ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Kirpianuscus first, for the theme, not real known out of Mexico frontiers. for the performances. and for the inspired way to define the roots of this movement for the protection of Church. it is a large fresco, dramatic, realistic, inspiring. because it gives not only portraits of martyrs - the torture against Saint Jose Sanchez del Rio is one of remarkable episodes - but one of profound portraits about the brutality of a regime against its citizens. a film like remember. about faith and its relevance in personal life. about victories and theirs sacrifices.. about hope. and, sure, about resistance for support a noble cause.
miranda5683 For Greater Glory was a great movie. The movie trailer made it look as boring as mess, and the reviews on here made me not even want to go to the theater let alone park in the parking lot. There were some slow parts of the movie but that was rare. The movie was the total opposite of a History lesson or Hot air and I loved it and this is coming from a 16 year old girl. To tell you the truth I cried once during the movie, but in order to find out why, you have to see the movie for yourself. Forget these reviews about how crappy and stupid it is. It's great, but only you can be the judge of that because everyone has their own preferences. In my opinion, you should see this great and inspiring movie.
marylousanchez Good actors but not true. The cristeros were manipulated by the Catholic church to help them keep the power in political decisions and the Government was tired of the religion being involved in many important political and economical decisions, so The Catholic Church and the Government are very equal in how detrimental have been in the life of that great country, they both used the population of Mexico to solve their differences. It is very sad that the manipulation that for hundreds of years the Catholic religion has had over the people of Mexico is glorified in this cheese movie. There are two sides to every story and both sides are horrible, in this case; but at least the separation of church and state in Mexico helped that one of the tyrants was out of the political decisions of the country. Mexico has been consumed by the fear and guilt that the Catholic Church imposed over its good people for so long and the corrupt government has been sucking the life of the amazing people of that country for so many years as well. There is still a lot of religious power ( fear) over the Mexican and Latin-American people, as corrupt and heartless is the Catholic church as are the Governments that have bled all those countries for such long time. and all done in the name of GOD :-)
I Feito With a meta-critic rating of 35 and a user score of 72 you can assure that there is something fishy going on with the ratings of this movie.This movie, if it can even be called one, is actually a two hour plus piece of propaganda from the religious right (yes, we have one in Mexico) to try to justify the actions of a group of people who started refusing state provided secular education and was handled very poorly by the government.Of course the movie never mentions the numbers of teachers that were assassinated by the cristeros, which started the reaction by Calles' government.Not worth wasting your time on it.
