I was very disappointed in this movie, not due to anything about religion (as I am not religious) , rather due to lack of action and simply a boring movie. the special effects were cheap/ lousy , there were a few action scenes, but the special effects were like a cheap transformer movie, and the storyline was boring... Russel Crowe will hurt his rep with this lemon...
It was ok. Just ok. It wasn't meant to mirror stories from the Bible but when you take such well known material, you are asking for trouble by embellishing it (with shades of Mad Max, Titanic, Lord of the Rings, and Transformers) Russell Crowe is exactly the kind of actor who can ruin a movie for you - and he sure didn't help this one. But it was the story line not the lack of talent that was the issue here. It'll be on Netflix soon enough. Save your money.
Miss it!
The movie Noah in no way depicts the biblical account of this prophet, greatly distorting his character. The script writer takes great liberty in devising his own interpretation of the biblical content and makes Noah appear to be a self-absorbed, fanatical murderer who has completely lost his mental faculties. The movie is a great disappointment.
Wish there was a 0 rating choice. Don't usually catch a movie when first out but did with this one and regret it. There were no viewer reviews. This is a place to share opinions so I don't get why people knock those who didn't like it. I am not Christian but if I were seeing a movie advertised as the classic story of Frankenstein then I would expect that story to be told on the screen. This was advertised as the epic biblical story of Noah and it is nothing even close. If you expect to see transformer rock monsters, futuristic sci-fi earth landscapes, good costumes but not fitting to biblical times, great actors doing mediocre performances and then you actually like it, that is good. But
Not the worst movie ever but not great. Some ok acting, again no academy awards.
Zero stars. Worst movie I have ever seen. A complete disgrace to all Jews, Christians and Moslems. The director should have done some research prior to taking on this epic story. Tragic that the only "religious" moments were quasi-environmentalism.
The worst movie ever. A total was of time - left early!
The superb acting saved this movie for me. The storyline was decent, I'm not religious so I didn't care about "inaccuracies" but I thought the rock characters ("Watchers") were very cheesy and detracted from the movie and were poor quality CGI to boot.
All together it was not a bad movie. I don't understand why everyone was expecting it to be "true" to the STORY in the bible? Really. Did the previews on TV not give that away? It is a big budget, hollywood movie people. It was meant to entertain and it did. The bones were there - evil of man, the arc saving animals, even Noah himself was not immune to a narrow minded way of thinking. Keeping it simple. Even if transforming rock 'watchers', strange animals and magic sparks were a bit much, hey, it was a movie. If you want the true story you need to travel back in time and see for yourself.
