Review of Noah

Noah (2014)
9/10
For a long time a magnificent performance by Russell Crowe
19 April 2014
I admit: when I first heard that there would be a movie about Noah I rolled my eyes. Even when I saw the trailer, I didn't get interested. I'm not a religious person, so the problem wasn't that the director would shame the biblical story. I was worried because I didn't believe that anyone could put life on Noah's character, that old good uncle kind of character. Luckily I went to the movies and I saw that all my doubts were wrong. Russell Crowe has done great work and I sure hope that he will get rewarded for this film. His Noah is HUMAN: imperfect and selfish, and the way Russell Crowe expresses his changing feelings... It was so good to see him acting so multiple feelings, not just stone faced warrior stuff. The story was better than I had expected so I don't have problems with that. Of course some scenes were too much( the have to be religious stuff) and I loved that the director was brave enough to test this ancient story's borders. But my stars come for Russell's acting. I enjoyed this film and it has been a while when I had to watch the movie so excited wondering what will happen next(even when I knew there would be a happy ending). So If you are a Russell Crowe fan and you're not too religious person, go see this movie.
