God's Not Dead is a hateful, bitter and such a unpleasant film. Its a film that is a hate letter to all those who dont have the same views as the filmmakers. In other words its a hate letter to atheists and Muslims. The film has several story lines that are connected. The main plot is about a college freshman named Josh Wheaton who enrolls in a philosophy class and is told to write by Professor Radisson that God does not exist on a sheet of paper. Granted this would not happen in real life because Professor Radisson would be fired. Radisson challenges Josh to a series of debates that just waste all the students time to prove that God exists. The worst point comes in the last debate when Josh says there is no reason to be moral if there is no God. So Josh is a sociopath? If Josh did not have his faith he would do horrible things? That right there makes Josh a very unlikable character. Other plots involve Professor Radissons girlfriend who he insults and makes her feel low at a party full of atheists. The atheists in this film are all portrayed as stereotypes who are all very unpleasant. Another has a forighen student arguing with his father on the existence of God. Another involves a young woman who is a liberal atheist who has cancer. She is later dumped on the spot by her lawyer boyfriend but finds faith but a band called The News Boys who are heavily advertised in the film. Another plot involves two pastors trying to get to an amusement park and another involves the lawyer and Radissons girlfriends mom who has dementia. Now the last plot involves a girl who is supposed to be a Muslim (who only wears a hijab and nothing else) and her strict father who abuses her and throws her out of the house when he finds out she is really a Christian. Its a crazy scene. Its trying to show Muslims as bad even though this kinda thing happens in all religions. The film goes on through a series of debates with Josh and Radisson. Its really just scenes of preachy straw men arguments that ends up with the students takes the side of Josh. It all ends up at a Newsboys concert in which a character gets run over and dies but since he repented before he died one of the pastors says its a good day right after he watched a guy die right in front of him! On top of everything else the film ends stating court cases were this film was based. They were mostly just unpopular pinions given by students and not persecution by religion. Gods Not Dead is a horrible film. The film is a mess. A very mean spirited mess of hate. Its the worst movie I have ever seen because of that.
1/10

I gave it a 1/10 too, though it could've been a 0. Will you watch the sequels? I hope you speak Spanish, because this is arguably the best review ever made about this movie:

This sounds as if it must have been written by the same computer program that spits out the Jack Chick tracts.

Its about as awful as the first but the first film was a little more terrible. I have not seen the third one. I have heard that Part 3 is not as bitter as the first two.

I have seen a good amount of their films. I know they will not be any good but I have an interest in religion and faith so thats why I check these movies out. The most decent one I seen is Hope Bridge and that I only gave a 3/10.

Its boring as hell but at least the message is to help out those in need.

Even the very name, God's Not Dead, didn't do much for me. Sometimes, you can tell just how bad a movie will be, when the producers cannot even come up with a good title.

Im not at all religious so I know this film was not made for me but my parents are very devout Christians and they did not like it either. Its almost kinda nice how Christians and atheists can come together and hate a terrible film.

Some of the more classic ones are excellent choices for Christian film. Eg: A Man for all Seasons, starring Paul Scofield as St. Thomas More.

I've heard about this movie, but I've never seen it. I know it got lambasted on YouTube a lot and still does.
