God's Not Dead 2 (2016)

The fact that this movie was released on April Fools Day is all the proof you need that this movie is just a joke

Clarissa didn't explain it all. Or if she did, I must have missed it this time. Frankly, Clarissa's pet alligator Elvis could've made a more coherent thing.Oh hey, c'mon, clearly these Christians in America are so persecuted! Thats why there are thousands of them at the end/at that concert yelling God's Not Dead. Makes sense, don't it? It clearly took a lot for a 2016 movie to be more offensive, idiotic, wrong-headed, and not comprehending on the most rudimentary of levels how ANYTHING WORKS than Collateral Beauty... This went the distance. God's Not Dead 2 is at best pathetic and confused about the message it wants to convey. At worst, it paints a dangerous picture about how people, who may be ignorant or not know any better, may/will perceive how things work like the *constitution of the United States* and the courts and is not at ALL how it works. Ray Wise and Ernie Hudson, please tell me you donated your salaries to the ACLU and/or Planned Parenthood, otherwise what the in the unholy (Bleep) are you DOING in this? Does Leland Palmer have more Garmonbozia he owes to the Black Lodge??This should anger reasonable-minded Christians as if not more than agnostics or atheists or like you know ANY SINGLE OTHER RELIGION - this makes you look like insecure maniacs. Aside from this - like the first one didn't understand how things like college works - it uses its position to constantly play the victim card. I am (NOT) sorry, but the fact that you can pull together millions of dollars (even if it's only a million, since this is so cheaply made aa these all are) to make something like a motion picture with actors and a crew is proof enough that you are not in a minority position. You just aren't.Bleep times a hundred. Even the production quality makes made-for- Hallmark pap look like Alfonso Cuaron. I don't have the energy to write a longer review for now...Wait, I'm not done, one last thing - I'm an English teacher at a community college where the student populous is largely if not all Christian. I've taught Letter From a Birmingham Jail many times. Shame on this bland hunk of nightmare fuel for bringing that into this propo.

This cinematic failure is the sequel to everyone's favorite movie gods not dead. The plot is somehow worse than gods not dead, where now its a teacher who mentions Jesus LEGALLY in a class and gets in trouble with the school board. it would be a civil court but since everybody is atheist it goes to criminal court violating the simple concept of the court system. With the "evil" ACLU on the school boards side, the lawyer resorts to making the court say Christianity is the only religion. after getting people to say Jesus existed and a blind rant on how rights can't be subordinate to other rights ( the right of safety is greater than the right to make money) the good teacher wins! This movie is among the worst Pure Flix has made. And somebody thought it was a good idea to give this film another sequel! Don't watch this pile of trash

God's Not Dead 2 is a great movie. Well acted and written, it is engaging and a fun watch with plenty of surprises. I'm not one who gets excited about Christian movies, but this movie is worth being enthusiastic about! Grace, the school teacher, and her union-appointed lawyer fresh out of school,Tom, must face the challenge of defending Grace's honest response to a student's question. Other smaller story lines provide additional interest. Although I enjoyed the first movie, the second is quite a bit more interesting. In addition to being thought provoking, it is gripping. I'm hoping to see Tom Endler, played by Jesse Metcalfe, in the next movie.
