15. This movie looks way better then the other Biblical movie out

Mar 2014

The people at my church think that movie Son of God or what ever it is called is just the best movie, so beautiful ... Of course I opened my mouth and added my two cents, to say it wasn't received well, would be an understatement. I told them that movie looked like a cheesy B movie from the 1950's. Why would I waste 10$ on something that looks like it was produced by the Hallmark channel?

Then I went on to say Noah looks a lot better. The fundies have already done a great job trashing this movie. I say that because all the bad things I have read and heard those people say about this movie was repeated to me as the reasons why Noah was bad and cheesy B 50's movie was better.

I went on to say that from only viewing the previews of both films, Noah looks more real. I also said that if you are doing a Biblical historic type movie I want the film to be more authentic and Jesus would look more like bin Laden then a white male model. This movie looks no better then The Greatest Story Ever Told.

I concluded by saying that I'm tired of being milked for money. Just because this movie is about something in the Bible doesn't mean I have to like it or buy into it. The Son of God movie is the movie industry making a killing on gullible people.
