This is a touchy subject, so let it be clear that the rating given here is according to the film's entertainment value, and not the validity of its points. I don't really want to get too deep into my religious views here, so I'll just say this: if you're a die-hard atheist militant, you will really really like this film. The point made is that religion will destroy the world if we don't stop it, and a lot of (but not exclusively) extreme or stereotypical examples and people are used to make that point. Maher still demonstrates a lot of logic and a certain degree of rationality, though he will lose anyone who considers his or her opinion "nuanced". In other words, he didn't make this film to convert anyone, but only to cement the opinions of those who already agree with him, which, I think, is just odd. At any rate, it's worth a watch even if you don't agree with his arguments, just for the sake of knowing them and understanding the position, which is explained quite well.
Eric's Reviews
About
- I watch a ton of movies and TV Shows and play a ton of games, which is rather unproductive. So, I have decided to review as many things as I can, to at least get something that might be useful to others out of it. Sorry if I end up bashing a movie you like, as I'm in critic mode when I write here. In reality, I can enjoy every movie, even zero star ones! Hope you enjoy the site!
