I enjoyed this film but as a born-again Christian I couldn't help but wonder how many might watch this movie and ask "Could Jesus, in fact, come back the way he does in this film?" The answer is a resounding "NO" "Why?" you might ask "Because my bible tells me differently" would be my answer. I read through these reviews and I realize in the context of the film - its not an "official" return to earth - but the theological misdirect of this film though an entertaining twist, is still of concern to me. My name is Joshua and I would have enjoyed sharing this with Christian singles at my church but cannot do so because entertaining and moving as the film was...its simply not TRUE!

I believe the movie has the potential to transform a hardened heart but theologically its muted, muddy and misleading. Jesus will return and it may surprise us how he does it - but it will be just as described in our Bible - not as interpreted by a well-meaning priestly author or the film director he sold the book rights to. Blessings!

Woody Allen films are usually a treat. This one I watched in a darkened theater all by myself and I walked out. It was just not funny, not entertaining and a total waste of film. I kept wondering if those gathered to star in this boring movie hoped they might win an oscar or something. Woody is blind in the story at one point and I have read read reviews where they make light of this. Woody, retire gracefully now. You just dont make good movies anymore. I don't think you "see" this and you have tripped up horribly here. I honestly cant say one good thing about this film except that it was brightly lit, more so than any of your other films, most of which I've loved.

I was excited to go and see this film. I dont get out to the movies that much anymore. I plunked down my 9 dollars and boy was I disappointed in this awful drek! Couldnt they have at least tried to have a plot?!! Every silly superhero story seems to have the same awful plot these days and they sacrifice an actual story to lame cgi. I didn't buy the way spidey spun about town at all and the Kirsten Dunst stuff was just plain pointless. For a brief moment it looked like the spidey and his uncle scene might actually go someplace and then we have the typical plot development (I wont give it away...but its easily guessed!). I like Toby Mcquire and have seen every single one of his films. He doesnt really do much acting in this movie and well...it just has no bite at all. I think Toby should go on to make better films like he was doing and squash this bug.
