We watched, and the discussion with friends over the past week, who also watched too, has been amusing.
Some of our observations:
We had no idea there were Ninja Angels
Moses sometimes had the look of a crazed cult leader, not the meekest man on the earth.
They should have cast a more beautiful woman as Sarah, because she was kidnapped twice for her beauty, and this actress who played the part just wasn’t pretty enough.
What happened to those two servants Abraham took with him when he went to sacrifice Isaac, and we had no idea that Mt. Moriah was close enough that Sarah could run to it from their camp.
Cool part...Pharoah being in the water when it turned to blood.
All in all, it was enjoyable, we just were having fun with the “hollywood version” of the stories.
I haven’t watched past the part where the divine visitors came to Abraham’s camp, but I did see the Asian Ninja angel, LOL. Diversity must have been a big trend even then. :)
I did like the forbidding beauty of the ark plunging around in the floodwaters, but I doubt it leaked as badly as shown. Noah covered that thing with pitch, and the whole enterprise was made with the grace of God.
And don’t forget about the PC angels, one being a chinese ninja, and the other being a black angel. Samson is also black. But the ninja angel was the strangest.

The ninja angels made us laugh too, but overall, the production is very good. I thought Saul was excellent.
Overall, this is a victory for us. If Hollyweird tries to cash in, I’m afraid of getting “conflicted” Moses and PC Jesus.
