God's Not Dead 2

Shot in holy high-definition, with lots of histrionic crane shots that swoop down like angels from on high and a score that batters the audience into observance, this is a film that will work best when preaching to the converted.

The almighty may not be dead, but Nietzsche is rolling in his grave.

Do they show good movies in hell?

These films have a catastrophically low regard for the intellectual abilities of the people in their target market.

From its lecture on the conservative canard that separation of church and state is a myth on down, God's Not Dead 2 is a movie for Ralph Reed's Moral Majority, with all the entangled political baggage that comes with it.

A torturous exercise in one-note proselytizing.

David A.R. White once again proves himself to be one of contemporary Christian cinema's most talented actors.

While the first God's Not Dead fed the persecution complex of evangelical Christians, God's Not Dead 2 takes that complex to Golden Corral.

Completely straw-manned...the movie spends two hours screwing around...don't pay to see it.

Nevertheless, God's Not Dead 2 cannot overcome its unintentional cheesiness, manufactured compassion and one-sided ideology that fails to allow any formidable counter punch to its theoretical and theological insights.
