Goliath

A new movie based on a story from the Bible - a good idea, IMHO. A new movie based on a story from the Bible that completely changes and ignores the original story - not such a good idea, again IMHO.

New David And Goliath Movie Will Basically Turn The Bible Into 300

No really. Apparently Goliath is now some sort of bounty hunter hired to track down and kill David, who has been foretold as the future king of Israel.

I would really like for something like this to be good but... no. The Passion of the Christ was a great movie but when it starts becoming "Bible story meets (insert recently popular movie)" then I just cringe. Religious movies need a lot of originality instead of copying things. That's why they don't get respect. It's a shame too cause there's a lot of good lines in the Bible for actiony movies.



this is why historical films suck today. When idiots think they are smart and say "Lets make this an action film". These people should go to idiotville.
