Summary: Quite possibly the most boring movie ever made
Review: I felt the first Left Behind film was such a corny lark (if people leave behind dentures and hip replacements, does that mean they also leave behind breast implants when they get Raptured?) that I had to see what Kirk Cameron and crew were up to for their second turn at bat.I will state this as clearly as possible - nothing happens in this film, absolutely 100% nothing. There's no progression, no forward momentum, nothing. The only thing you could classify as character development is the believers patronizingly preaching to the uninformed. Does anyone want to get their religion from the kid from Growing Pains? The plot consists of our four left behind-ers forming a group (Tribulation force, unite!) that wants to warn the world that the leader of the UN is the, wait for it, Antichrist. This plan goes nowhere. Two of the Tribulation force members contribute nothing to the cause except wistful praying. The crux of the film is on a learned Rabbi who is to reveal to the whole wide world that Jesus is actually the Messiah. In what universe would a single Rabbi saying something about religion have the world's eyes and ears? And why would everyone systematically accept one man's words as the divine truth? If this was the case couldn't we end this boring movie with Cameron yelling, "I loves me the Jesus" and be done with it? I enjoy the Rabbi's slow reveal in his speech. He starts talking about how he's proven who the Messiah is (though we see nothing of his findings) and says it's a man who was born in Bethlehem and betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. Then he says it's Jesus. And the audience literally gasps. This whole plot device couldn't be any more insulting. Overall Left Behind 2 is far worse than the original film, and that is something of an accomplishment of itself. I challenge you to stay awake and interested into what's going on, because there may be more nothing going on in this film than in the entire history of cinema. Cameron is the best the world of journalism has to offer? And anyone else notice that if you're not Western European in ethnicity you're either evil or dead wrong with your religious beliefs. Take that 4/5 of the world! There are so many laugh-out-loud moments (like the explanation for millions instantaneously vanishing as "nuclear radiation," are we in 1955 all over again?) but the largest drawback of Left Behind 2 is how horrifically boring it is. The Omega Codes were equally atrocious but campy and slightly entertaining in an I-Can't-Believe-People-Spent-Money-On-This kind of way. Left Behind 2 on the other hand has no sense of humor and no sense of style, let alone competent pacing, directing, and acting. I know sixth graders that could blow the socks off these Left Behind thespians. I can think of no possible reason anyone should every view this film at any time. I have never been more bored, and I fell asleep during The Thin Red Line three separate times when I saw it in theaters. The only reason you would recommend this film is if you wanted that person to die of boredom. For my money, the DVD menu screen is the funniest and most entertaining part of the film.

Summary: SOOOO much is left out
Review: Not being a big reader I chose to watch the movies first...Big Mistake, because I was left wanting to more story so I picked up boook 3 assumeing that is where movie 1 and 2 stopped....I was so lost becuase entire crucial characters were left out. Events like marriages were left out...the movies just do not follow the books. I had hoped they would have follwed the novels as closely as the harry potter movies followed the books but i was disappointed. Although the movie are still good to see but don't expect a pictorial depiction of the books.

Summary: Not a very good movie at all
Review: I absolutely love the left behind books, but this movie did them no justice. It was creepy and very weird. I don't know what else to expect from the company that made it, however. It is a very weird company.

Summary: Superb!
Review: This is a great DVD that adults and teenagers should see! If your kids are fans of the Left Behind the kids series, then they should see it, too. If you are a fan of DVDs that keep you on the edge of your seat, you should see this! If you are a Christian, then you will definitely like this movie! I find this project very enlightening of what is to come. It is an awesome DVD and you should definitely buy the first DVD and this one, too. It will keep your eyes riveted to the screen until the very end!

Summary: Wow! This is really abominably bad!
Review: I simply am aghast at how horribly bad this movie is. The acting is flat, lifeless and it is obvious the actors are merely going through the motions. The special effects are laughable. Attempts at suspense are simply ludicrous and the whole plot is simply unbelievable. You should watch this only if someone pays you.

