I Believe

It kind of givea false sence of God and his word. It does say corect biblical things. But can give off the wrong message.

This movie was poorly acted, unrealistic in all things I'm not talking about the miracles. A few examples: a little boy who roams the city alone, the things they study in school/homework, then throw in the poor acting with the first miracle I was like really???? I just wanted to watch a heartfelt movie that was appropriate for kids to watch, but this did not hold my interest, even my kids aged 10 and 13 didn't think much of it.

Accidentally started watching on YouTube. I'm a believer, but find most Christian movies are not very well done. Being a long time foreign film watcher and having seen so many well acted movies I am spoiled. But now I am trying to get away from the darkness and R ratings. The acting in this is often wooden, and the script is not that great. But the little boy, even though he is not a great actor, brings a sweetness to the film. And Wilfred Brimley as the laid back down to earth pastor is endearing, as is the bookstore owner. It is simplistic and non-believers will probably laugh but I liked it.

I have watched this beautiful film twice. It is very powerful and uplifting. The young boy who plays the lead is wonderful. His character's innocence and pure faith in God is so lovely. In spite of an unbelieving father who tries to stop him from reading a bible, he does so anyway and learns what it truly is to be Christ like. He helps so many people in the process. I thoroughly recommend this film!

I loved this movie and shed buckets of tears while watching it but I am dying of cancer so that may have been a factor.

I also loved Wilford Brimley's pastor in it, always a favourite character actor and glad to see his image redeemed after his creepy role in The Firm.

Reviews on this movie will be mixed I'm sure - or maybe just a lot of 1s and a lot of 10s. I noticed a few flaws but I didn't let it spoil the experience for me. Can't wait to watch it again before my rental time runs out - wish I'd bought it instead.

Still might . . .
