    I very much agree with other commentary.

    The music was exceptionally distracting. The thinly veiled conspiracy accusations were laughable.

    The endless list after list after list of "we found a giant here" and "we found a giant there" and "they found a print or skull that was this big" was not only boring it was incredibly annoying!

    But the thing that really upset me is that the narrator could not be bothered to learn how to properly pronounce the words he was reading!

    For example he mispronounces: Gigantism as giantism Nephalim as Nafalum

    There are many others, but I'm not going to just make a list here. This could have been an incredible documentary if they had simply taken the time to group the skeletons by size and type, to make comparisons, both visual and verbal between current day, man and these creatures, and use modern digital recreations to enhance what they were talking about!

    I agree this is the worst documentary ever!

    I enjoy watching documentaries. What I don't enjoy is having to listen to music playing over the narrator.

    Kanzas? Arkanzas? Fascinating Content, But Distracting Mistakes

    The documentary presents compelling evidence and intriguing photos of real giants, making for an interesting watch. The visuals alone are enough to capture the viewer's attention, and the topic is undeniably fascinating. However, the constant sound effects and overpowering music were more distracting than immersive, making it hard to focus on the narration. Instead of enhancing the experience, the repetitive background noise became grating, making it difficult to stay engaged for the entire runtime.

    It's strange that the documentary used spellings like Kanzas and Arkanzas instead of Kansas and Arkansas. That kind of mistake makes it seem less credible, as if the filmmakers didn't bother to fact-check basic details. It's possible they were trying to mimic older spellings from historical documents, but without any explanation, it just comes across as sloppy or careless. If they can't get simple things like state names right, it raises doubts about how well they researched the bigger claims in the film.

    Additionally, while the documentary raises some intriguing questions, it fails to provide sufficient evidence for some of its claims. For instance, the assertion that the Smithsonian removed giant bones is mentioned but not backed up with any concrete proof, leaving that conspiracy theory feeling flimsy rather than compelling. If the filmmakers wanted to make a strong case for this, they should have included historical records, testimonies, or expert analysis. Without that, it feels like an empty claim rather than a well-supported argument.

    Another puzzling aspect was the supposed connection between sloths and giants. The film introduces the idea but never fully explains how the two are related. Were giant sloths being mistaken for giant humans? Was there some kind of shared history? The lack of clarity on this point made that section feel out of place and disjointed from the rest of the documentary's narrative. Weird.

    Overall, while the documentary offers some fascinating material and visually intriguing evidence, the excessive audio distractions and lack of thorough explanations for some claims prevent it from being a truly compelling or convincing film.

    65 minutes of my life I won't get back.

    This is the worst documentary I have ever seen. it just goes through listing the sites at which tall skeletons have been found for 65 minutes. Contributes nothing in terms of information to back up the claim the skeletons are giants and not just genetic abnormalities.

    Not a full review - couldn't stand to watch more at the 7 minute mark

    There were no real facts in this documentary. It was almost entirely partial highlights of 2nd and third hand accounts. Even those weren't presented in any complete form.

    This documentary made me long for the days of Leonard Nimoy's narration of "In Search of" it had all of that level of authenticity without any of the warnings that generally preceded the "ISO" episodes.

    Available free without ads on You-tube. No wonder, even at zero cost you're the loser if you waste your time with this.
