Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News The Forge takes a long time creating any dramatic tension and spends too much time on cliched tropes — the addictive nature of videogames – to make its point. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 21, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files While The Forge speaks to the power of mentorship, that doesn’t speak or account for a real world. The Kendrick Brothers take a promising faith-based story and turn it into a fairy tale with a neat and tidy happy ending. Rated: 6/10 Dec 27, 2024 Full Review Jeff Beck The Blu Spot Screenwriters Stephen & Alex Kendrick may have set out to make an inspirational tale with The Forge, but sadly that uplifting message ultimately gets buried and smothered to the point where it ends up having very little to say at all. Rated: 2/5 Dec 2, 2024 Full Review Hosea Rupprecht Pauline Media Studies one cannot deny that the kind of mentoring showcased in the film could be of spiritual benefit to teens and young adults, especially those looking for direction in their lives. Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Tyler Smith Battleship Pretension Unfortunately, after years of compromise and stubbornness, these Heaven-minded filmmakers have successfully crafted a road that leads directly to a cinematic Hell. Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Michael Medved The Michael Medved Show The struggles in this story are subtle, spiritual, and never melodramatic, but the characters are richly portrayed and deeply engaging... you come away feeling that you know and care about these people surprisingly deeply. Rated: 3/4 Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
