I've refused to read the book for some time and voiced my displeasure that a family member was reading it. That family member, after reading the book, called it a crock.
There is no way that a film can clean up the errors completely. It's going to confuse more people and really, the studio that releases it should be boycotted.

IT'S FICTION
It's not supposed to be true, and anyone stupid enough to believe it is deserves whatever they get.
This material has all been used in fiction before, it's all recycled.
Getting in a flopsweat over fiction is a tacit admission that your belief system is fragile.

I have read it and wasn't struck by lightening. It's a good read which should cause more to rush to their bibles and other sources if only to satisfy their curiosity and clear up any conflicts. And, though it's been said many, many times before and apparently needs to be said again, it's FICTION.
