I'm not sure what the controversy is with the recently-released film Noah, unless it's controversial that it's not all that great a film. It's a story loosely based on the Bible and it features big name actors, but other than that, it's about a grade C film. I actually laughed when "The Watchers" reared up out of the rock masses because we had just seen a coming attraction about Transformers, which is what the Watchers did from the rock masses: they transformed into creatures with faces, arms, legs, and torsos.
Anyone who attends a screening of this film while expecting it to be the Biblical story is going to be disappointed; anyone who attends a screening of this film and expects an action/adventure treatment is going to be disappointed; anyone who attends a screening of this film and expects an epic of Biblical proportions is going to be disappointed.

I haven't seen the movie, but the trailers make it look like they used more of the Torah and Qu'ran versions of the Noah flood myth than the one in the Christian Bible.
Especially the Qu'ran version, as it has a much more active, preachy, and combative Noah (who is one of the top-tier prophets in the Qu'ran).
Probably will wait for video on this one.