Summary: Great Sequal to a Great Message!
Review: Cloud Ten Productions has outdone themselves on this movie. This movie, along with the first, is a great witness tool for the Body of Christ. So, you may not agree with the pre-trib theory. Still, this is a very enjoyable movie and the acting is just fine. Kirk Cameron has come a long way since playing Mike Seaver in "Growing Pains" on TV. Also, I have long admired Brad Johnson, who is also a very fine (but very underused) actor. Clarence Gilyard is also in fine form in this movie. So, put aside all your pre-conceptions and differences and just enjoy!

Summary: A Great Sequel!!
Review: Okay, so you may not agree with the premise of the "Left Behind" Series. I haven't read one of the books, but the movie is good as entertainment and it poses some provocative questions. So we don't all have the answers. No one does, and this movie doesn't pre-suppose that it is the final answer or even the absolute truth. It is based on the authors' premise, which should be filtered through the Spirit of God anyway. Look at the film for what it presents. Maybe we'll all be here on the earth during the tribulation, and that's how I've come to view the films. Trying to imagine (which I can't) what life might be like in the trying times of the Great Tribulation. But those who are "in Christ" will be protected and kept from God's wrath, even in the face of those who will persecute Christians and Jews for their beliefs. Even in the face of a charismatic leader who will offer peace at any price and try to "deceive, if possible, the very elect." Take a breath, relax, and realize this is only a movie, and then enjoy it. I have and it's a fine feeling. And the acting is fine, too. A great sequel. I'm looking forward to the third installment!!!

Summary: A Great Low Budget Family Film!
Review: The books are fantastic and I was very excited to hear that the movies were being made. The only sad thing is that the budget for films like these are not high, so you don't get the "matrix" effects like big budget films. The cast and the rest of the crew did a fantastic job working with the budget they had. I look forward to seeing the same actors play in future Left Behind films.

Summary: Come on, people-not so critical please!!!
Review: Let me start by saying that I have both Left Behind I and II on DVD and love them!! Yes, many people will complain that the movies leave so much out from what the book has but then don't many "script to screen" attempts do that? If you ask me, hats off to Peter and Paul Lalonde for putting out two BETTER quality Christian movies then some of the ones that some of us have seen in our home churches in the past. The poorly made End Time films of the '70s and '80s. Cloud Ten Pictures and Namesake Entertainment did the best with the money they had. It's hard to find funding for Christian Movies-no one's interested and why? Because the message of life through our Lord Jesus Christ will always be attempted to be down-played by those who don't believe. We need to not be rating this movie like we would secular movies. This movie is trying to get a message of Salvation through Jesus Christ to those who don't believe. It's not about thinking if its' Hollywood quality as far as script and cinematography. And as for the comment about the Angel "hypnotizing" the guards, Angels would not use secular means to their advantage. It was the Holy Spirit working through the Angel as she sings it brings forth the mighty power of God to stop those guards. We as Christians need to understand that the Spirit of God is so mighty, mighty enough to stand against any guards and most importantly to stand against Satan. Who knows, one day when Jesus comes again and the rapture takes place. A person that is left behind may put this video in and realize the reality of what has just happened and commit their life to Jesus Christ. Bad or good reviews of this movie doesn't matter. Someone's life being touched and changed by the message of Salvation in these movies is ALL that matters!!!!

Summary: Misunderstood
Review: I thought this movie was awesome. Granted, the storyline left out things from the book, but over-all it was awesome. To those harsh reviewers and to people wanting an honest review: The Two Witness at the wall were sspeaking Jewish. . . to The Rabbi. But since Buck was listening and recoridng, it is 'translated' into English, since ANYONE who hears can understand in their natural tongue. The Angel hypnotising the Guards with Amazing Grace was awessome, and I think it isn't non-sense. As a movie, it is great, but who is to say Angels are unable to do such? Over-all, once again, this is an AWESOME buy and ddefintly worth the money if you don't mind misssing a few small events from the book.
