Storyline

The story of the film is adapted from the Old Testament: The Philistines declare war on the Israelites and wrench the Arch of the Alliance from them. Saul, the king of Israel, listens meanwhile to the words of the prophets who tell him that the new king will be a young shepherd called David. But still David has to fight the enemy in form of their mighty giant, Goliath.—Volker Boehm



Short Review

i have to say i liked this one, its worth a watch and i would even dare say, put it on blu ray. it needs a face lift, however like most movies, its story isnt like the bibles, they mixed it up a bit and put in a plot to kill the king, something that wasnt in the story of David and Saul. would of been better to go with the bible and how its written. i did however like Orsen Wells as Saul. he had the perfect look for saul, david on the other hand, meh, they should of gotten someone else. its a decent movie, if you can get over how they told the story. also, the girfriend at the beginning of the movie, wasnt in the biblical story, that why i wouldnt give it a four star.
