Re: Noah
WHY?! WHY, didn't I check here first before going to see it yesterday?! It was horrible! I was so mad by the time I got out of there. Hollywood tried to cash in on Christians and did a bait and switch.
If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you carry a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

Re: Noah
I've been done w/ the beast of Hollywood. Can't stand to provide financial support to those who hate America and it's foundations.
they trash my faith and expect me to give them money. Never again.
haven't seen the movie, but I don't need to taste dirt to know I don't like it.

Re: Noah
Pre seeing movie:
Yeah yeah yeah. I see all these posts carping about how bad it is. Doesn't follow the bible enough. What do you expect when Hollywood goes to history, or the Bible. Grow up and realize that Hollywood is always going to be a little off from, reality, or the book.
Seeing Movie:
After Movie:
Why oh why didn’t I just listen to you guys and avoid the painful disaster that was this movie? What a crock! I’m pretty open minded on stuff like this. I’m certainly not a right wing Bible thumper. I can handle the fact that other people may read the same passage I do and draw a different conclusion.
But this offensive piece of manure goes way over the limit. This is not somebody, unfamiliar with the material, who simply got it wrong. This is somebody extremely familiar with the material, who intentionally attempted to subvert the message. This guy is obviously familiar with Apocryphal writing and Jewish lore. He drags in irrelevant legends and ignores common interpretations to present a blatantly wrong version of the Biblical story. He usurps the Biblical account to press his own liberal, environmental agenda.
I won’t go into it point by point at this time, but the cliffs notes version is that man sinned by raping the earth and eating meat. Man was put here by the creator not to have dominion over the world, but to be a caretaker. And at the end, he left the fate of humanity up to Noah.
I was surprised he didn’t work Lilith into it for a little feminism.
The effects were good and the acting was top notch. If this had simply been a sci-fi yarn about the end of the world, I’d recommend it. But I see it as an in your face, thumbing of the nose directed at a specific religion.
Again, I’m probably the most liberal member of this board, and the guy most likely to have given this travesty a pass. But even I can’t stomach this one.

Re: Noah
Before I even heard about the Bible missing from this Bible story, I chose not to see the movie after seeing the commercial preview on TV. It showed who I assume is the Noah character twirling a staff like a ninja. That was enough. Not interested.

Good call on your part. I can assure you that Noah the Ninja was the least of this films problems.Texsquatch wrote:Before I even heard about the Bible missing from this Bible story, I chose not to see the movie after seeing the commercial preview on TV.

Re: Noah
I heard that it was a good story and the trailers look good. I can hardly wait to go see it.
Though I only briefly scanned the posters on this thread, it appears that exactly one poster has actually watched it.
I promise to give a thorough and objective opinion once I have seen it.

Re: Noah
We average a movie theater visit every year or 18 months or so. I don't plan to give them any of my money for this one. Won't even watch it on Netflix.
I wouldn't mind getting out to see "The Great Budapest Hotel" if we get a chance. . . but likely it'll be at Redbox or Netflix online before I know how it goes.
