3 Reasons I Think the Film “Angels & Demons” Is Good for Christianity

By Richard Hamilton, May 23, 2009 12:10 am

1. A lot of people will see it (well, maybe not a lot by summer blockbuster standards, but more than a few).
2. No matter how silly the plot and dialogue are, they will not be as cheesy as 99% of Christian films that have been released in the past decade.
3. It will cause people to talk about spiritual things.

*As a note of disclaimer, I have not seen “Angels & Demons” and will not do so until I have seen Star Trek, Wolverine, and Terminator Salvation. (Having a kid has really cut back on the amount of movies I see in the theater.) I did see “The DaVinci Code” the week it opened.

    I watched The Da Vinci Code in the theater with some teens from Towne South when I was working as a youth minister there. They expressed interest. We talked about it afterwards.

    I thought it sucked on a strictly entertainment level. I liked it about as much as I liked Tom Hanks’ hair.

    I agree we need to see this as an opportunity. Ofc, it requires us to know what we’re talking about.

    agreed, these films are terrible, but there are still people watching them.
