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

Sorry to hear that. Coming attractions seemed good.

I was going to go see it. What were the top three things that you didn't like?

I'm not surprised. They wouldn't even let them say the word 'God' in the fuggin thing.

Story sucked,dumb or no plot line,what a bad script...come on transformer like rock monsters running the earth,really? Long and drawn out,Russel Crow couldn't act his way out of a paper bag

One the bright side.... the bag of popcorn I ate was good

Excellent review. No bullshit.

Thanks for saving me time and money. I was set for this weekend.

Me too. I guess I'll catch it on PPV.

I'd say wait for it to come on cable...but then again sweeping your garage would be time better spent

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.

Making bullets is always good.

Is Emma Watson playing his wife? She's half Crowe's age.

Jennifer Connelly plays Noah's wife. Just got back from watching it.

If you like laughing as you walk out of a movie theater and wondering how in the world they came up with a story, you will after watching this movie.

Wow.

Heck, I figured Jennifer Connelly would have been worth the price of a ticket.

That's too bad.

I liked the Book better.

When the ads on the radio spend a third of the time defending their use of "artistic license" and saying they "feel it's true to the story of the Bible", you know it's got to suck balls.

Rock people? In the Bible? Really?

Well said!

#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.

I was going to take the wife to see it tonight but now I'm having second thoughts

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...

Ain't no way my buddy sat still for 3 hours.

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.

Popcorn and the reclining lazyboy style chairs made it bearable

Thanks for the save. Disappointed!

Amen!

So Noah just decided to spend 100 years building an ark without God telling him to? I guess everyone needs a hobby.

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.

Standard Hollywood sensationalism drivel

I was going to go see it with the boy today. Then I saw the length of the movie.

FTS. You get 90 minutes to tell 'flave a story.

Yeah they did a different version. The one without God and with the monolithic rock people...

Wait just a damn minute�why would anyone who can�t stand Russell Crowe go see one of his movies?

I will wait for a review by someone who likes Crowe�and 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. Noah�s visions of the flood and the ark, the gathering of the animals, the flood itself and the rainbow are all from God. God�s 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 �God,� but of �the Creator.� It�s hard to imagine anyone considering this controversial or problematic, but for some reason the claim that �God is never mentioned� in the film refuses to die � even though the Creator actually is referred to as �God� at least once, when Ham tells Tubal-cain, �My father says there can be no king; the Creator is God.�
Why call God �the Creator�? 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 �God,� they can hardly help thinking of the Lord who called Abraham and chose Israel, who delivered his people from Egypt, and so on. Noah�s God hasn�t 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 �the Creator� emphasizes God�s 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.

Bowsinger-apparently you never go see a movie your wife is interested in?

Bwahahhaahhaa...


Hollywood idjits. Waste of a great story.
Another one for "read the book"; it is better...

http://travelwithcyrus.com/2014/03/...ched-my-heart-for-all-the-wrong-reasons/

Pretty good read.

Bummer.

Go see it for yourself, and when your girl or wife asks to see a movie just tell her to GFHS that she will see what you want an enjoy it

Creator or God or call me late to supper the move just down right sucked!

Agreed!

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).

This might be better..

6th grade teacher used to play this in class...

They sneaked on to the arch? Was this shot in St Louis?

I asked my wife this morning about our movies.
First, we don�t �go� to movies and haven�t for years. Today�s theaters SUCK.
Movies have to come to us in the living room. So nobody has to sit and watch something they don�t like.

Second, we both like a lot of the same movies. She has different tastes than most gals.
In her next life, she wants to be a crime scene investigator. I want to be a cowboy.

Maybe this is one reason we will celebrate 55 years this fall.

Important points, indeed. Sad they chose to depart so much from the Biblical account.

This morning our minister said that he and his wife went to see it and it was a colossal waste of time and money. She wanted to leave before it was half over but they stayed just so he could 'recommend' it one way or the other. It has no Christian value whatever. It's just another class C sci-fi.

Good grief. Movies never follow the book, but y'all are surprised when this one didn't follow the Bible?

Not surprised at all. Just disappointed. There was so much potential that has been wasted. Not that it will change my day because it won't. I have my own Noah movie in my head anytime I want to play it.

Crowe can act if you give him a script....he was great as Jack Aubrey

But yours is the second bad report I've heard from friends so I guess I'll wait and look at it on cable in six months

Yup I figured they got it wrong when the previews showed snakes making their way into the Ark. Somehow that did not jive with scripture.

I like Crowe too and I think he's a damn good actor. Sux about this movie though.

How so? I thought all the animals were supposed to be on board? If the snakes didn't make it, wouldn't they have vanished?

Sorry, I forgot the little sarcasm thingie.

However, if there's a cleansing my preference would be that the serpent goes along with it.

Snakes heading toward the ark follows scripture exactly.

toward or into?

I just got back from seeing it and liked it.

Not as entertaining as the Ironman movies but lots more so than any of the Superman movies.

So you were really expecting a biblically accurate movie from Hollywood?

Me? No.

+1. After lunch today the wife asked me to see it. George what's up buddy?.... It didn't suck. It was no Book of Eli or Taken, but it kept us entertained.

Go see Non-Stop, surly you'll like that one.

3 damn hours?!


Torture.

2.5 we were there.

I just didn't like it ...I just call um like I see them
I liked the Hobbit, Hang Over 3 sucked
Hunger Games was good Catching Fire(2nd hunger games) was good but not as
Noah just didn't float my boat

+1, part 3 was stupid! ....We didn't even finish it.

Liked Step Brothers better than 1st Hangover
