The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone (2013)

Nice effects though.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

From my favorite movies..

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This film is basically a fantasy story, which is sort of awkward for a Christian Film. Contrary to what some people may think, Christian films generally portray things that can happen in real life, and not fantasy items like a magical medallion. But the makers of this film came up with a unique solution to this problem, it's set in a real life scenario of a man visiting an orphanage and telling the kids a story that's just pretend to teach them some lessons. The majority of the film consists of this story he tells. This is a great concept that I think more Christian film makers should try, it makes it possible for a fantasy story to work as a Christian film.The movie is sort of unbalanced in a number of ways. Some parts are very exciting, while other parts are kind of boring- at least after seeing it a few times. It's hard to say what age group it's meant for. Some parts are rather violent and scary, while other parts are more like what you'd see in a cartoon- sometimes bad guys get knocked out by just a little punch, which is sort of pathetic. Some of the fighting is pretty well done, but not all. There are also a couple times in which it almost seems like some clips are missing- at one point they're on a chase in the forest, then suddenly they're in town.Despite a few issues, overall it's a pretty good film, and a great concept. It's neat that the character who tells the story is played by Alex Kendrick. They couldn't have found a better person on earth to play this role. This was actually what got me interested in seeing it- his movies are beyond outstanding, and it's great that he's now starting to appear in other good films.

My family & I really enjoyed "The Lost Medallion". There was enough action & plot development to keep 2 adults and a 10 year old entertained for the entire movie. The acting was good, and there were great moral themes. I personally am sick of the action "blockbusters" we see where humanistic themes reign and the heroes are worshiped as gods. This was by no means comparable to the big Hollywood films, the production values & special effects would never compare to that. But it was great to see courage & kindness encouraged in children, there was no bad language & I felt very comfortable letting my 10 year old grandchild watch it. The ending message was positive & uplifting.

After seeing it I thought I wouldn't like my son to see it. Fortunately he didn't like it from the first beginning, and he played on his iPad!The way the argument "orphans" is treated, is an offense to intelligence, and harms those who don't live with their biological parents.I did not expect such superficial treatment of this topic in current movies, but I had forgotten that religion is still at work. The intelligence in the movie is very low. That low, that even the issue racism was not avoided. And I guess, it was not a mistake! The movie is designed for white christians. The main characters are white christians (even the indigenous infant king). All others are indigenous. It i surely a fact that if rats were able to develop a religion, they would depict god as a rat!

the beginning of this movie is fine about 20 mins?it is getting boring till the end. this movie is about three children finding the lost medallion .the plot is boring .i don't like these children either.there some scene is not logic how can adult fight with these children.this movie like the jackie chan the medallion but itis better than this movie. this movie was totally a joke.don't watch it u will regret it. THISMOVIES MAKES ME THINK ABOUT HOME ALONE?NOT RECOMMENDED
