It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
If you thought all Moses movies were bored, stop right there because you will love this film. The background of Moses is shown in a different way, having the director filling the blanks of the Bible. No passage is changed, but the add-ons of the director makes this story so interesting you will want to repeat it. The relation between God, Moses, Ramses, and the Jewish people is taken to a different level
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.
It may seem unreasonable to expect viewers that are watching a movie about a Bible story that is very well known and believed by so many to forget what they know about the Bible's version of the story...But this is Hollywood, exaggeration and creativity freedom should be expected and this movie is no exception as it is an interpretation of what was written in the Bible with some parts completely made up by the writers of the movie.Ridley Scott knows how to do epic movies and this one proves it again! Beautiful scenery, great camera-work (taking us closer to the action) with glorious sound and special effects! Although I personally believe this was a missed opportunity to show what the Bible tells us (hence why I don't give it 10 out of 10), the story portrayed in the movie is still amazing, and the way all actors and director did their job make this movie an enjoyable one (regardless of personal faith).
Pretty good movie in my opinion. But what I don't get is this a Christian/Jewish movie, or an anti-Christian/Jewish movie? Because Jesus Christ, that Hebrew god is just a major asshole, having him portrayed as a small kid doesn't help, it just makes it worse, like humanity is his plaything.I know the biblical story is pretty rough as well, like many things in the old testament, but they could have done a few things to make god seem a bit more sympathetic. I ended up rooting for the Egyptians at the end as a result.
