Description

A professor challenges all of his students to question their resolution of faith. It dares to do the unthinkable and in doing so challenges many stereotypes. 
Original Review:
I see both sides of the argument in "God's not dead". I think that Josh (Shane Harper) presented his facts in an open and clear way. Though in a class of approximately 80 students (given by him in the movie)... It is difficult to believe that he was the lone one who refused to write "God's not dead" and sign the paper. The other storylines in the movie, I felt were a distraction. The boy from PRC (Peoples Republic of China) and the Muslim girl didn't give enough of their stories to understand. What happened to the professor was a very unsatisfactory ending, it happened so abruptly that we weren't able to hear in his own words what he was going to share with the woman he loved. The Duck Dynasty portion seemed detached and almost unrelated to the movie, the only connection was the reporter. Her (the reporter) story was also very anticlimactic. Even after she saw the band, we were left hanging as to where her heart was. I enjoyed the movie but I was disappointed at the same time. If the movie had stayed more focused on Josh/Professor with the pastor's story included... I feel it would have been a more conclusive story.
Transcription:
Hello everybody and welcome back. It is once again me your favorite deputy from movie Deputy Podcasts bringing to you that God's Not Dead Review. There's actually gonna be four movies in this series that we're gonna cover over the next four days. So obviously today, tomorrow, and the next couple days after that. So we're gonna be good to go. Before we get started in this one, I want you to go ahead and if you have a chance, pause this and go check out the podcast on our, just our Plain Movie Deputy channel about controversies and the creation of Movie Deputy because we're actually gonna, God's Not Dead was actually a pivotal movie in the creation of Movie Deputy. With that podcast, you will actually hear my first, uh, quote unquote or unquote review that I put on Facebook of the This God's Not Dead movie. Now I'm going to be reading you my original 300 words or last review that I had on movie deputy.com, or technically I still have, but will soon be had on that.  But you'll, you might think that they sound almost the same, but listen carefully because they truly are different on the two reviews on that. It really kind of shows how much I've grown and everything like that as a critic and even my score level. My original first Facebook post that I wrote, the God's Not Dead Review on, I actually cave it. This was before I'd created my rating system or anything like that. And so I gave the original God's Not Dead a one thumbs up cause I couldn't give it a two thumbs up by any means and there was no such thing as a no thumbs up. And I actually, on a personal level, I only gave it a two. So even back then, I kind of calculated based on a 10 point system or 10 star system, I personally gave the movie a two professionally as movie deputy.  Once I created a deputy and created my ranking system that I still use to this day, I gave it a four out of 10. Now you'll kind of understand why won't I get a little bit more into this. It's basically about a story or here, let me just get into the, what I wrote on my review. Like I said on the website first, I see both sides of the argument and God's Not Dead. I think that Josh played by Shane Harper presented his facts in an open and clear way. Though in a class of approximately 80 students given by him in the movie, it is difficult to believe that he was the lone one who refused to write God's Not Dead and Sign the paper. The other storylines in the movie I felt were a distraction. The boy from the people of Republic of China and the Muslim girl didn't give enough of their stories to fully understand what happened to the professor was a very unsatisf
