However, this series is divisive in Christian circles because it promotes the "literalist" interpretation of all Scripture above a more proper hermeneutic. I have described them as decent fiction, and if the books would take the point of view that this is one "possibility" or interpretation of the subject of biblical eschatology (study of the "end times), then I could live with that. As a Southern Baptist minister, I confess that the books were a guilty pleasure for me, though I have yet to finish the last two books of the series. There are certainly plenty of Christian materials worthy enough to be made into movies.but not the "Left Behind" series.and these movies ultimately fail because, while being best-sellers, they are poorly written novels based on bad theology. So, if the purpose of the movie is to scare people into Christian faith, then the movie should be somewhat scary, right? However, you can't comment on a film adaptation from a book without commenting on the book, or in this case, series of books. In other words, the mistake comes in making this into a G-rated film when the content, even in the most conservative of Bible interpretations, would be R-rated by any measure. Because the film is "Christian," this is predictable, as you can't very well portray violent chaos of the "end times" without also breaking some of the ethics which are normally associated with Christianity. I didn't have a problem with the acting.the cast is solid however, the screenplay in both movies gives the actors little opportunity to really stretch themselves. However, the writing is certainly disjointed, with little in the way of character development.exactly what I'd expect when there is an agenda to a film. What can you expect from a low-budget, "B" movie? Not much, and it works from the standpoint of production. Just from the standpoint of production value, screen writing, and movie making, this movie fails on many levels, though it succeeds on a few as well. While I realize there is a 3rd movie out that I haven't seen yet, I'll review under the original title. It's been a while since seeing this the first time, so I watched it again with the second movie in the series.
