God's Not Dead: We the People

What is mind boggling is that someone used the phrase unironically to praise this movie. The first film in this series was actually okay and a bit above average for a christian film. Yes, it had plenty of straw men and other problems but by xtian film standards it wasn't bad. Each subsequent film in this franchise has been worse than the previous one. This film has many, many, flaws. It wallows in its persecution fantasy. But the worst sin it makes is actually making the case that xtian home schooling deserves more scrutiny and regulation. The exact opposite of the point it intended to make. To really appreciate how awful this film is you need to listen to the review by the "God Awful Movies" podcast team.

"The future of religious freedom in our country" is the endless war-cry from Xtians who have decided that the USA is aTHEIR country, and that (a) there should be no separation of Church and State, (b) God actually exists, (c) it's our (i.e. Xtian) god, not some other deity, (d) making films with mostly erroneously-represented court cases in the end credits give credence to the persecution complex. Seriously: take the time to check the "evidence" to look up and READ through the actual court cases in the credits, and you will see that the persecution isn't there. Oh, but the film producers want you to believe that this is evidence of oppression. And that's the history of all religions: scant evidence if any, indignation leading to feelings of oppression, a declaration to take back something which was God-promised, and creating a them-vs-us scenario. What shameful trickery and deceit these film makers and actors are producing.

TL:DR: If you want a movie that is easy to forget, you will like it. If you want a movie that respectfully and philosophically discusses Christianity, religion in general and provides any intelligent and thoughtful perspectives, move on. Go and watch "Life of Pi", this is a movie that feels very respectful, interesting, critical and eye opening towards believe.

I really do not hate this movie. It is as mediocre as you can imagine it. It is not bad if any aspect is analyzed on its own.

The problem is the story and the plot. There is so much unnecessary filler, that it is hard to pay attention to those aspects. I also think that some scenes where only used to provoke an emotion that has nothing to do with the movie? Very weird.

There was also very little logic to anything that was going on. Some argumentations they used for anything were straight up from... Jupiter? Very little contact to reality.

I do believe that nothing was used respectful, was research or came from a philosophical perspective. No depth, just surface level... presentation? Discussion? I do not even know what this movie was trying to go for.

I would be VERY surprised if any Christian, Atheist, Liberal of whatever people use to put them in to some kind of groups, do actually have any feelings 1 hour after watching this movie. It is that forgettable.

Firstly, believe or don't, I don't care. You do you.

The main character just comes off as menacingly weird and phoney, the other actors are worse - if that is even possible.

The story is trite, disorganized, and overdone. It treats it's audience like idiots, spoon feeding every limping plot point.

Somehow manages to be painfully boring and super creepy at the same time.

Basically the Christan fast and furious movies tbt Story is ok, acting kills it.

Could have been good.

As somebody who works in Christan radio and has no choice but to see these.. man it felt like pure rhetoric. Honestly I compare a lot of Christian movies to the movies Hitler was putting out in the peak of his rule.

Sad. I know, too far? Well please go on YouTube and find the dubs of those movies and decide for yourself.
