I must say that this part of the movie review disturbs me. When I saw that the reviewer gave the movie 3.5 out of 5 to begin with, I was taken aback. I would say at a minimum most people give this movie 4+ stars, sometimes even 5, so I knew something was up.

Now, this is totally a guess here, but I feel the reviewers religious beliefs in the bible and Christianity has gotten in the way of agnostic review. He's let his personal beliefs in religion, and his feels about a scene in general, get to him to the point where he likes the movie less. As a viewer he has the right to do that, but as a reviewer he needs to try and look beyond those feelings and judge the movie as a whole for what it is. It's like giving the movie "Shoot Em Up" a bad review because it has killing and you don't believe in that; It's a review that probably doesn't hold up the majority of the publics opinion.

Anyway, I had to get that off my chest. I know many of you will disagree with me, but I found the last paragraph more of a preach rather than review.

Well Review of the movie itself is a personnal thing. I mean my friend would give a 9/10 to Reservoir Dog, while i would give a 4 because i find it incridibly boring, but the actor are doing a fine job for acting..
