Chicago Sun-Times Bill Zwecker
While the actors do a yeoman's job in presenting their characters with aplomb (especially Jesse Metcalfe, as Wesley's lawyer), the entire film simply comes off as a two-hour, jazzed-up movie version of a sermon.

Its pulls back from the original film's cruelty and comeuppances for non-believers, yet its non-Christian characters are still parodies of human evil: greedy, bitter, violent, and out to prove that “God is dead.”

There are serious movies about the Christian faith, about the persecution of the faithful, and about the intolerance that goes both ways. God's Not Dead 2 is not one of them.

Movie Nation Roger Moore
In a righteous world, the better-acted, upbeat and faith-affirming “Miracles from Heaven” would eat this angry tirade for lunch.

Consequence of Sound Dominick Suzanne-Mayer
There is a tone of anger that sneaks out of the film in even its moments of levity.

The A.V. Club Vadim Rizov
The first film pandered to a heavy persecution complex; this installment's relatively subtler, but there are dog whistles aplenty.

God's Not Dead 2 is a much better movie than God's Not Dead, but that's a bit like saying a glass of milk left on the table hasn't curdled and is merely sour.

Variety Nick Schager
Dramatically speaking, God's Not Dead 2 operates at the level of your average middle-school play - except with far greater levels of upside-down logic and bald-faced intolerance for anyone not enraptured by the New Testament.
