So 24 out of 26 reviews (as of this date) are all perfect 10's... and they are all from 1 day old IMDB accounts. I hate to make a comparison (as both films are Filipino-made) but most of 14 reviews of Heneral Luna are from experienced users. I know you all have the right to post a review but this just reeks of desperation.
shareI was shocked seeing the rating. I wonder what is the religion of those who give a 10 star lol
shareYes we are serious.
Just keep an open mind. That is all is being asked. Treat this movie as ANY other movie... don't think it's just an "attack" to other religions... THIS IS THE MOVIE to UNDERSTAND WHO KA FELIX MANALO WAS and WHY he established INC congregations in different parts of the Philippines.
Don't let your "personal" emotions get in the way of you finding out what you seem to be curious about.
Read the following reviews from NON-INC Members as well if you do not want to believe INC Members... and don't let "HATRED" be the reason why you do not watch the film at all. If you have questions about your own faith and belief and are tired of the answers from non-INC preachers (who are not authorized to fully understand the Bible and they can't really explain their own teachings) this may help you too.
HERE ARE NON-INC REVIEWS of the MOVIE:

Don't let bitterness and hatred be the reason you missed out on gaining knowledge.
I'd like to see this movie as "historical" and not "religious", but it had a lot of debate going on. it's like saying "I am right and everyone else is wrong." We can't even conclude that Felix's teachings were right since even he questioned a lot of teachings he, at first, thought was true.
That's on the religious side. On the historical side, it's very evident how the group expanded from a small congregation to several branches around the world. It didn't really contribute to the World War, but it showed how much the church survived during the Japanese colonization.
thank you for your honest review :)
yes, even in times of war, the Church of Christ continued to progress and grow!

thank you for your question @dee-necesito :D
In regards to your statement:
"AAAND if you are confident that the film is good, is there really a need to ask everyone to flock to IMDB and give ratings?
Case in point:

Yes, we are confident that this is a good film... we don't need to ask everyone, but for me, as an INC member, I guess we are just so thankful that this movie is out there that we want to share it with the world --- and we all know that higher ratings means more attention, right? (correct me if I am wrong). So yes, we want to give the movie as much attention as possible.
We (INC Members) are all just really excited! So if this bothers some people, we are sorry, but we really are happy and proud of the Felix Manalo movie.
I think if anyone's story becomes a movie... that person would be excited to share it with the world too :)
There are more non-INC members out there... they outnumber us... but it is because of God's love, mercy, and guidance the Church has been successful and I can see how our UNITY just makes us a strong organization.
NOTE TO ADD: I recently read another review from another NON-INC member and he said the following:
"I would certainly recommend the film to those curious about INC. There is nothing to fear if you are secure in your own faith, as I am being a Roman Catholic. But if you watch, do so with empathy. Otherwise you will just waste three hours of your time." - Ateneo Dean Tony La Viña: https://www.facebook.com/deantonylavs/posts/910500799020854?pnref=story
Everyone should watch with EMPATHY and Understanding.... again, that is all that we are asking for... -- this is the history of the Church we love... we just want everyone to give it a chance.
And how do you justify the one-star rating that you gave to The Martian, Heneral Luna, and Francisco - El Padre Jorge?

sharewow, fake reviews and ratings all over the place! 9.9 (from yesterday's perfect 10). but then again, probably it won't be listed in the official imdb top 250. to the cult members, nice try. hahahahaha!
shareWell, i give credit to the director. Seeing he/she made a 9.5 movie, but then again, this is all crap. All rating are from members of INC.
How desperate can you get?
I'm a fan of history but come on, this is total Bull. There's no movie that attain this kind of reviews/ rating.
This is just sad. Thank you Dee-necesito for opening this thread.
I made a account just so i could tell other people who will rate this in the near future, that the rating of this movie is total crap and bias.
You're forcing people to watch this movie. (I know because i was force to)
