Stylish but barely mediocre overall

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

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.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Amazing the hateful reviews toward this movie. In today's godless world it's not a surprise. What the movie shows is the total Hippocrates in current school systems ( mention anything or anyone but Jesus ) I'm sure actors praying and living righteous on camera just infuriates the liberals mind, why? Because they have no clue of God or his mercy and grace. Look at the public schools today in 2018 and see what's happening yet there can be no place for Christians or love and peace and goodness. The film perfectly portrays the prejudice of government schools and a nation of non-believers who will go to any lengths to shut up the Christian community...

...movie makers show that Christians have a right to their beliefs, and should DEFINITELY fight for what they believe in. Very well written. It is nice to see some actors and actresses we do not see much of any more doing some of these Christian movies. There's been several and I hope they make more. Turning a simple statement from a public school teacher, into proving that Jesus really did exist, and how our beliefs in faith still have some weight. I doubt this would ever happen unless there were some kind of revival in America. Liberal Communist supporters have pretty much destroyed our court system so this was a refreshing look at what could possibly happen if Christians banded together to help restore America to a respectable place. So excellent job, well done. Tell the producers to make more like this!

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.

This cinematic failure is the sequel to everyone's favorite movie gods not dead. The plot is somehow worse than gods not dead, where now its a teacher who mentions Jesus LEGALLY in a class and gets in trouble with the school board. it would be a civil court but since everybody is atheist it goes to criminal court violating the simple concept of the court system. With the "evil" ACLU on the school boards side, the lawyer resorts to making the court say Christianity is the only religion. after getting people to say Jesus existed and a blind rant on how rights can't be subordinate to other rights ( the right of safety is greater than the right to make money) the good teacher wins! This movie is among the worst Pure Flix has made. And somebody thought it was a good idea to give this film another sequel! Don't watch this pile of trash
