I don't think I heard one "complaint" about the inaccuracy. I will say that the story would have been better had they stuck to the bible fantasy.

What JW beliefs did you used to hate trying to defend?

by DuvanMuvan in

as one of the jw "young ones" i was always expected to witness to my friends at school if i wanted to make god's heart glad or whatever but i didn't.

the closest i ever got was just explaining why we didn't celebrate christmasetc.

even then i was just reciting things i read in publications.. one topic i always tried to avoid talking about was birthdays.

watson

Blood.

But, "birthdays" is really the silliest of them all.

Thanks for the review Terry.

Although I respect your intellect, I whole heartedly disagree with your take on this one.

As a non fundamentalist, I think the story in the bible is pretty incredible, and could have been told as is, or close. Some liberties with the story, fine, some brutality, gore, some blue filters on the lense, but come on...why not just call him "Bill", and write your own story.

Other than that, the movie was poorly cast. (I like Jennifer Connelly, but wrong. Love Anthony Hopkins, but what a waste of talent).

CGI was horrible.

I still advise to not waste your time on this one. Wait till it comes out on DVD if you just can't resist.
