Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

fitchmunk 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.

pack_fan_dave Ridley Scott completely went off the actual story in creating this movie that does not even come close to the story in scriptures. If you are looking for a movie that tells the story as told in scripture this is not it.

szweda-18555 When I was a kid they took us to London to see what was the most amazing film I had ever seen up to that point I think - The Greatest Story Ever Told and it was one of those in "Cinerama", massively wide curved screen etc. I knew the story but was bowled away by the action on screen - yes indeed, the Old Testament could be action-packed fun. This weekend we watched Ridley Scott's take on the Old Testament on our mighty plasma TV and it looked great but of course lacked the impact of that ancient movie. Times change, we get inured to the special, novelties all too rapidly become a given on life's ratchet. Without giving the game away even though most know the story from Sunday School, I thought it was well done, well acted, well photographed etc. It ticked all the boxes but somehow fell short. It seemed like a sequence of alternate flash and dialogue, talking exposition then crash bang wallop or is that how all movies are made these days? Plus of course, we have LOTR and GoT to poison the well of our expectations... and for me another attempt to get my head around Scott's Alien Covenant and failing. Unlike Gladiator I doubt we shall be buying the Box Set and rewatching Exodus.

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.
