I have to say that I am appalled at the ignorance of some of the fundamental christians reviewing this movie..Apparently it does not meet their sanitized Sunday School version of the Noah story with a kindly old man with a beard shepherding the animals two by two and seeing a nice shiny rainbow. They are shocked..SHOCKED I tell you that Noah is portrayed as a hardcore fanatic willing to kill children for God. Well Christians..what about Abraham? You know the "father of your faith"? God told him to kill his son and he was totally down for that...got the knife out and everything. In sermons this is seen as a shining example of faith that one should have should they hear voices in their head. What do you expect a prophet to be like? Remember Elijah? Called bears out of the woods to maul some young boys because they were taunting him.
And they are shocked...SHOCKED that Noah is betrayed as drunk and naked...read the freakin' bible..he gets drunk and naked! Yes the bible is filled with lunatic prophets, drunkeness, sex and violence. People complaining about this movie have you even read the book of Genesis?
I could go on here but I won't..Just wanted to share that I thought this was an excellent film overall..the acting was superb..he did make some interesting writing/directing choices some of which did not work. The rock creatures were cool but didn't seem to quite fit in. And I was hoping for more animal scenes and flood scenes. Also viewers should be aware that this the story is also based on the book of Enoch (an ancient book that did not make it into the biblical canon). This is where the angels and such come from. Overall I'd give it a 9 (but voted it a 10 to bring score up from the knuckleheads giving this a one. Good work Darren...the greatest living filmmaker in my opinion.
