Here’s some comments, quoting from some threads ...
The movie is a very faithful adaptation. Of course the movie takes ‘artistic license’ with the story of Noah, but you have to realize the biblical story of Noah is so short that if you stuck to it 100% you’d have maybe 15 minutes of movie, with massive plotholes. Aronofsky creates a beautiful Biblical adaptation and absolutely stays true to the spirit of the story. I hope more people realize this and form their own opinions, rather than parroting opinions from hateful people who haven’t even seen the movie. Also, God, i.e, “The Creator”, is mentioned all the time, so I have no idea where that criticism came from. Go see it. You’ll like it.
Great movie. Saw it this morning. Be sure to read what most evangelicals ignore “This movie was INSPIRED by the biblical account of Noah”. Absolutely great special effects and Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly should be nominated for academy awards.
I have not seen Divergent or Noah….I want to see Divergent eventually. I never wanted to see Noah at all, but feel I must be missing out as everyone is flocking to see it so I might have to break down and see it. It looked boring to me but the constant marketing from Free Republic and other conservatives are making it too enticing to pass up so we will see.

AND ... I could get some more comments that go on like this and Freepers recommending it, even though they’ve clearly been shown it’s a PROPAGANDA PIECE. These were the easiest to grab.
I’d agree this is overlooking the larger green and irreverent message by parties (still a distinct minority) who aren’t looking for the morals to the story. If anything should have morals, the bible should, and any faithful parallel will attempt to have the same morals.
That’s why I said a few weeks. Not everybody is on top of this puppy yet.

...can I ask an obvious question...why are you so obsessed with what people think about a movie...?
