If you think "God's Not Dead" is good then here are a few reasons why you're wrong. I just want to note that if you're Christian and you agree with everything this movie says then good for you but I won't praise a movie just for promoting Christianity. My review/take isn't intended to insult Christianity or any religious beliefs for that matter but it's just me taking a critical look at this film for what it really is. This isn't a movie, it's religious propaganda. No matter what my personal beliefs are, making a 2-hour movie meant to brainwash the audience is insulting. Christians deserve a better movie than this. This is 100% just pandering to Christians, insulting to Muslims, and honestly, I think this 'movie' was made to change the mind of atheists which if they saw this; they'd laugh. It'd be more interesting if this 'movie' were to tackle complicated issues with Christianity like homosexuality or abortion but it doesn't. Or if that example is too controversial for a movie then they could've at least shown a complicated character with mixed emotions on what to feel about religion then maybe the atheists watching this could latch onto that character and go through what that character goes through BUT NO. Which leads me to my next point. The one atheist in this movie is cruel, narcissistic and depressed while everyone else that is religious is happy. The movie fails to address the fact that the bad guy (the atheist) is bad because of his dark past. -Not all atheists are trying to shove an agenda down your throat (unlike this propaganda) and this might shock the makers of this movie but there are atheists out there that are genuinely good people. The 'movie' isn't trying to be smart, the movie isn't raising any questions but the movie is TELLING you how to feel. The script is bad, the editing is bad, the characters are bad. Oh, and the acting is so bad that I laughed at parts that were supposed to be dramatic. The only plot line that I liked was with the Muslim girl but even that is barely developed and the execution is TERRIBLE.
