Review – The Bible

Thank goodness they only make it through Genesis (and even so only as far as the Abraham and Isaac sacrifice). If Dino DeLaurentiis and John Huston had actually tried to do the whole book, they’d probably still be shooting it. The Noah’s Ark sequence alone seems like it takes the full 40 days and 40 nights to unfold (plus Huston plays both Noah and the voice of God, so he ends up talking to himself). In a way it’s fun to see some long-familiar stories given epic Hollywood treatment. On the other hand, the original print versions are generally more edifying. Mildly amusing
