Are films this bad a sin?

2014 was a terrible year for the Bible. In that one year two of the worst biblical epics ever were unleashed on the public: Noah and Exodus: Gods and Kings. It would be very hard to say which film was more absurd and boring, but either could turn you into an atheist. Noah showed just how unlikely it was that one man could build the ark and round up all the creatures in the world, or why. And it gave  the very serious Russell Crowe one of the worst roles of his career. Exodus: Gods and Kings tried to give some logic to the story of Moses and failed miserably but did offer Christian Bale the very worst role of his career. At least Russell was recognizable, but Christian was so scraggly and whispery through the entire film, it could have been anybody. The big question is why inconsistent directors like Darren Aronofsky and Ridley Scott are handed the reins of these multi-million dollar epics. I guess their tepid efforts are profit making if not incredibly entertaining. Every Easter for decades the networks have run Cecile B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments. Why? Because people still watch it because it's exciting. I don't think many people will be rewatching either the nonsensical Noah or the seemingly endless Exodus: Gods and Kings.
