Critics Consensus

Every bit the proselytizing lecture promised by its title, God's Not Dead 2 preaches ham-fistedly to its paranoid conservative choir.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

I thought the courtroom scene was alright. Glad to see movies glorifying our lord and savior are still being made!

The story was fine but the case was not something very common which many people would not relate to

It’s not surprising that the ungodly critics trashed this film, but for those of us who are believers, this film is intensely satisfying, Unlike its prequel, this film addresses the evidence of God’s existence and the recalcitrance of those who don’t believe. Highly recommend.

The movie definitely shows what it's like to be a Christian in modern day America. Oh, no sex or profanity? That explains the low critical score.
