Noah - AVForums Review

[Phil Hinton]

Cas Harlow gets all Old Testament about Aronofsky's flawed but visionary take on Noah

 

[lucasisking]

Gripping review Cas; you make the film seem like and extremely tempting controversial treat. I am one of those people you mention in the second part of your review; a conscionable atheist with a disdain for the vulgarities and cruelties of the OT. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, I'll find it hard to ignore this movie. Besides, I love a good fantasy epic.

Looking forward to it .

Penultimate paragraph

I saw it last night in IMAX at the Trafford Centre. I thought it was tedious. The only thing that kept me awake was the stupidly loud soundtrack. Was there any need to have it so flippin loud? I had my fingers in my ears at the really loud bits. Thank God my IMAX tickets were freebies coz I would have been gutted to have had to pay to see the film

I saw this there other night and didn't think it was very good, i wouldn't pay for this film but we all like different things , now the quiet ones, that was a brilliant film worth watching

 

[True Romance]

Watched this last night on blu-ray all I can say is don't make the same mistake.

9/10 for PQ
8/10 for SQ
2/10 for the film.

I thought this movie wasn't very good at all. 5/10

 

[QuestShield]

Thought it quite good, some superb visuals.
You're right about Emma Watson whilst showing some passable acting in this movie I would still say she is the female equivalent of Orlando Bloom.

 

[lucasisking]

Well I really liked it- with caveats. Its ironic that DA will undoubtedly have taken some massive monotheistic flak for going in the direction that he did- peronally I'd only criticise him for not going even further.

Reviewed it here
What film are you watching tonight/watched last night??? | Page 73 | AVForums and again I find myself in much agreement with Cas

 

[Solomon Grundy]

Terrible. Boring story with some kind of rock based transformers involved and CGI twin babies toward the end. I didn't spot any pandas among the animals either which was a huge mistake on the directors part because everyone knows that pandas are brilliant. Emma Watson is hilariously bad. 3/10.

 

[QuestShield]

Emma Watson is hilariously bad.

Yeah she was appalling in it on reflection (I said passable above). They could have picked a randomer of the street and she'd have put in a better performance than Watson.
