Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
I've never written a movie review before, but had to do so for this one, for the sheer principle. This movie is one of, if not the worst, depiction of any Bible narrative I have ever seen. The inaccuracies in this movie are almost immeasurable in comparison to the real Bible narrative of Moses and the Exodus. There is such a thing as poetic license and then there is just straight Hollywood pablum. If you are a Christian and love the beautiful story of Moses and the Exodus and have yet to see this movie, please don't waste your time or intelligence. If you are not a Christian, this comes nowhere near depicting the events of the story of Moses in the Bible. If you are still inclined to watch this horrible abomination, read the book of Exodus in the Bible first, then you will see how terribly skewed this depiction is.
..andt failed...the main problem is, it isn't easy to put modern dialog into ancient Egypt. This telling lacks any real depth, and feels wooden as a result.Ridley Scott tried to project the majestic panorama of Egypt, and the collosal wonders, but stopped short of making the canvas live...I really can't go on, this telling of the bible is frankly poorly done, and the old Charleton Heston version far outshines it into obscurity...
The writers took was one of the most recognized and repeated stories in the Bible and totally butchered it. There were so many egregious things in this film is hard to know where to start. The legs were presented out of order and totally out of context. Perhaps the most ridiculous and disturbing part of the film was substituting a young child for the Burning Bush, a.k.a. the voice of God, who has a running conversation with Moses which made no sense whatsoever.It is one thing to take a few artistic liberties. In this epic disaster, they added events that never existed anywhere in any retelling of the Exodus story such as a group of Hebrew resistance fighters which Moses trained himself.The acting was awful and the dialogue was even worse. The actor who played Ramses could have mailed in his performance. It was the most underwhelming portrayal of a central character in the story that I had ever seen. At least Christian Bale can act when he has to. However, the only thing that this movie got correct about Moses was the retelling of his birth and how he was placed in a basket and sent downstream on the River Nile to the Pharaoh's Palace, etc.. Everything else that was important to the story of Moses was left out such as the staff he carried with him at all times and replaced it with the gold Egyptian sword that he had received as an adopted son of Pharaoh.Do yourself a favor and "pass over" this film.
Bad acting, bad lines and no emotion. Now I know why Egypt banned this movie: to save the time and money of Egyptians
