Lack of good storyline.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I love Ridley Scott and his vision. A big production that lost elements of the story. Mistaken juxtaposition, bits and pieces felt passionate, as is Mr Scott's usual storytelling. Mismatched, plenty of holes, character development fail. The actors weren't genuine to their roles. Felt all over the place. My reveiw pretty much sums up my discombobulated view, broken. Was it the way it was edited? Love Christian Bale for all of his other roles. Perhaps Moses would have been better cast with someone unknown. Or lesser known. Just a thought.

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.

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.

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.
