+8 Internets | Are you talking about the version with Milla Jolovitch? Because I really liked that film. Thought it was great. Dustin Hoffman as "God" is winsauce.

+8 Internets | Morgan Freeman is a good god, yes, but he was also in the shitpile known as Evan Almighty.

| I couldnt finish watching it any of the 3 or 4 times I've tried .... the ending of the movie just did not keep my interest. Maybe they needed to shorten that part out. However, it was pretty good from the begining until just a little after she was captured. |

| Dustin Hoffman doesn't play God in that movie, merely "The Voice of Conscience" To be fair, his performance there still sucks though.

| If this is the one with Milla Jovovich, I thought it was terribly directed, and that Milla's screeching histrionics almost completely negated the goodwill generated by her hot body.

| I thought the TV series of Joan of Arc (I can't remember her name) was much better. It was like 3 or 6 hours long. But, I liked how realistic The Messenger was.
