I don't have the time to read such the criticism and I don't care, but all I know is that 'War Room' is one of best movies I have watched that touched my soul deeply.[color=#000099][/color] |

Jahblessme: I haven't watched it either, the negative reviews caught my attention since people declared it the elixir of good marriages. I agree that their 'Faith' is 'different'. There are a host of bloggers who think women should never work outside the home...... even online businesses are just permissive. The binding of satan and prayer stuff; I am sure they will faint if they visit a church like Mountain of Fire or RCCG. I have nothing against that type of prayer and some people disputing that God doesn't talk to people, they are on their own. P.S: I apologize for the late responses and thanks to all contributors. |

NoToPile: I think the critic really had time, but again, I believe he does this for a living. I also do not agree with the points against 'contemplative prayer'. Like you said, it is more of doctrinal issues. |

cococandy: He will surely have a fit I find that there are the extreme/modern day/3rd wave etc. feminists who believe all women should do is focus on their careers/jobs without a home focus..... there are also the extreme christians/anti-feminists etc. who believe that all women should do is focus on their homes. Would really like to discuss with both groups. Abiagirl777: @Bold: Me too. The rate War Room took over Black pant & bra is alarming. |

Pidgin2: We both know the bold doesn't make much sense. Not all treads are created because the OP agrees with the author. Infact, if you read the first post, you would understand that I wanted Nigerians' reviews of the movie. If you are surprised that this American Critic said working wives are sinning, then you are in for a shocker. A number of Americans don't believe in working wives or women preachers. Some even advise women to stop teaching boys in church after 13; are against Choir Mistresses and any other position where women will have authority over men. LOL! at the devil and his accomplices. Stop sounding like God can't defend Himself or His Word. Fadamant: If you got the post above from this thread then what can I say? The Critic is a pastor who is saying the movie is not 'Christian enough'. cococandy: Thanks. Those posts were funny. 1 Like |

MiddleDimension: Well, that is the danger in watching only one movie by a producer or listening to only one sermon by a pastor; you can't capture all their belief system. The same producer did Fireproof where it was the husband who fought for the marriage and the success of the marriage was squarely on the husband's shoulders. Watching both films will give a more holistic view to the mind of the producers on marriage. CC: Benita27, PaperLace |

DarkRebel69: Hmmmmmmm................ Christians would be able to relate with the OP, sorry I can't going to the basics. Interestingly, only sizzling, therapeutic sex served on a platter of regularity has never kept a man who wants to wander from wandering. |

This thing long o, but I've always known such movies are boring anyway. |

TR1212: SO you also feel the lead actress became a staunch Christian too soon? Likening it to Saul/Paul, he was blind for 3 days (during which he was praying and fasting), Ananias prayed for him & baptized him. After several days, he started preaching the gospel. My point is that God can do anything with anyone. The only reservation is not to give leadership positions to new converts so they don't become proud. 1 Tim 3:6 |

freecocoa: Wetin long? The review? I don't think the movie is boring...... |

bukatyne:Yea, the review. You don watch am? |
Re: War Room Movie: Not As 'perfect' As It Sounds? by bukatyne(f): 11:43am On Aug 07, 2017 |
freecocoa: Nope, but the story has a line underneath the Christian lessons i.e. it has a life of its own. |

MiddleDimension:No movie can be a model for life just like your Pastor's preaching can't be a model for marriages because both the movie producers and pastors interpret what they know or think the bible is saying. It's just that someone of us want to use our canal or worldly ideals to qualify the bible. If you must do that, do it on your own accord and don't try to somehow qualify it for what the bible says about it. I personally believe that couples should live based on their own idiosyncrasies. 1 Like |

bukatyne:Yea yea, you know how I feel about religion but besides that, the fact that the writer's thought prayers, the solution to everything, including cheating, is ridiculous and boring, still, just my opinion. |

bukatyne: My criticism were on the production. Little things. A shot taken one way where another may have been better. Stuff like that. But personally I watch Christian movies for the message not the production. Except where production is just bloody horrible like most Nollywood crap, I tend to ignore and just focus on tue message. Same with this movie |

bukatyne: It's nearly biologically impossible for a man to pledge and unwaveringly uphold his troth to a single woman, likewise a woman to a single man. In essence, all married men want to "wander", and it's only the chiding thoughts of having to pay the piper on a later date that keeps most men in line. Unless a man can come out and boldly say that all through his marriage he has never for once humoured the thought of swiving a lady other than his wife. I doubt we can find such a man, even the thoughts of priests occassionally walk through those corridors of sexual debauchery. The fact that such thoughts even exist vaguely hints that marriage, especially of the monogamous ilk, might all but be an illogical social construct, one that goes against the very grain of biology. But I digress; Sex might not keep a man from wandering, but lack of sex will definitely make a man's infidelity a foregone conclusion. Excluding "money", many people marry mainly for these three reasons: Sex, love, and children. And it's usually only when one of these three, or two of these three, or all of it is lacking, that the curtains begin to close in on a marriage. In conclusion, sex might not be a 100% fail-safe hedge against unfaithfulness, but hot, regular sex surely holds more sway than mere "prayers". Surely you would agree with that. |

bukatyne: I do not know how to argue the bibile. To each his understanding according to the will of the Holy Spirit. So i'll let that slide. However, for someone who could barely say graces before meals, to suddenly start casting and binding demons, makes me kinda wonder why there are satanic influences and manipulations if it is that easy. The movie should probably have centered on God's graces and mercies upon us when we call on him, instead, it spoke more about some Instant power you receive to CHANGE THINGS as you wish upon being born again. Don't know if i'm making sense, but somehow, I still think the message(s) in that movie didn't come out as strong as I'd have expected. I'm inclined to agree with @Darkrebel69 and many other posters on this thread. A redeemed pastor I knew years back once told his church members during service that "marriage is 99% physical". I don't know what it is exactly. Haven't been able to place hands on it, but I still maintain that the movie lacked in some aspects. Maybe it is because it is one of a kind and a great opportunity for the entire production crew to pass a wonderful message about marriage and its challenges. Maybe I have to watch it again and then come back and criticize better. But it is a good movie still. God be praised |

I have seen the movie.... but most of the reviews point are more about doctrine and not really about the movie. I don't agree with many of his views not because the movie is 100% but because I don't agree with his doctrine. BTW the movie is 1+ hr there is no time to show ALL the repentance process or everything involved with winning a backsliding person. You learn this process not from just a film. Learn something from the movie and move on. |
