My opinion on the movie
Just like any other Bible movie out there, there were obviously things that were different or added by the producer. It was a somewhat accurate movie, but I wouldn't say I enjoyed it. In my opinion, producers that make movies according to the Bible should follow the Bible. All in all, it wasn't my favorite.
