ShangLuda Admirable film.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

davidvpcol 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

rdeyeking I've read the bible narrative and other books that parallel the biblical account and I was hoping to see the updated modern version of the 1965 movie The 10 Commandments. But that was soon dashed to the ground as Ridley Scott seemed to make great effort to corrupt the story with additions so wildly off based like depicting God as an angry vindictive child. I was almost shocked that kept the plagues in the movie or that the Hebrews were even let go by Ramses. Yeah it's one of those type of movies that takes such creative freedom with the story that the True account known by so many is lost sight of. An opportunity was missed by Mr.Scott to make a great classic if he just stayed with the story as told in scripture. I would never recommend anyone waste 2 hrs of their life sitting and watching this story cause not only has it been falsified but the acting in it is bland and sadly one dimensional.

cmcastl Ridley Scott has never made a bad looking film but he has seldom made an excellent one. Several reasons, including: * He seems incapable of discriminating between a bad script and a good script. * He is dependent upon the casting.But this was a film worth watching. It caught the majesty, simultaneously barbaric and spiritual, of its Biblical source.The script was variable but had its moments.But what let this film down was the total miscasting of Christian Bale who showed no depth in the role of Moses, at all. Charlton Heston was more nuanced in the Ten Commandments and Charlton Heston was not noted of being a nuancing actor! But the film, for those of us interested in the Bible, was still worth watching for its production values, some powerfully mystic moments, such as the falling star precipitating the parting of the Red Sea, and the utterly gorgeous Maria Valverde as Moses' wife Zipporah.

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.
