Only if you're a die-hard Methodist

Surely John Wesley's life and career were more interesting than this! Leaden dialog, stolid acting, cheap sets, unimaginative direction - if you're not already a Methodist (and I grew up in that faith), I can't imagine this film inspiring anyone even to consider becoming one. There is also an almost complete lack of humor. One scene, involving a priest and two wealthy parishioners complaining about Wesley's zealous preaching, shows signs of trying to be mildly amusing, but it doesn't work. Wesley himself may not have been a laugh riot, but anything would have been welcome to relieve the endless sanctimony. An intelligent, balanced, human film about Wesley is still needed.
