Soldier of Destiny (2012) Reviews

• Everything seemed simple, but okay ... until

  martin-graupner2014-03-11

  … until the two soldiers (whose English dialogues were English synchronized) encounter a car bomb. One of them unfortunately steps on a close IED. Guess, who wakes up: the one who stepped on the explosive device in the ground. Anyhow he got rid of his jacket and helmet before waking up. The rest of his body, including his legs, are pretty fine. But the one who didn't step on the hidden bomb seems dead (disappeared). If the explosion of the IED released the car bomb, what seems to be the case (implied by a huge crater), both of them MUST be not only dead, but burned to ashes. I mean, this movie is a joke. If a guy who steps on a bomb, what releases an even bigger bomb, ends with 2 plasters in his face and one on his hand (literally!), this movie is a stupid prank. I made it to minute 28. If I made it any further I sh/ myself.

• Shocking with awful acting

  Mk12922014-03-10

  I picked up this movie by chance and it seems there are no reviews anywhere about it so I gave it a go. What a mistake that was. One of the worst movies I've seen in a long while, it follows 2 marines, one which happens to be strangely overweight until they encounter a accident. After which it briefly follows the life of other said marine. To sum it up quickly, this film is straight up boring. The acting is terrible and the dialogue is incredibly poor and couldn't be further from unrealistic or cheesy. Avoid it if you want to save some time, I can't believe I've just sat through the whole of that.

• This should be played on an endless loop at Guantanamo

  ivnik82014-03-21

  This may be one of the worst films I've ever suffered through, second only to August Osage County. When the reviews are suspiciously uncritical and uber-adulatory that should send up red flags (check the amazon comments for this particular crime against celluloid – unintentionally hilarious in their fawning praise). The acting – if in fact it can be called that – even transcends "appalling", most nauseatingly from the Resident Hippy ("actor" Jonathan Pienaar), who effects this glacially-paced quasi-southern drawl throughout his entire screen time which unfortunately was most of the movie. The atrocious dialog was near-inaudible due to the relentless deafening attempt at incidental 'music', etc. I've nothing against Christian-themed 'message' movies (note to HollyWeird and rabid liberals: they have every right to a platform as well vs. being invariably cast as inbred, intolerant Neanderthals) but tend to avoid them and wish I had this one. I want my 90 minutes back. -100/10

• I Love My Lord but this is just simply a TERRIBLY made movie!!

  carrender20132014-04-27

  I am a Christian and am all for the lords will. I have to say that not everybody should be an actor or director and produce a movie. And this movie proves it!! The pathetic dubbed in audio was awful! The actors were worse than a group of 3 year old performing Gone with the wind at a melodrama in the middle of Bugtussle Kentucky!!! PLEASE LEARN TO ACT before you try to send gods message through a movie. This movie is an embarrassment!!!!! As far as all the idiotic atheist that get on this website to hand out low ratings to Christian movies, I want to say that you do not exist! You are probably just blaming god for the fact that you have made a stupid choice that has had a negative impact on you. I do not believe in atheist and neither does MY GOD!!!

• When you can't say anything nice

  realvedmak2014-03-11

  They say when you can't say anything nice you should not say anything at all. Well, what do they know. If there were no people like me, telling people like you that you can avoid pain and suffering by avoiding films like this one, what would you do? You welcome! See that SPOILER checked? Yup. So here it is. He dies. Yeah, big surprise I know. Problem with all religious mumbo jumbo films is that they do not have same impact in 21st century that they had when overall IQ level of humanity was far lower. This crapilicious film is basically about a guy who does not believe in God, then he does, then he dies. If you, like me, do not care (or simply do not believe), then entire thing is exercise in pointlessness.
