Are the Rock Monsters (Watchers) in the movie Noah biblically accurate?

I just watched the excellent documentary Noah on Saturday and while I know it was mostly biblically accurate I don't recall ever reading about rock monsters in the bible.

Update:

@ mark h "They look more like Transformers to me." That is actually what I thought when I first saw them. Until they moved. Are there transformers in the bible?

    No, there are no transformers mentioned in the bible. , I unfortunately wasted my money seeing this pathetic movie. The Noah movie did have rock monsters called "watchers". The part of the movie that was biblcally accurate was that the watchers were described as "fallen angels". The discrepancy is that the movie did not mention that the fallen angels mated with human women and their offspring, as named in the bible were a group called Nephilim. Noah, his wife, his three sons and there wives (8 of them) were not cross breeds, but pure human. God wanted to destroy this polluted human cross breeding and save only those 8..

    Here is what it says in Genesis Chapter 6 Verses 4-8 - (4) The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. (5) The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. (6) The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. (7) So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” (8) But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. The problem with this movie was that God was out to destroy the fallen angels. The movie flipped the biblical story upside down by showing them helping Noah when the Ark was being invaded.

    The other big flaw in the movie was that all three sons Shem, Ham and Japeth all had wives. I knew completely that this movie was whack was when Noah denied a wife for Ham First read Genesis Chapter 6, Verses 9-10 - (9) This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. (10) Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. Now read Genesis Chapter 7 Verse 13 - (13) On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark.

    You can see from the bible that all three sons had wives,

    Why did the Noah movie alter the script so much? Well for starters, the director Darren Aronofskyis is a self-professed atheist. Also as a youth, he trained as a field biologist with The School for Field Studies in Kenya in 1985 and Alaska in 1986. He attended school in Kenya to pursue an interest in learning about ungulates (hoofed mammals) He later said, "The School for Field Studies changed the way I perceived the world". (Wikipedia). So basically you have a guy who is an atheist and an animal lover direct a major motion picture to create his own environmental agenda at the expense of biblical accuracy. Did you catch onto the fact that Noah was more interested in saving the animals than his family? Really? Is that the will of God? Do you remember in the movie Noah (Russell Crowe) wanted to kill Shem's twin babies? Now read the following from the bible that totally contradicts all of this nonsense. The following is how God gave Noah the animals and dominion over them, and that they were to be used for (meat, clothing, eggs, milk,etc...) So read Genesis Chapter 9 Verses 1-3 - (1) Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. (2) The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. (3) Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

    So you can plainly see that this movie was directed by an atheist with an environmental agenda in which the director wanted all people (Noah's family) to die and for the animals to live on without people. Absolute rubbish. When you read the entire bible you know that it is a collection of 66 books that all point towards God's continuous desire to reconnect back with mankind. After sin entered the world back from the time of Adam and Eve, that sin has man separated from a holy and perfect God. Man in his inperfection cannot be in the presence of God, That is why God became man in the form of Jesus, who then died for all of man's sin, as long as each individual asks God for forgiveness and accepts Jesus as the sacrifice for their sins.. This movie is a massive perversion of that story on the basis that Noah was trying to kill Shem's twin babies. There are many other problems with the movie biblically,but the main two are that there are no transformers, only the offspring of humans and fallen angels, and that Noah's son each had a wife aboard the ark.

    1) It's not a documentary any more than Harry Potter is a documentary.

    2) They're not part of the Bible but the Jewish book of Enoch

    'They’re actually mentioned in the Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish religious text traditionally ascribed to Noah’s great-grandfather. That script, estimated to have been written in multiple stages from 300 B.C. on, never made the Biblical canon, though the authors of the New Testament were surely aware of it.'

    No if is a foolish myth. You should have nothing to do with it. If you want to understand Revelation you should find a history book about what was happening at the time it was written. It is an apocalypse about current conditions at the time it was written not a prophetic book about the remote future. Rev 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place; and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John It says soon take place.

    Honestly, if you want to know the true answer to your question, I would read the account of Noah in the Bible. That's where you will get the most accurate answer. I too have seen the movie; however, I walked out in the middle of it. Some of it was accurate, but most of it was filled with just stuff to draw people into seeing it. Lots of stuff was made up. So, go find the answer for yourself! Genesis chapters 6-9

    Very little about the Noah movie was biblically accurate. I still astonishes me that CBN endorsed it.

    There were monsters in Noah's day called Nephilim. The only pure humans left were Noah and his family. God didn't create this earth for them but for humans. See this website that has pictures and explanations for all of it including where these monsters come from etc.

    God caused the flood to get rid of these monsters and their offspring.

    If you are speaking of the movie, I have not seen it but my grandson, a full time minister, did and told me there were 3 things in it from the bible. There was a man called Noah, he got drunk at one point, and there was a flood. The rest was nonsense.

    While it's true that some t.v. programs are better at informing and portraying than catalogs, literature in themselves are a getaway. Personally, i would have a publication over t.v.
