Okay sooooo

What the heck was this movie supposed to be about?

Yeah I laughed at the end but I'm always cracking up during religious movies because it's always about people who never listen to God and get their butts kicked. Ya just can't wait til the 'God kicks booty' part of the flick.

I sat there for about 2 hours watching a man being beaten and tortured and murdered for no reason explainable by the storytelling.

I guess you have to read the book.

Some neato historical goodies though. Yet where there was authenticity in one area it lacked in another. Having extensively studied in theology there was more that a film like this needed yet I guess it was budget restraints.

Visually, if I had just walked in from the farm and had never read the scriptures nor heard the story this movie's storytelling says this:

Some scared guy living in the woods gets into a sword fight and he has superpowers to make people's ears grow back. Then a bunch of weirdly dressed people who look like 'Chef Kings' argue with a bunch of poor people and they all agree to beat the heck out of the dude with superpowers. Then Sinead O'Connor shows up in a black cloak and a few 'Exorcist' scary stuff happens and then a building falls apart.

It needed a prologue and an epilogue. I was expecting 'Yoda' to show up at the end and do battle or something.

Disappointing.

I think I'll go rent "The Ten Commandments" and see some real 'wrath of God' stuff.

btw I didn't see 'God' in the credits.

Do you think they'll have an outtake reel on the DVD with Woody and Buzz showing up for yuks?
