My daughter saw this movie before I did and told me that she fell asleep, so I was hesitant to see it and didn't go the first week. Yet I was not disappointed. This movie was funny when it needed to be, and action packed at other times. It's subplot was palpable and more importantly made sense. The main plot seemed a little obvious as to it's immediate resolution in the movie but even though you knew it was coming you had several places where they could've put it so it kept me guessing. Unfortunately, the writers got a little lazy and allowed convenience to enter the movie a couple of key times. My biggest problem was that I wished they'd have done even more with the speed guy, you'll see what I mean.
I'm a Christian which has nothing to do with my review of this horrible horrible movie. To merely state that it's inaccurate is to state the obvious. But to have no credibility whatsoever, only resembling the true story in that the guys name was Noah is more to the point. News Flash, who knew that Noah was a martial arts expert, schooled obviously in Shaolin style Kung Fu. Surely not I. Nothing about this movie made any sense. Even if I hadn't known the true biblical account, this movie just threw things together for the obvious point of trying to advance a story, and I use the term "story" very very loosely. The writers of this nonsense should be banned from ever doing work in Hollywood again, the producers stripped naked and run through the streets of LA throwing out refund money to all patrons that sat through this cocophony of manufactured feces. Shame on Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins for appearing in this travesty, the only excuse would have to be that they never saw the product or read the script save for their own parts and certainly never saw the finished product.
I enjoyed this movie although there was quite a bit that was a little to "convenient" so the story lacked a little credibility, if it's appropriate to say that about a movie about a giant monster. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it. In spite of what the professional critics had to say. I'm glad that I chose to ignore them and see it anyway. The ending was especially good, and as was the twist on the original story. I do feel that there was quite a bit that was added a filler material which shows a lack of creativity. It's kinda like they wrote the story around the ending, having written it first. Some things didn't quite add up for me in the story as well. But all in all a fun movie.
