Summary: Welcome back to Hope Springs, home not only of Hadleigh University, but also Martin Luther King Jr. High School, where beloved teacher Grace Wesley (Melissa Joan Hart) helps students understand and enjoy history. Her love of teaching, her love for her students, and her love of life all come from the same place: her love of Christ. So whenWelcome back to Hope Springs, home not only of Hadleigh University, but also Martin Luther King Jr. High School, where beloved teacher Grace Wesley (Melissa Joan Hart) helps students understand and enjoy history. Her love of teaching, her love for her students, and her love of life all come from the same place: her love of Christ. So when Brooke, a hurting student grieving the loss of her brother, reaches out to Grace, their coffee-shop conversation naturally leads to Grace sharing the hope she finds in Christ. When Brooke later asks an honest question about Jesus in the classroom, Grace’s reasoned response lands her in big trouble—almost before she even finishes giving her answer. With the principal and superintendent joining forces with a zealous civil liberties group, Grace faces an epic court case that could cost her the career she loves and expel God from the classroom—and the public square—once and for all!… Expand

While the actors do a yeoman’s job in presenting their characters with aplomb (especially Jesse Metcalfe, as Wesley’s lawyer), the entire film simply comes off as a two-hour, jazzed-up movie version of a sermon. Read full review

Its pulls back from the original film’s cruelty and comeuppances for non-believers, yet its non-Christian characters are still parodies of human evil: greedy, bitter, violent, and out to prove that “God is dead.” Read full review

In a righteous world, the better-acted, upbeat and faith-affirming “Miracles from Heaven” would eat this angry tirade for lunch. Read full review

The first film pandered to a heavy persecution complex; this installment’s relatively subtler, but there are dog whistles aplenty. Read full review

God’s Not Dead 2 is a much better movie than God’s Not Dead, but that’s a bit like saying a glass of milk left on the table hasn’t curdled and is merely sour. Read full review

Dramatically speaking, God’s Not Dead 2 operates at the level of your average middle-school play – except with far greater levels of upside-down logic and bald-faced intolerance for anyone not enraptured by the New Testament. Read full review

In a world where liberal atheists will stop at nothing to destroy the rights of innocent Christians, only one Nickelodeon sitcom star can show an African-American judge what happens when kids start reading Nietzsche. The continuation of Kevin Sorbo's epic saga. God's Not Dead II: Not Deadder.

This was really a great movie. Love the twist at the end. The movie present legal arguments for it cause, moving heartfelt storyline, historical facts, and end game agenda of the rebellion.

You will see historical questions from student in a public education classroom with a historical answer that leads into the meat of the movie. As legal action is being taken against people all across the nation for their faith even when no crime has been committed this movie reflects that action to you the viewer.

Actor here are well known for the genre and perform excellent as we expect.

Don't leave when you think the movie is over, God's Not Dead 3 might be in the making. By the end of the your singing with the movie. But the comes the post credit scene.… Expand

Let's talk about this film's aesthetic appeal, rather than its message (see elsewhere). You want CLOSEUPS? Every actor's face is so tightly framed, it's exhausting to watch. Sheesh! At least 3/4 of the movie is facial closeups.

Overall, a harsh, angry tone pervaded the film. I walked out of the theater feeling ready to rip **** apart, rather than feeling blessed and filled with the Holy Spirit (I think 2015's War Room did better on that account). I agree with Consequence of Sound reviewer who wrote that the scene in the church by the Martin character playing Nearer My God to Thee was the most hearfelt true scene (see this: http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/04/film-review-gods-not-dead-2/

Overall, a weird film that will likely anger atheists even more, and won't even score points with Christians, I reckon.… Expand

How this trash after the first waste not as they had the courage to make a sequel. The first film does not bring arguments, only discriminates against atheists.

Conservative propaganda at its finest. I hate this movie and its predecessor, for the matter. From the getgo, all this movie does is villainize atheism and the other side in order to push its agenda, the problem with court based movies is that more often that not, people watch court basedConservative propaganda at its finest. I hate this movie and its predecessor, for the matter. From the getgo, all this movie does is villainize atheism and the other side in order to push its agenda, the problem with court based movies is that more often that not, people watch court based movies to see 2 sides clashing equally when in this movie, its clearly more one sided in its arguments. One guy even goes as far to say, "were at war," which spreads the "us vs them mentality and I just hate that. If jesus were real, he wouldn't want atheists or non-believers out to be bad by using these fear mongering tactics, its absolutly ridiculous to make the assumption that Jesus Christ, a man who dined with thieves and prostitutes would see them that way if they didn't see things the way he saw them. I'm sorry, regardless of your beliefs this movie is an absolutely ridiculous right-wing propaganda piece that in no way shows the teachings of Jesus Christ.… Expand
