I concur they are telling many portions of the Bible very well.
I do wonder why some portions are explicitly changed.
Shadrach, Mishach, and Abendigo,....why not name them and present them as the story is presented in Scripture?
Major and Minor Prophets,...OK they present Jeremiah, Daniel and some mention of others, but it also might be summarized to express major portions.
I have to admit,..I wonder why Obama looks so much like Satan and not the other way around...;^)
6Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were four of the young men chosen, all from the tribe of Judah. 7The chief official renamed them with these Babylonian names: Daniel was called Belteshazzar. Hananiah was called Shadrach. Mishael was called Meshach. Azariah was called Abednego.
Their names were changed in captivity. They showed them in the movie before captivity and afterward.
They tried to pull off a major production of 10 hours on about a 20 million dollar budget.
It strikes me that they could cover only so much.
