These movies are so melodramatic and annoying and I'm tired of them. There's like a new one every two or three months and they're all the same, heavy handed and contrived.... I'm a fan of film, my favorites include the films of Christopher Nolan, Spielberg, some Scorsese, and my favorite movies are Inception and Schindlers List. But these "Christian" movies are so poorly made and melodramatic that I can't help but criticize them... I'm sorry
shareI see what you are saying, but I do not agree that they are all the same. Some have been surprisingly good, in my opinion.
Please stop.
This was an amazing film. Acting was really good and most importantly the message was great
shareI have a low tolerance for melodrama but i enjoyed this one.
I found 'Courageous', 'Fireproof', and 'Facing The Giants' rather hard to digest at times for the corniness, but for me, the first two have their redeeming qualities.
You're a Christian who knows very little about the religion you claim to follow

Not all Christian movies are well made, but I thought this one was.

OP posted a controversial post on March 22 and has not been heard from again= troll. See below for what to do.
Found an IMDB troll? Remember:

Same here. It's discouraging.
Most of them -- nearly all, actually -- are done so badly in so many ways that you wonder who they're aimed at. They seem to be sort of a string-plucking exercise for people who already like that particular note and will respond to it, which is a real shame. It becomes mere confirmation and applause from within the church building, instead of going out and hooking into where people actually are. All that money and (to some extent) talent and expertise, all of it going into a preaching-to-the-choir kind of thing. There are elements here and there that aren't like that, sure. But mostly, that's the overall effect.
I don't know if you ever read Frank Schaeffer's lament about how Christianity has settled for bad art (including bad literature and bad music), and how unnecessary, tragic, and even outrageously intolerable this is, given the fact that through the centuries, Christianity and God-and-universe-related themes have been responsible in part or in whole for some of the greatest works of art (again, including literature and music) in the history of humanity. I think he wrote this thing in the late '70s or sometime in the '80s. He really lays into Christians for settling for -- even demanding -- the mediocre and simplistically didactic when it comes to art.
