5.0 out of 5 stars It was made very well, March 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Greatest Heroes of the Bible: David and Goliath (1978) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This film was very well done. David and Goliath is a very fun story of the Bible. The best part that I really liked is that the movie used God's name Jehovah. Hardly any movie uses God's name Jehovah. The name of the only true God, David worshiped when he was alive.

I like the vhs movie, David And Goliath. Greatest Heroes Of The Bible Is a Very riveting movie, and it held my attention. I felt as though I were there as all of the events transpired. This is as close as it gets, folks ! Truely, straight out of the pages of the Old Testament! I was cheering David as he swung the pebble stone at Goliath`s forehead.

This review is from: Greatest Heroes of the Bible: David and Goliath (1978) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

OK, so this is not "The Ten Commandments," or any number of the early 60's blockbusters, but it's a good film nonetheless.

The young shepherd boy battles a mighty giant, and you see courage against overwhelming odds. A small Israeli army is holding off the Philistines, but it will take a miracle to defeat these pagans. And when the giant Goliath appears (really remarkable, with Ted Cassidy in the lead), and Goliath challenges the Israelites to combat, God sends an unlikely hero armed only with a sling and his faith, and soon the Philistines will know the power of David's conviction and the might of his God in this inspiring tale of trust and triumph.

This is a good film, as earlier stated, and it's about 50 minutes long, and it stays pretty much to the biblical account. There wasn't too much deviation from the story line, and you need to distance yourself from the well-known actors, otherwise you might be playing Siskel and Ebert, and trying to figure out who the best portrayal was. Put that stuff away, and enjoy the film, because it's highly recommended!!!
