    What a weird movie. Since most everyone knows the story I don't have to worry about spoilers.

    First, these giant rock monsters are the ones who built the ark.

    Then once they're on the ark Noah kinda goes all Jack Nicholson in The Shinning crazy like and wants to kill members of his family. It's completely creepy and at any moment you expect him to hack thru a wall and yell, "Here's Noah!"

    Also they never say God in the entire movie, it's The Creator. Just seemed a little odd and forced political or religious correctness. It's a bible story, I think it's okay to say god. If people were offended by the mention of god I don't think they would be seeing the movie.

    I'd give it a C+, B-. Wait till it comes out on bluray.

    If they aren't going to follow the bible they should have named it Gilgamesh. Much cooler name.

    Ha! I heard another critique about Noah a few days ago that said, "you ain't gong to like this!"
    Now I don't know what the purpose of the story of Noah is as far as the cannon is concerned but making it something other than what it is, seems dumb. Not needed here.

    As for the wildman on the boat, it should be on this summer sometime so get prepared to come down and give a full report before the Big run starts. I need to run it up to Portland and get some canvas work done.

    If you don't be good, god will drown every single baby on earth, until they asphyxiate in a slow and torturous death full of panic and fear

    God fearing indeed

    Thanks for the Review! Wanted to go see it until I read about the filmmaker and figured Hollywood would ruin it. Redbox it is.

    Did they use subtitles so you could actually understand Russell Crowe when he started mumbling?

    Where’s the beef? That’s what the carnivores were wondering as they arrived at the Boathouse in Central Park for the “Noah” party.

    The buffet tables were loaded with various forms of edible vegetable matter, but there was no meat, fish or cheese — because director Darren Aronofsky is vegan, as was the hero of his biblical epic, as played by Russell Crowe.

    To underscore the point in the movie, which also stars Emma Watson and Jennifer Connelly, villain Tubal-cain (Ray Winstone) eagerly bites the head off an unidentified reptile and devours it raw. Meat = evil. Got it.
