This movie has pretty good reviews and not all Christian groups hate it:
Christian reaction
Producer Scott Franklin told Entertainment Weekly, "Noah is a very short section of the Bible with a lot of gaps, so we definitely had to take some creative expression in it. But I think we stayed very true to the story and didn't really deviate from the Bible, despite the six-armed angels."[52] Several Christian organizations have expressed support for the Noah film, "including Leaders from organizations like the American Bible Society, National Catholic Register, The King's College, Q Ideas, Hollywood Prayer Network, and Focus on the Family".[53] Focus on the Family president Jim Daly stated that: "[Noah] is a creative interpretation of the scriptural account that allows us to imagine the deep struggles Noah may have wrestled with as he answered Gods call on his life. This cinematic vision of Noahs story gives Christians a great opportunity to engage our culture with the biblical Noah, and to have conversations with friends and family about matters of eternal significance."[54]
"Noah" has been the subject of controversy with some religious groups claiming the story has been inaccurately portrayed. The director, Darren Aronofsky, a self-professed atheist, made waves by touting his rendition of "Noah" as the "least biblical biblical film ever made."[55] The movie was reported by one early reviewer to have no mention of God. The directors description of Noah as the first environmentalist also did not sit well with Jerry Johnson, president of the National Religious Broadcasters, who called the films insertion of the extremist environmental agenda a major concern.[56] The push back from some religious groups prompted Paramount Pictures in February 2014 to add a disclaimer to marketing materials, saying:
"The film is inspired by the story of Noah. While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people worldwide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.

I would withhold judgement until I saw it.
Noah (A MAN OF GOD) is depicted as a psychopathic maniac. How would a movie about George Washington as a drunk, coward, sexual pervert do in today's movie market??
How do you know how he was depicted?
The guy was hearing voices telling him to build an ark. You don't think psychopathic came into play?
The bible mythology were written by primitive story tellers, now they whine the movie producers didn't follow the bible mythology as if the bible was an historical fact!! Circular reasoning
