This surprised me - not that Hollywood sanitized it, but that it was even a Christian story at all. You certainly didn't get that from the ads. This really bothers me. I hate it when Hollywood destroys a Christian story or book in order to keep decieving the culture on the power and influence of Christian values. I probably won't see the movie at all now. With "Soul Surfer" they didn't change it that much, and look how popular it was.

The worst is when they take a classic like Narnia and try to make it secular. Just think of how successful that series would have been if they had actually remained true to the book so many Christians adore.

Bad example. Soul Surfer made 43 million in it’s entire run. “The Vow” made 59 million in 5 days so far (as of Wednesday). My wife and I saw the movie and it is good. Go see it. It is a nice story.

Next they will produce a heart-warming story about the life of Mohammed. They will, of course, leave out any hint of Islam.
