My review of Noah starring Russel Crowe as a non-religious movie that will make you want to believe

(Cross posted by author from the Daily Kos)

(Electronic America media group at the Daily Kos) The film Noah is the number one rated box office movie at $125 million dollars, which is banned in Qatar, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates, and expected to be banned in some other countries as well. It is a non-religious movie that was inspired by the biblical tale of how Noah was called upon by God to build the Ark in preparation for a global flood, the plot as such requires no further introduction.

This film however it is NOT a strict version at all of what some people believe is taken from the biblical tale. It does take some artistic license, because the intent is merely to provide an entertainment movie and make money while entertaining people. The leading character Noah is played by none other than...yes you guessed it, Russell Crowe who comes forth as the strong silent type. He played in the top rated film Gladiator which established Crowe's on-screen tough guy persona as being someone you don't want to mess with. Noah of course is a larger than life role that any actor must grow into. This includes Russel Crowe who must compete for viewer attention with mind numbing special effects which are seldomly seen on screen and in cinema with that authentic wow reaction that we all had the first time we saw Jurassic Park, but the wows keep coming as the film is given an authentic feeling of under the fingernail deeply embedded very coarse shades of gray, grit and grim throughout this action packed often with violent frenetic and occasionally romantic moments.

It looks like the biggest stinking, laughable mess imaginable. I thought the same thing when I saw the trailer for Aronofsky's for Black Swan: it looked completely idiotic. I refuse to pay money for this stuff; in fact, I wouldn't watch it for free.
