Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

briggnalle The Prince of Egypt was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and my opinion, one of the top three Dreamworks movies. It tells the story of Moses in it's own beautiful artstyle and storyline depicted of his time before he was called to deliver the Hebrew People from the Egyptians. The music and songs were always intense and I still enjoyed it even when I grew up. The beauty and intense emotion delivered by these 2-D characters brings about a magic that any and all ages can enjoy. As said in the description above, you don't have to be a Christian or religious at all to enjoy this movie. The Prince of Egypt has some of the most powerful artwork and depictions of family and friends including what it means to be an ordinary man who with the help of God can do extraordinary things. The Prince of Egypt is not a perfect film and like any film telling a biblical story or anything religious at all, it never will be. But it is still an enjoyable experience that I plan to share with my children for years to come and show them just what Dreamworks was capable of back then.

AndrewHeaney1 When it comes to talking about DreamWorks films, most people tend to think of the 3D-animated film franchises, like How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek, and Kung Fu Panda. And while I do think those are good film franchises as well (I personally adore both HTTYD films and regard them as excellent films as well), I do not think any of them reach the level of DreamWorks' 2D-animated film, one of their first films, The Prince of Egypt.I think this is an underrated masterpiece, and is absolutely my all-time favorite animated movie. I'll even go to say it's one of my favorite films of all time.I cannot find a single element of the film that is less than stellar.The animation is gorgeous. Dare I say it's some of the best 2D animation I've ever seen.The voice acting is phenomenal on all fronts. Even some actors that could have potentially been distracting, like Steve Martin and Martin Short as the two Egyptian priests, work very well.The characters are all identifiable and complex. Moses and his family are all likable and charismatic. Even the villain, Rhamses II (voiced by the wonderful Ralph Fiennes) is very sympathetic and is one of my favorite interpretations of the famous character.The story (based on the Book of Exodus) is adapted beautifully. I have read the story of Exodus many times, and while there are changes and creative leaps to the story, they are inserted into places that the Bible does not touch on. What I mean by this is that there are things added in that are in places that the Bible skips over, and I think this is brilliant.The music is undoubtedly phenomenal. The burning bush scene where God speaks to Moses (one of my favorite movie moments of all time) has one of the most soothing, lovely melodies I've heard in my life.One more thing to add: I did not grow up with this film, and I still cannot recommend it more. Honestly, I never even heard about it until my mid teen years.Of course, the rating is an 10/10 from me. If you haven't seen the movie, go see it as soon as you can.

dissident320 Apparently the Netflix version of this is based off of scans of the 35mm film rather than an actual digital master. Despite that, this movie still holds up visually. I think it looks spectacular and you can appreciate how much effort was put into making it.The voice cast is fine, although I somewhat question the decision to have Val Kilmer as Moses. There's something a little goofy about his brother being voiced by Ralph Fiennes that I couldn't get behind. I think him being British and much more noble sounding and then Val Kilmer just sounding like himself. I will say this movie is guilty of not really getting performances out of excellent actors. The majority of them just sound like themselves and aren't really doing much beyond saying their lines. And the songs need to be mentioned as well. Most of them are fun and have a very Disney-vibe. I believe Ralph Fiennes sings his parts but for some reason Val Kilmer is dubbed by someone with a bland but I guess more traditional singing voice. Because obviously he can sing as he has shown in previous movies such as 'Top Secret' and 'The Doors'.As far as the story goes, I guess it mostly follows the biblical one. I haven't read the bible and I'm not familiar with much of this besides the burning bush and parting the sea. It plays out okay but doesn't really surprise or lean into the brother rivalry in a sophisticated way.This movie is completely worth seeing just for the visuals alone. An absolute shame that it has not been given a proper Blu-ray release. But the Netflix version is decent and doesn't rob you of too much of what it probably looked like in the theatre.

Ersbel Oraph A movie to support the indoctrination of young children into Bible fanaticism. And as to believe that you have to avoid reading the original text, this is a good example to give to the children. No gore, no sex, just as God intended to do the Bible and somehow forgot.Or in short: nobody can get close to Disney, so Dream Works has to feed niche markets in order to get some extra ticket sales and DVD rentals.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
