If this is as big a piece of crap as Noah, then I’ll be glad to ignore it.

I saw a small clip of the movie and discovered that Moses was “demanding the water part” .. What ..?? According to the Bible, Moses didn’t say anything .. he just obeyed GOD’s command; “... lift up your staff ...”.

This was an attempt to pre-empt GOD’s WORD .. and insert A HUMAN’S WORDS.

Because the left has decided they can’t abide by GOD’s WORD, then I won’t bother to spend my money to see their ignorant movie.

I think I’ll skip it. Christian Bale is no Charlton Heston.

I liked “The Prince Egypt”. I doubt I’ll see this one.

With respect to the question asked by the Title of this article:

Absolutely not. Once again, the Anti-Christian Hollywood has decided to rewrite another story from the Bible and remove God out of the story.

Don’t waste your money and don’t reward the Marxists and Atheists in Hollywood by buying a ticket.

Hollywood isn’t making religious films. It’s milking the Bible for movie plots. If violent death at the hands of devout Muslims weren’t a possibility, it would borrow from the Koran, too.

Dude has a speech impediment. He been working on it for years, but it is still there. Just like that other one that does the car commercials now, can’t remember his name but you’d know him if you ever saw his lips contort when trying to pronounce certain words....

I’m not talking about stuttering...

Disappointed to read where this movie is missing the mark. From trailers I thought we might find an epic movie inspiring people to know or remember the greatness of their God.

From all the “come-and-see-me videos” in the few hours of cable-company-supplied-recorder bit os video, or from YouTube, they could not have been so wrong.

The movie bits I have seen, and all the wasted airtime on the NBC-owned “Weather Channel”, are all flash and dash with all the latest gimmickry, and no soul.

Christian Bale ain’t no Charlton Heston, even if his parents visited a ‘moil’ when he was an infant.

The movie looks as it borrowed from ‘The Lord of the Rings’, in it’s militaristic confrontations. Moses, in battle armor, on a chariot, screaming: “Come with me, and you shall live!”?????

The movie has an overall feel of another disaster movie, which all were ecliped by “The Day After Tomorrow”.

Is it at all anyway within 20 feet of a closed Bible on a coffee table in somebody’s house? I don’t get that connection. Do you?

The Bible says the people stood away far off from the mountain of God (Sanai) which spewed smoke, lighening and thunder...well I should guess so. So they transplant a petulant child? I don’t think so. Moses was 80 years old when he led the expedition and his purpose was to free God’s people from 400 years of slavery in Egypt to return to the Promised Land
I promise I won’t go see a Hollywood Biblical movie that takes this much liscense with Scripture

So we have another anti-Christian movie mocking God.

I think if the film causes people to go to the original source and be exposed to God’s truth, it will be a good thing.

The Forbes review panned it.

I just saw “Noah”—refused to see it in the movies, and this was a DVD of a friend that I borrowed, so I didn’t even “rent” it. Totally trashed the Biblical story....made God look like he hated babies and Noah was going to do God’s bidding by killing them. Perverted.

I’ll give a miss, thank you very much.

Not much coming out of sewerland that is watchable.

Heck, they even f...er...Obama’d up Intergalactic.

The talent’s pretty thin in la la land, the only hope is a reboot thanks to the big one.

Churches - especially youth pastors - and Christian-television let the ‘camel put his nose under the tent’ when they enthusiastically embraced Roma Downey’s Hollywood endeavors.

Why they would align themselves with a New Age proponent instead of working together to produce a factual rendition of great Bible stories is beyond me. It must be the $$$$$

Unfortunately many have the Book and have never read the story of Moses.

I'm looking forward to it on blu-ray on my home theater, which is how I view every movie these days.

The craptastic Prometheus aside, Ridley Scott is a magisterial filmmaker.
