Calm down my Gothic emo kids excited that your wannabe cult flick resulted in another poor victim that "just couldn't handle it", there's quite a further reason why: It was terrible.
That's right, this is a 30min review. I'm ignorant, didn't watch the whole thing, don't care to know the ending, and glad to know I wasn't like a prior poster that lost Xmins of their life.
Well, actually, since I can't review it, here's my reasons why I'd convince people to avoid it:
-Burton's little goth thing has lost its appeal. His dead white faces are about as original as Tarantino's plot placements. May as well use black and white film if you're gonna desaturate it that much, but oh, need color for the blood! -The blood looked completely fake. Japanese ninja b-films have better effects. In fact, the dubbed dialog in those films are better too. -Script? I mean lyrics... In fact, in the 30mins I watched, that was around 28-29mins singing, with a 30sec musical interlude between scene changing. Can't say I'm a huge musical fan, but, really? Is constant singing necessary? Oliver! is one of my favorite movies, every song is memorable and fitting, and easy to see a good musical over one of the worst movies I've ever seen. -Ever notice how the only people to recommend this movie are people you'd normally encounter at the local Hot Topic? "Misunderstood people" that only a singing zombie could impress. Scoff the normality of society as you consume Todd's tees, stickers, dolls, and dvds, heh. Seems to be a rarity that an average film lover would enjoy this (let alone feels it earns such a high IMDb rank). Hell, even the followers of the older version have their deeper knit picking against this movie. With such a fine fan base it should be obvious whether or not you'll enjoy this movie.
*Only other movie shut off was King of the Ants, if you've seen either one all the way through, you have earned my respect and an award of many sorts.

There's a common consistency with Christians and "fishing for men(children, really)" that cracks me up. Whenever there's an attempt to copy, it fails. This is seen in movies, video games, music, and TV shows. It's beyond me how a religion expects to dopplegang a popular thing and make it suitable for their morales. As stated, many times before, shows like Veggie Tales sell--both monetarily and morally. This is due to originality... To summarize: Christian copy = FAIL Christian originality = SUCCESS
That said, "Bibleman" fits in the prior. It's a garbage copy of a copy. It spins off other children's shows, and doesn't bring anything further to the table. The plots are lacking creativity, the messages are mixed, the characters are terrible, the edit job is comedic, and the sets are a B-film joke.
I don't want to knock any of the "values" or "ideas" expressed in some of the episodes. This is a children's show, and not meant to become a forum for non-Christians to retort (which is hard, lol). I find it funny that religious trollers lurk to the Da Vinci Code/Golden Compass/ETC. boards and rant hopelessly, and this comment list is filled with the exact same thing (in an opposite fashion), so forget it.
My recommendation to the Christian parent: Check it out and pick it up (I'm sure it's cheap). As other parents stated before, it does have the values you're looking for. Nonetheless, don't expect anything fantastic, like more mainstream religious entertainment.
My recommendation to the rest of us: Watch this. Not for its values or purpose, but for the sheer morbid love for terrible shows. If your one of those people that "knock" at things for the comedy of failure, this is for you. I'm sure it'll spark a blog or youtube video of all sorts.
