Movie Details: Welcome back to Hope Springs, home not only of Hadleigh University, but also Martin Luther King Jr.
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.

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!

"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

They'll glorify the founding religion behind isis but chastise anyone with such passionate anger if they just want to preach peace and love. I can admit this doesn't deserve a 10, but it also doesn't deserve a 2, the person average as of now, so I'm doing this to "love"bomb it. Expand

It expresses the faithfulness of God, and the real hope found in the name of our savior. Atheists may not like it, but this is a very good representation of their aggression and anger towards Christians every day. It even goes as far as to prove the existence of the man named Jesus (whether or not someone is willing to believe that he is the son of God is another story). Yet, their responses to our faith are understandable, being as the existence of a God, and the right to believe in one stands in the way of their awful agendas.  

Man loves darkness, and therefore his works are evil. Light and darkness cannot truly coexist (one will always try to snuff out the other) and God's Not Dead 2 portrays this concept perfectly. The world's persecution of Christians is only going to get worse as time presses on, and one day soon we are going to be forced to make a very hard choice, very much like the main character: Grace Wesley. Do we stand with God and lose everything - maybe even our lives, that we may have life more abundantly in heaven, or do we abandon him for the fleeting, disintegrating lusts of the flesh? Do we let fear of man overthrow our hearts, or the unconditional love of God fill us with overflowing peace and rest in the face of darkness?  

This movie will remind us that we can trust God even when life gets dark. We stand together as the children of God, born again through Jesus' ultimate sacrifice for our sins and we are part of his kingdom. But we need to press in to Christ and let him present his goodness to us in all things. Ask and we will be given, knock and the doors will be opened to us. If we hunger and thirst in the spirit, we will be filled with the bread of life and given living water. Everything we will ever need (physically & spiritually) will be found through resting in God's love. We need to keep our focus on Jesus, lest we sink in the midst of a storm - for storms are coming. But God's love for us all is unmeasurable and he will never leave, nor forsake us. He is always there right beside us, and that is what I got from God's Not Dead 2.

Final Thoughts: If you are a born again believer, this movie will lift you up! I always find it amusing that whenever a great christian movie is released to the public, a parade of Atheists attack it with a storm of hateful reviews. As Christians, we don't send a renegade of nasty reviews everytime a hollywood classic comes out, simply because it doesn't agree with our bible or line up with our spiritual beliefs. It doesn't bother us because we're looking to the light-and the light completely over powers the darkness. Yet, to those living in the darkness, a movie like God's Not Dead 2 shines so brightly on them, that all they can do is try and push it back. It really just goes to show how real of an enemy we actually deal with.

Atheists don't realize it, but the devil uses them like pawns in an obvious attempt to steer believers away from receiving the messages of true Christian movies. He knows the power and effect that they could have in our hearts or in our lives. Infact, the nasty reviews I saw attatched to the first God's Not Dead was the very reason I almost never watched it at all. But a friend later recommended it to me and my parents even asked if I wanted to watch it with them, so I obliged. And afterwards I felt encouraged and desiring a deeper relationship with Jesus. It was an excellent Christian movie, and the sequel is a powerful addition.

Pay absolutely no attention to a single atheist opinion of this title. Don't let them steal the healing message that God has for you here. At the same time, if you are a christian just looking to be entertained, you may still miss the true point of God's Not Dead 2. But if you are looking for an honest word from the heart of God then I can promise that you will not find disappointment. God bless!

Let's talk about this film's aesthetic appeal, rather than its message (see elsewhere). You want CLOSEUPS? Every actor's face is so tightlyLet'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.

Conservative propaganda at its finest. I hate this movie and its predecessor, for the matter. From the getgo, all this movie does isConservative 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
