Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
ktteraji A very entertaining scripted show. it feels very scripted because the contestants have a side interview with a comment on things that happens as it happens. it feels fake. it's actually very irritating when a voice over repeats the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again. the downfall of a credible show. Forged in fire is fake but non the less still very entertaining. i would like to see Bushcraft knives. all the challenges involve making extremely limited useless knives in the real world. every knife requirement at the start of every show involves weapons and not hunting or camping knives.
mauro volvox Never miss an episode.It is a great show that demonstrates that sweat and hard work is still the best way to accomplish anything.Besides, the winners are chosen based on the merit of their work and craftsmanship, as it should be, right?As a bonus, we always learn something new. Millenials could learn a thing or two from "Forged in Fire"...
lyletrush Forged in Fire gives us an overall interesting insight into the ancient craft of blacksmithing. I would rate this 10 out of 10 on the educational scale and 5 out of 10 in the quality department. The reason quality's lacking is due to the judging process. I noticed too many variables when testing blades that lead to pore judgment calls. It would be great to see blades coming out of this show that demonstrate an equality between design and function. This could be achieved in the judging process by scoring 50% function and 50% design. They need to allow more then 3-4 hours and more breaks so the guy's aren't on the edge of passing out! I really enjoy watching this show and hope they keep coming out with programs in this genre.
ladiesbane This is NOT one of those craft competition shows that wastes time on manufactured drama and tiresome sob stories. They make the craft itself the focus, and the competitors' skills and choices keep it interesting.There is a different challenge each episode, with, four contestants and three elimination rounds. The first round: forge raw metal into a blade meeting specific size requirements. The second round: add a handle and finish the blade. The results are tested head-to-head. In the final leg, the two remaining contestants are presented with a specific type of blade and asked to make their best version of it over three days at their home forges.Seeing the different forges and processes is interesting, but they don't waste time on back stories, family tragedies, false alliances, or snarky comments. The judges show respect for the good decisions, acknowledge costly choices, and don't get too personal. They focus entirely on the blademaking. Making the craft the focus is a refreshing change, and other shows should follow their format. Anyone who enjoys skilled crafting might enjoy this show.
