That's disappointing. It could have had so much potential. Now allowing God to be mentioned will keep me away. I was going to go tomorrow. Guess I'll make bullits. that. I mean, what's the whole point of making a movie about God, and then not mentioning him? Stupid.

Up until near the end of production, they hadn't even had the inclusion of animals planned for the movie.

George saved me $20 bucks, thanks. We did see the movie Non-Stop last week & that was a good action flick.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

There was one thing in particular that really turns you off of this movie.
Never once do you get the idea that Noah had an understanding of what was to come to pass. No idea of the possibility of redemption of mankind. Quite the opposite in fact. His job was simply to wipe man of the face of the earth.

I hate to ruin the movie, but the story goes something like this:
"Noah"
"Yes, Lord?"
"Build a big boat, put all the animals you can find on it, grab your family and prepare for a long cruise, it is going to rain for quite awhile"
"Yes, Lord"
It then rained for 40 days and nights, flooded the entire earth. Sometime later the waters abated and Noah parked the boat, unloaded the animals and went on with his life...
That is pretty much the story, no need to sit through a 3 hour movie to illustrate that much detail... Yeah they did a different version. The one without God and with the monolithic rock people...

What a waste of 3 hours! Stupidest movie I've seen in a while
I would have enjoyed needles in my eyes more than this debacle
I was going to go see it. What were the top three things that you didn't like? #1 The movie was way too long and had a bad flow to it. #2 The "laval rock monsters" defending the Arch #3 Other "liberties" the movie makers took with depicting the entire story-the bad guy sneaking onto the Arch, Noah's son's not all taking wives on with them. It was a bad movie, and I just plain don't like Russel Crowe. 'Don't really know why, but I just don't like him. Don't waste your money-wait for it to come out on cable. Wait just a damn minuteοΏ½why would anyone who canοΏ½t stand Russell Crowe go see one of his movies? I will wait for a review by someone who likes CroweοΏ½and those who have seen it, say that while the Bible version is stretched a lot, God is mentioned a whole bunch. From the National Catholic Register: Does Noah avoid mentioning God? This is the silliest controversy around the film. God is a constant presence in Noah. NoahοΏ½s visions of the flood and the ark, the gathering of the animals, the flood itself and the rainbow are all from God. GodοΏ½s existence is taken for granted by everyone, even the villain. The sole issue, if you can call it that, is that characters in Noah generally speak, not of οΏ½God,οΏ½ but of οΏ½the Creator.οΏ½ ItοΏ½s hard to imagine anyone considering this controversial or problematic, but for some reason the claim that οΏ½God is never mentionedοΏ½ in the film refuses to die οΏ½ even though the Creator actually is referred to as οΏ½GodοΏ½ at least once, when Ham tells Tubal-cain, οΏ½My father says there can be no king; the Creator is God.οΏ½ Why call God οΏ½the CreatorοΏ½? For several reasons. A slightly less familiar term helps create a sense of a bygone era, a cultural world remote from our own. When Christians (and Jews) hear οΏ½God,οΏ½ they can hardly help thinking of the Lord who called Abraham and chose Israel, who delivered his people from Egypt, and so on. NoahοΏ½s God hasnοΏ½t done any of those things. Using a less familiar term for him helps us appreciate this. It also helps nonbelievers watching the film to prescind from their own views and enter the worldview of the characters. Calling God οΏ½the CreatorοΏ½ emphasizes GodοΏ½s identity as the maker of all things, an especially noteworthy emphasis so close to the time of creation. It highlights that God is not just a big boss in the sky, but the One on whom all that is depends for its existence. Read more: http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/noah-controversy/#ixzz2xO1ri1Eu

From a friend...
Just saw "Noah" with the family. I liked it. However, a couple of points of clarification needed on the BIG issues: 1) Noah was NOT chosen by God to build the ark because he "could get the job done." Noah was chosen because he was "righteous" and "blameless" (Gen. 6:9). 2) God sent the flood NOT because man had ecologically wrecked the earth but because man had rebelled and cursed God continually (Gen. 6:5).
Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other the person to die ......
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."
