The Gospel (2005)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I love this movie so much

To me, this movie is perfection.

So much average

This movie was every bit of what I expected. I didn't expect a profound and complex story. I didn't expect great acting, but I found some very good acting. I rented the movie mainly to see how Tamyra Gray had what it takes to carry a good share of a movie - and of course to hear her sing.I think she pulled it off. Her acting skills came across quite well. I hope to see her in more mainstream films in the future. The other cast members did a good job of acting, too.The music in this film is exceptional.Although this is by no means a fantastic movie, I think it deserves more than the 2.7 rating that the IMDb members gave it.

Anyone who gave this a 1 out of 10 is either anti-Christian or anti-Black or both.Possible spoilers so beware This was a beautiful movie on several different levels. Besides the obvious - great Gospel music, it was also visually pleasing with the quick camera in and out cuts, great acting, and a movie with an uplifting message.I especially liked the actor who played David - he had a great presence. His body language spoke louder than his words. I wish the actress who played Rev Frank's wife was more developed in the movie because I thought her character was quite interesting. I also thought the transformation of Rev Frank was done abruptly at the end; I would have preferred more development of this metamorphosis as well.Overall, this movie worked for me. Admittedly, I love the Word of God and I have a special love for God's people. Thus, I am biased, I know.

Maybe a little cheesy with some of the acting...but truth doesn't lose it's value in the messenger. I think that in the end it makes a good movie because of it's message. I am speaking from experience...and I know truth when I see it. I do understand that everyone's entitled to their opinion and all...I mean, I don't like everything Ebert says is "good stuff"...so with that in mind, if you like music, if you have an ounce of Christian faith, you'll enjoy this film. If you've been to a church in the south, I mean a "full gospel" church, you'll be able to relate tremendously...enjoy! If you are not a "person of faith", I hope you give this movie a chance to see what it's about...faith and the movie...that is. It's worth the time, in my opinion.

The reason people will trash this movie is because it has religious overtones. Well, I guess I should say, it is a religious movie, no overtones about it. If you haven't been paying attention lately, anything that comes out of Hollywood with any kind of a religious message is going to be attacked, no matter the quality of the movie.We should all remember the savaging of The Passion before it even hit the theaters. People were tearing that movie apart long before they had even seen it. The experience of this movie is no different.Jim Rohn said many years ago that good will always be attacked by evil. Always. There is absolutely no reason for this film to be rated 2.9. While I wouldn't give it a 10, I would have rated it 7 or 8. But the story that this movie tells is that of good people struggling with their faults and trying to rise above them. But, they try to do this rising by calling on Jesus for strength and there are a lot of people in this country, and around the world for that matter, that can't stomach the thought of anyone turning their hearts towards God and asking for His help.Those who were expecting some big budget, glitzy Hollywood blockbuster were going to be disappointed. The budget on this film was five million dollars. That kind of budget wouldn't even buy twenty minutes of screen time from someone like Jim Carrey or George Clooney, let alone shoot the whole movie. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was budgeted at twenty million (which is ultra-low budget by current Hollywood standards). Does that mean that it was four times better than The Gospel? Not by a long shot. I'll watch The Gospel again, but I don't think I'll feel any remorse or loss if I never see Eternal Sunshine again. And a lot of Jim's current movies will leave me quite satisfied, just not that one.So, you ask why this film is rated so low here? This is your answer. Good will always come under attack from evil. Always.
