Sequels are the Achilles heel of most movie lovers. Sure the viewer gets to experience the same feeling they had when they watched the first movie, but it almost always never lives up to the potential. God's Not Dead 2 never has that problem because you simply can't get any worse than its first film God's Not Dead. GND2 takes everything that was hated in it from the first film and puts it right back in a second time around. Atheists are viewed as rude, demanding, and willing to go to great links to take away Christians religious freedoms. Christians are seen as innocent, content, and victims of the violent belief that is Atheism. Odds are if you are going into this movie you either wanted to see this train wreck of a film for yourself or being forced to go with your parents/overly-religious friends. If the later is this case try very hard to fight the urge to scream at the movie and run out of the theater because, trust me, it will happen. Overall the plot is incoherent, the characters bland and lifeless, and the overall theme of the movie is a slap right in the face to anyone who doesn't believe in god. You've been warned 1/10

BvS is a perfect example of a movie being over hyped to being something greater than it actually is. Going into the theater I excepted this movie to be about Batman vs Superman, however, I have never been more wrong. Throughout the entirety of its run time, BvS just can't seem to get the stone rolling. Pacing is a huge problem in this movie. At times it was painstakingly slow, especially the end after the climatic fight scene. Dialogue is also another key problem with this movie. The way some of the characters speak in this movie is just plain annoying and even weird at parts. This is mainly do to Lex Luthor who, arguably, is the second biggest problem with the film. In order for a villain to be a "good" villain, the viewer needs to have some sort of resentment or fear of them. Lex is neither of these and instead he is just plain annoying. By far the biggest issue I had with this movie was the climax. The whole concept was that Batman and Superman were going to go at it throughout a good portion of the film. But when the fight finally does happen it lasts a solid 5 minutes and then never happens again. The fight scene is visually impressive but not much really happens during it. Overall, I felt this film was more of a forced prequel about the formation of the Justice League then a separate film about Batman and Superman. It is visually impressive film with some of the best CGI done to date. But what it has in visuals is overshadowed by its flaws. BvS could have been so much more and I can't remember the last time I have been this mad at a film for being mediocre. Just don't go into the movie with high hopes and you should at least enjoy parts of the film. 5/10
