    Made for a Christian audience, unfortunately

    I'm a Christian viewer and sorry to say that Strobel's film version of 'The Case For Christ' will be barely watchable for anyone not already dabbling with Christian theology. Antagonists to faith will find none of the featured historical "experts" trustworthy or convincing, given that every face appears linked to a seminary or church. Could they really not find any Atheist professionals who would both agree on these historical points AND offer their likenesses to the film? Sad either way...

    Strobel's own dramatic journey seems woefully underplayed and underutilized as well. Rather than taking us through the hard questions and arguments in his own atheist checklist, he simply splashes around in the theological shallow end -- the serious parties (intellectuals and science- types) won't find his History Lite bold or dedicated enough at all.

    A nice idea based on an effective book, but the movie's just too much a pep rally. I would be far more interested to see this revised for a strictly irreligious audience.

    Honest answers to honest questions

    I have not read the book, although I had heard of it.

    This is a documentary about one man's search for answers to the major questions in life : Is there a God; is Jesus for real; is Christianity true.

    Strobel asks honest questions and lined up quite a few of the top Biblical and historical scholars to find his answers. He was also honest enough to go wherever the evidence led. That is a far cry from those who already have their mind made up and just seek to get support for their position.

    There were some hard questions asked and some very good answers given. If the book is anything like the documentary, it will be well worth reading.

    Propaganda masquerading as a documentary

    I watched this "documentary" last night with my friend Tom. I spent most of the time grunting in painful disbelief, having "wha...?"s dragged out of me, and bursting out laughing. Mostly it just made me angry because the "research" that went into this can hardly be called such. It is criminally lazy, one-sided, and even the side they present isn't presented well. I've had more convincing conversations with Christian friends who aren't so-called "experts". The people in this film bring up questions only to gloss over them. At certain points, they even unintentionally manage to make the argument AGAINST Christ. Even many of the Christians who reviewed this on Netflix think it is terrible (it got an overall 1.5 - out of 5 - star rating). I like the first Netflix review, by lostboy, a self-proclaimed Christian, who gives the film an amazing 3 pity stars, and then proceeds to take the film apart (and really does a better job of it than I ever could). Another review, by a non-Christian, gives it 4 (?!?!?) stars and then trashes the one-sided aspects and lack of objectivity. I can't imagine this film even convincing Christians experiencing a crisis of faith. It is nothing but amazingly poorly executed propaganda. It's too bad, too, because it would be fascinating to see a film about an actual atheist (and this guy couldn't convince us that he had ever been one) who did actual research, and got ALL viewpoints, and was converted. That would be amazing. This was crap. I wish I'd been drinking, but then I would have been laughing so hard, we never would have finished it. One star, but only because I can't give it fewer. How on earth does this film have a 7 star IMDb rating?

    brilliantly done

    Lee Strobel's book is considered to be a masterpiece by one and all. acclaimed authors like Ravi Zacharaias and others have given it an APOLOGETICS TOOL status. now thats something big for a book. the documentary or the video doesn't disappoint. it sounds like a boring thing but trust me its sharp, smart and intelligent. the matter is good and something that other books haven't explored or dwelled with. visually the documentary is brilliant. its appealing and the locales and pictures just add to the excellent material. the camera work though simple, adds that extra bit to the documentary. its informative and explores other areas besides just a Christian's perspective of Christ. the screenplay is fast and gritty and keeps you hooked on to the on goings. great stuff, can be viewed again and again. and above all it does what it set out to do - be a tool for evangelism

    GOOD ... But My "DE-MAN-SPLAINING CHRISTIANITY WILL BE MUCH BETTER!

    Why? Because as informative as all the male scholars were, why no women? (And these were the best you could find? Thanks for no RC priests though, truly!) Just because all the scriptures were written by Jewish men, not to mention just for Jewish men, in the beginning? Which is where Christianity started to go wrong; about 5 minutes after Jesus ascended into heaven. The Jewish men were unhappy with God's 'only' 10 laws, so they had to make a bunch more. But to have been told that now they only had 2?! Oh, horrors! Enter organized religion, hypocrisy, and corruption.

    Doesn't it matter that most 'eyewittnesses', especially any of the original 12 or 70, middle-aged in 33 a.d. Roman life expectancy was 40 tops. So how could they have been original source writers? Even John is a stretch. (BTW, the Book of Revelation is about the fall of ROME. That's all they were concerned about-why do you think Jesus was murdered via politically? Paul really shouldn't be trusted as he is mainly Christianity's 'marketing man'. An unbeliever should look to Flavius Josephus, et al for true history and if one follows Jesus and believes HE IS THE RISEN LORD, faith.

    48 is really gr8!!! Blessed Easter 2023.
