Bardlerx Strictly average movie

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Deanna 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.

smooth_op_85 So, I stumbled upon a video talking about why Christian movies suck or at least are bad and it mentioned this film. I literally watched this and thought to myself: This would never have happened, just a warning to be careful about the way you use words because people can misconstrue what you say Grace is a HS teacher who answers a question from a student about God while they're learning about MLK, Gandhi and nonviolent struggle. THAT IS IT, that is the WHOLE PREMISE OF THE FILM! So, I hated this film mostly because of the fact that this film is not realistic. I couldn't find one single instance of the events of the film ever happening in real life. Also, the cases it cites at the end of the film like the first, have NO APPLICABLE CASES to the movieI saw this before I watched Part 1 but I'm going to watch IT and 3. Personally I feel if you need a movie to prove God's Not Dead then you need to ask yourself a few questions.

jennifermoroney Until today I hadn't heard of the God's Not Dead films and I went into this hoping for a reasonably intelligent debate on the merits and flaws in the concept of religious belief.I was massively disappointed, confronted instead with a stereotypical slimy villain and his smirking cohorts, every one of them casting smug looks at Melissa Joan Hart's character, who spends most of her time looking like a kicked puppy.The film paints atheists as angry anti-religion warriors with a personal vendetta to destroy faith, while Christians are portrayed as innocent victims of the evil non-believers.This plays out like an oversimplified, highly biased fairy tale you might tell children about the devil hiding under their bed if they don't say their prayers every night.It's absurd, blatant Christian propaganda and should be considered an insult to believers and nonbelievers alike.

MisterWhiplash Clarissa didn't explain it all. Or if she did, I must have missed it this time. Frankly, Clarissa's pet alligator Elvis could've made a more coherent thing.Oh hey, c'mon, clearly these Christians in America are so persecuted! Thats why there are thousands of them at the end/at that concert yelling God's Not Dead. Makes sense, don't it? It clearly took a lot for a 2016 movie to be more offensive, idiotic, wrong-headed, and not comprehending on the most rudimentary of levels how ANYTHING WORKS than Collateral Beauty... This went the distance. God's Not Dead 2 is at best pathetic and confused about the message it wants to convey. At worst, it paints a dangerous picture about how people, who may be ignorant or not know any better, may/will perceive how things work like the *constitution of the United States* and the courts and is not at ALL how it works. Ray Wise and Ernie Hudson, please tell me you donated your salaries to the ACLU and/or Planned Parenthood, otherwise what the in the unholy (Bleep) are you DOING in this? Does Leland Palmer have more Garmonbozia he owes to the Black Lodge??This should anger reasonable-minded Christians as if not more than agnostics or atheists or like you know ANY SINGLE OTHER RELIGION - this makes you look like insecure maniacs. Aside from this - like the first one didn't understand how things like college works - it uses its position to constantly play the victim card. I am (NOT) sorry, but the fact that you can pull together millions of dollars (even if it's only a million, since this is so cheaply made aa these all are) to make something like a motion picture with actors and a crew is proof enough that you are not in a minority position. You just aren't.Bleep times a hundred. Even the production quality makes made-for- Hallmark pap look like Alfonso Cuaron. I don't have the energy to write a longer review for now...Wait, I'm not done, one last thing - I'm an English teacher at a community college where the student populous is largely if not all Christian. I've taught Letter From a Birmingham Jail many times. Shame on this bland hunk of nightmare fuel for bringing that into this propo.

Bonnie O'Connor I've said before that I like the first God's Not Dead. Sadly, I don't think the sequel did as well as the first movie. I admire them trying to tackle the issue of whether or not talking about Jesus as a historical figure (not as a religious figure) is okay in a school; it's legitimately a tough issue. However, where the first one was able to talk about whether or not God was dead or not, this one feels pointless in many ways.1) First of all, the title is called God's Not Dead 2, and the plot doesn't really deal with that situation. It feels like an excuse to promote the Newsboys. Even the returning cast members add little to nothing to the plot, or really help the main character that much. One of them has to be on the jury, but then he's too sick to help so someone new has to step in. What was the purpose of any of them being in there? Also, with it being called "God's Not Dead 2" it doesn't deal with whether or not He's really dead; it's only bringing up whether or not Jesus should be mentioned in class or not. Why couldn't it be called "God is Good" since they use that phrase a lot more than they do "God's Not Dead". 2) Most of the Atheists: I'm a Christian, and even I know Atheists don't talk like Disney villains. Apart from the lawyer helping the main character (he was an interesting character), all the other Atheists are portrayed as cold, cruel, heartless, and just looking to destroy God's name in court and literally say that it will be the final proof "that God is dead." That was not the goal of the court; the goal was to discuss whether or not Jesus should be mentioned as a historical figure, this has nothing to do with God being dead or not. It really felt like the screen writer did not know how Atheists think and wanted the audience to only sympathize with the main character. Okay, but if we have to sympathize with her, don't make real people act like cartoon bad guys; that's part of good story telling. I still really admire the movie's attempt to debate whether or not Jesus should be talked about at school as a historical figure, because it is a tough issue. Even if you don't think Jesus was the Son of God, He is classified in the history books as a rabbi who taught love in a dark time and paid for it. However, I really wish this movie did not have two dimensional villains or pointlessly use the same title as last time. In terms of Christian films, this was definitely one of the weaker ones, and I hope in the future they can obtain better writers.
