Well said, chuckles.

People will nitpick and complain just to nitpick and complain, always seeing the glass half empty. None of Hollywood's re-telling of Biblical stories were or could ever be "accurate" to how each individual understands those stories to be. The bible is rich with stories about our faith and the human spirit. I am simply grateful that there are those willing to make shows/movies about the bible in a positive way that can reach a new audience.

One one hand, you do have those who,

• If it’s The Nativity Story, they point out that we don’t know the wise men were kings, or that there were three of them.
• If it’s The Prince of Egypt, they point out that it was Pharaoh’s daughter, not his wife, who discovered Moses in the river.
• If it’s The Ten Commandments, they remind us there is no biblical record of an Egyptian princess saying “Moossseeeess, Mooosseeeess!” so many times.
• If it’s the History Channel’s Bible series, they point out the Bible does not attribute ninja moves to the angels who helped Lot flee Sodom.

Second, there is the group that is flattered to see Hollywood pay any attention to the Bible at all. No matter what Hollywood does with the sacred stories, it’s “getting the word out,” or “making the Bible seem cool.”

• If it’s Bruce Almighty, they start a group discussion about how God may or may not be like Morgan Freeman.
• If it’s The Passion of the Christ, they invite their lost friends and neighbors over for dinner and a bloodbath.
• If it’s Spiderman 3, they do a sermon series on revenge and the spirituality of superhero movies. (http://thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevinwax/2013/11/18/how-should-christians-respond-to-noah-the-movie/)

However, my objections are not simply a case of a Hollywood's re-telling of Biblical stories with some reasonable necessary conjecture, and minor errors, but willful distortions of the Scripture, and often poor acting by souls who can only fake reverence for that which is holy, and which, like a dead gospel, has the effect of immunizing souls to the real one. It is crime to misrepresent history in text or in spirit, and how

Noah: Glenn Garvin of the Miami Herald held little back in his criticism, noting, “With the pace of a music video, the characterizations of a comic book and the political-correctness quotient of a Berkeley vegetarian commune – laughably, the destruction of Sodom is depicted without the faintest hint of the sexual peccadillo that takes its name from the city – this production makes Cecil B. DeMille look like a sober theologian.” Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/03/just-how-unbiblical-is-the-bible/

Also of note as to motive, there is a documentary i have not watched, The Bible According to Hollywood, but a review cites the narrator Henry Stephens averring that the Bible's essential value to Hollywood springs from its absorbing stories and plot lines, and since these tales are considered to be in the public domain and therefore necessitate no linking royalty payments,. - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420524/?licb=0.6313922659731218
