Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
cinephile-27690 Why do people make inaccurate movies without warnings? Deut. 4:2 says "Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the LORD your God that I give you." So why does Moses's son hate him? Why does he marry into a Jewish family before he is and then his family turns on him? That's all I remember because it was forgettable. The best Moses movie in my opinion is the animated The Prince of Egypt and there is The Ten Commandments, Moe and the Big Exit, The Greatest Adventure:Moses, and the 1 hour Charlton Heston video. These are all 1,000,000 times better than this. Ridley Scott also directed Thelma and Louise and Gladiator, which are also WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than this. Skip this and watch any of the movies I mentioned in here!
rdoliva What in tarnation was ol' Ridley Scott thinking?Why turn a biblical story into a movie and then ditch the bible to just play with the characters in some sort of alternate universe? I'll leave that question to for Mr. Scott, as i have no idea whatsoever. Every main character in this film seems to be out of place and aware of it. While the special effects are impressive, the story makes no sense. This head-scratcher of a movie is just terrible. Even the casting is a mystery. Why Christian Bale? What was Sigourney Weaver supposed to contribute via her talent with the scarce screen time given to her? Same goes for John Turturro. Talented actors not given enough time to shine.If it turned out that this script was written on toilet paper, in 15 minutes while taking a dump at the mall i would understand what happened here.Mr. Ridley Scott, you are far better than this. Remember that.
uncsbuddy91 I loved most of the story line, and I could look past the battle training montage, but they screwed up the most epic scene. I would have added this movie to my collection, but it is called the *parting* of the Red Sea, not the "refilling" of the Red Sea. How do you mess that up???? They had the special effects budget to create the parting, and it would've been a great movie. But noooooo, they had to completely fictionalize that scene. I was so disappointed and disgusted by that.
Erik P An excellent film. It was beautifully filmed,acted and written. Christian Bale was a fulfilling choice as moses. Christians seem to be getting upity because it doesn't fit how they see the story. Scott did an amazing job of balancing between making the events seem real and plausible,and even making us wonder if Moses was really talking to God or whether it was his mind, against the events as told in the bible. Original,inspiring and beautiful.
