Whats funny is Hollywood will lament slow box office sales later this year, but not make any connection to the bad movies they keep churning out...nor will they realize the insertion of their own politics, and PC, are the root cause.
"Dogma" (a great and underrated movie) didn't even do that, IIRC.

How could they be so stupid, the Bible said that God promised not to flood the Earth again, but what happens in the movie? God floods the Earth again.
Gee, I can’t imagine why Christians would have a problem with that.
If that movie was supposed to be tailor made for them it truly missed the mark.
The movie was ok, but just because you show “god” and don’t take pot shots at religion in the process doesn’t mean you’ve made a movie for the religous.
What blows my mind about this film, is not the movie itself, its not bad fair... sort of think of it as a poor imitation of “Oh God.” What blows my mind about this movie is that they spent 175 MILLION making this thing... I can’t for the life of me figure out how they spent that much money on this thing. This is not nearly a 200 Million dollar movie.
Yes, there are CGI animals in it, but even that cannot justify the ungodly (yes pun intended) price tag.
They spent way way way too much in production of this movie. It should have been a 50 Millionish if that budget, no way it should have been 175 Million. I don’t know where they spent all that money. And if they had produced it for that budget, it would have made them a handsome profit... nearly 100 Million gross so far.
I don’t think the movie was the problem, it was the budget... And frankly I can’t see where the hell they spent that much money on this film... I’d have had no issues making such a movie if pitched to me for a reasonable budget, however if you pitched this film to me and said, yea, its’ going to cost 175 Million to make, I’d have told you get bent.
Best comment I read on this said it would be like Hollywood making a movie with white actors in black-face, then puzzling over why blacks didn’t pour out to see it.
If Hollywood wants good box-office from Christians, they’ll continue making movies of the Narnia books, and stick even closer to Lewis’s text in the future ones than they did in the first.
They should have learned something from Mel Gibson.
It did have a moral behind it, just as Bruce Almighty did.
It didn't preach that moral with every scene but it did get the message across, at least to me.
Just because you don't understand what G*d plans for you, that's no reason to try to get out of what G*d wants you to do.
When G*d has a specific task for you, he will let you know. When you try to get out of that specific task, G*d will always bring you back to it.
Religion to the Hollywood crowd is two people in bed screaming, “Oh, God!”
Just what I want to see, another SoddomWood movie making fun of Christians and Noah. Glad I missed this disaster.
