!
