Why are Christian movies so damn terrible?

God's Not Dead, Left Behind, every Kirk Cameron movie ever, etc. Even major blockbusters like Noah tend to suck. How can it be so hard to make a good one? I don't mean they suck because of the messages, they are just legitimately poorly made movies all around.
The last respectable one was The Passion and even that was just well filmed torture porn. Basically it took Charlton Heston's 9 pound nuts and the largest movie budget ever to put out a good one. The best one since then was probably Prince of Egypt and that was animated.

How to save a life had a very low budget but it was actually a pretty good movie.

I enjoyed Gods Not Dead. As an agnostic it was entertaining to see the excuses that they try to give to the majority of people on earth who dont believe in their religion.

Search For The Holy Grail was pretty good.

I agree that most do suck, but if you believe that Noah was anywhere near a "Christian Movie" then you really don't know much about Christianity.
The only real relate-able part of that movie and the bible story was the title.

Because Christianity and all of its tenets are pretty boring to begin with.

I liked Dogma. Was one of Kevin Smith's better movies.

If you don't enjoy Kirk Cameron's work then there is no pleasing you. He is the best actor of his generation. He is also an expert in fossils.

Passion of the Christ was a great movie
Continue on with your hate

You watching a Christian movie would be similar to Beejon watching straight porn with cheeseburger Eddie. You gotta believe in it.

A sincere answer from a christian who hates what we put out in theaters and on the radio...
the problem is that we try to be so "set apart" that it's not relatable to the rest of the world. so we make movies that don't have the hint of inappropriate humor or content and dumb down Christian lyrics to the masses. So we make something that's appealing to take our kids to because we know it's clean, but is wholly removed from culture and unattractive to non-christians.
case in point... take 2 of the bigger names in "christianity" in Hollywood right now. Kirk Cameron is just a blowhard meme at this point.Then take Zach Levi. Levi is very outspoken about his faith, but he doesn't make it so unrelatable that he's kryptonite. he does a lot more good just being a christian who does life than Cameron will ever do with his movies.

Kind of an uphill battle for a niche market (and I say that as a Christian). Hollywood doesn't really cater to those films, so they don't have the resources or the pull to get the best acting and production.
The best Christian movie I have seen to date was The Climb (2002). Decent storyline and well-acted. Starred Jason George and Ned Vaughn, iirc. But still kinda cheesy, of course

I'd like to see one made about the Divine Council in the heavenlies. That would be interesting.
