Christian related movies

I've like a couple (I can Only Imagine, The Case For Christ) and other ones like Passion Of The Christ and Chronicles Of Narnia. But Most Christian moves like those from the Kendrick Brothers, Gods Not Dead franchise, all of those are just really bad. Bad acting, bad directing, bad script, really cheesy and really cliche. And many of those movies have a reasonable budget. So why is it that most Christian movies are just plain terrible and unwatchable? As a Christian I love movies, and I would love to see more movies about my faith, but I want them to be good. I don't understand why they aren't?

I saw the movie Risen a few days ago.
Don't watch it. Terrible acting.

I loved the movie Amazing Grace. It's the true story of William Wilberforce and the outlawing of the slave trade in Briton.

I mentioned previously, either in this thread or another, that many Christian filmmakers commit the error of putting the message before anything else. They either forget or choose to ignore the fact that movies are supposed to be entertaining stories first, and you can't connect with your audience if your story is overly simplistic or outright insulting.

You cited the Kendrick brothers, whose biggest successes were probably Facing the Giants and Fireproof. After that, it seemed they leveled out a lot - I personally didn't see most of their other projects. David A.R. White masterminding the God's Not Dead series is another example - the original film was okay in certain spots, though both lead characters almost seemed like extreme caricatures regarding their moral and spiritual positions. I liked the second film much more; Melissa Joan Hart helped ground it as a teacher forced to defend her faith after giving an honest answer to a student lands her in legal trouble. But the third film was terrible, especially the ending where the church allows itself to be forced from its current location to appease protesters. As a viewer, I was incensed by this, asking myself "If you back down like this once, what's to stop them from making you do it again, another few years down the line when someone else starts complaining?" I have no interest in the fourth entry - that franchise has worn out its welcome for me.

I'll take your word for this and give it a pass. Most Christian movies that I have watched are very lame, not very scriptural, and like you have said, terrible acting.

I actually liked Risen. While its true the film takes several liberties with accepted Christian teaching, I challenge you to name more than a handful of modern faith-based films which don't. Even The Passion of the Christ, widely hailed for its accuracy upon its original release, was later condemned because Mel Gibson dared to add extra elements like Jesus having family-related flashbacks, an androgynous version of Satan showing up a few times, and Judas Iscariot being chased by demonic "children". I think some people need to get off their "high horse" and accept the fact that these are movies, not sermons. They have built-in messages, to be sure, but they're ultimately meant to entertain and emotionally reach the audience, first and foremost.
