From the epic renditions of Cecil B. DeMille until this latest Bible movie, it has been nothing more or less than a travesty of rendering from the Word. I recommend people stick with the B-I-B-L-E. It is available for a reason. My personal worst Bible movie has to be The Ten Commandments.
If you are able to accept this, Bible movies are no worse than writings about the Bible.

I guess that I would say that I partially agree. There is no way to make a "watchable" movie that is longer than a couple of minutes that doesn't add information (and really that is being generous). But I think there are a some that do a decent job. I know that there are many that are not a fan of Mel Gibson but I think he did an excellent job with The Passion of Christ. I could have done without some of the Catholic references, but other than that Excellent. The point of Jesus' death on the cross is to move each person that hears it; To see that God loves you. And I believe The Passion did that.

I don't think movies like The Ten Commandments are an issue. If you want just God's Word, you read the Bible. If you want something that draws from the Bible but extrapolates on events and characters etc. to give them more depth and more to do, that's fine. The difference is the Bible is God's Word and The Ten Commandments is more like biblical fiction (it draws from the Pentateuch but also Jewish tradition and Jewish lore). It's not evil but some of the stuff in there has been invented by the writer and been taken from other sources - not inspired but historically and culturally interesting and largely accurate texts. If you can't handle anything that isn't a word-for-word retelling of a Bible story etc, well, yes, you're going to have issues with any Bible movie, novel, music piece etc. But for the rest of us, it's a way to get immersed in the story and the culture and see some of the reality of those times. Again, if we want to know what God's Word says and nothing else, we go back to the Bible to read and study it. But really, that should already be happening.
Praise the Lord this movie might lose money! No matter how it's spun, you are making a statement by either paying to see this apostasy or avoiding it and supporting the awe inspiring "God's NOT dead" instead.

I am sorry jonathanbchristian if my post seemed to be directed at you. It was not intended that way and it really didn't dawn on me as a possibility until I just read danalee's post. Tintin's comment just reminded me of someone that said that to me years ago. I could not believe when they said it. They sincerely believed that Jesus used the KJV. I didn't know where to start. Anyway, I apologize if it seemed like I was poking at you.
I went ans saw it, what stood out to me over it all is MERCY, even though is showed it not from God as from Noah and he couldn't kill those babies, Mercy won
As in all truth is God a Merciful God and is the winner to transfer that to us if we will believe God
Much error yes in the movie yet Mercy wins, so will we be Merciful over being Dogmatic?
There is no freedom, without investigation to all and by all is there?

ok so when you say much error i assume your talking about the watchers. Now one has to ask the question how could Noah go unnoticed building a boat that big ?
i mean seriously the thing was massive longer than a football field and plus there was only eight of them, and tons and tons an tons of Canaanites.. ? if you think you know the answer your only guessing,,, so how can you rule out the possibility that watchers helped them ??

I did not even talk about that part, I said the part that is in error, and that is God was not shown as Merciful, (man was over God) and the Mercy regardless is what stood out to me.
all the rest is whatever it is, the flood happened the Ark built, no matter how one slices, dices, and or cubes it. Looking at the whole not the parts
The whole God is Merciful if God were not, then the world all would have just been destroyed, Noah or anyone would not have been called
And the whole of it was that God saw us as evil, we only thought of self, and had no love for others except those that love us. Now today through the cross, in the resurrected Christ, we see differently, through the resurrected Christ in Spirit and truth, the Mercy full blown and the seeing totally different than when we were stuck at the death, The risen Savior is where one changes in sight

are you joking me ??? you must of been watching a different movie then,, God saved noah and his family are you blind ? is that not merciful ? how dare say you say there was no mercy from god in that movie..How dare you say that man
and what about Noah at the end showing mercy to the infants,, ?? was that God inside noah or was that satan??.
you like many other people dont get the movie,, like i explain in post 152 already go back and read it man,, you might learn something,,I have give this movie some for thought and i think that maybe the directors was wanting to really drive the message home how important it was for Noah's ark to be saved. because Noah realized how important it was for his people to be saved.
I see that the watchers are still in existence because there is scripture that say children of gods guardians are always looking in the face of God.
So thats where i am with the watchers they took pity and disobeyed and crashed to earth to save us. from the fallen one.
at the beginning of the movie the watchers where being killed quite easily and then when flood started to rise there where not many watchers left so at this point i believe it was a bit of inspiration thinking from the directors to make you have hope that Noah s ark might be saved. Because i was fearing the worst after seeing the fallen angels easily wiped out at the beginning ) I thought there going to get battered please do your best to defend the ark, (the ark is also the ten commandments.) IN A SPIRITUAL SENSE)
and on this basis now i now see the directors intentions and i actually now applaud it. i see that the intentions where purely spiritual to make you have hope .
so that must mean that you have the book of genesis completely worked out then,, well no you do not,, like many other atheists in this world you and other people fail to see the spiritual meaning to the movie to make you understand how important it was for the people to be saved,, you people are so quick to condemn you make me feel sick, and then you claim to be christian..
the directors of this movie wanted you to have hope that noah would save his people now what does it matter that it was not quite right with the biblical translation,,
there are many tings in genesis that are not written that should not have been left out,, do you understand this.. you are acting like an atheist man,, the directors of this movie,, just wanted to give you hope that Noah would be saved and Noah would save his people,,, why did you even go and watch the movie just to come on here and put it down man,,you think you are a christian but christian don't mock there was plenty mercy shown in that movie man.. wake up man ...
now i know you have a lot of knowledge of the bible but that does not mean you have a lot of spiritual knowledge and judging from you post that is pretty evident to see..
