This was the worst christian movie I ever reviewed
This was the worst christian movie I ever reviewed. It has no sound biblical reference as illustrated in the book of Exodus. Ridley Scott took far too many liberties and the acts of Moses are not as illustrated in the Bible. After I reviewed the movie, I placed it in my recycle bin. It was was not worthy of recycling, therefore, I threw it in the trash. Again, read the book of Exodus and don't bother to purchase this item. It is far removed from the scriptures.If I could write a review with no stars. This movie/DVD would receive no stars. Read the book of Exodus and get a true depiction of the story of Moses!

This movie is ridiculous. This is not biblically sound. Basically they take a story from the Bible and change it drastically so that it does NOT reflect the true story. Details in scripture are there for a reason they all have a deeper spiritual message so when we change the details to fit our narrative or propaganda you loose any revelation. It is also a sin to change God's word, my reason stated above is most likely why we have that commandment.

You know, with all the money they spent on this movie, the LEAST they could have done was READ the REAL STORY. I mean really, portraying God as a bratty child? Moses, the meekest man ever, portrayed as a warrior?We stomached through it and literally started making jokes like, "Let's see if MOSES actually writes on the stone tablets".... sure enough, there he is, chiseling away. This was just dumb.What a shame. The writers should be embarrassed. And Ridley Scott?? Bad form dude.

Not biblically sound
Every time Hollyweird attempts to make a biblical story, into a movie, it nothing like the bible's description. The only movie done close to bible account was Mel Gibson's The Passion. I can't wait for the sequel, it was mentioned that it will blow people away!I wish, that more true followers of the LORD that are in this business would have more input, in bible history, and would help these Directors, and producers with the truth to the actuality of the bible stories, and how it actually happened One movie I would hope one day they produce, is the book of Revelation, with all the technology and special effects , they can make an awesome movie, to show what's coming upon the earth.in the near future. Hope Mel Gibson, would consider a movie base on the book of Revelation.

... released I recollect that the reviews weren't all that good. But
When the movie was released I recollect that the reviews weren't all that good. But, I really like Christian Bale as an actor and The Exodus is a tremendous story. So, I gave it a try. I was pleasantly pleased. I thought the actor playing Rameses II did his role well. The costumes etc. were all quite well done also. De Mille's "The Ten Commandments" probably was closer to what is said in the Bible. This was an enjoyable movie, however, and I would recommend it.

God as Enemy or Friend, You Get to Choose...
Exodus has long been one of my favorite books in the Old Testament, and Moses my favorite character. I enjoyed the character's gradual transformation as he learns to trust in his God. I also like that they portrayed God as a child. What's important about this to me is that a child is not threatening. In reality, people have an innate and unhealthy fear of the living God. What better way to come to us than as a defenseless, helpless child. This makes it possible for us to approach him with less fear--as Christian Bale's character eventually did--and found himself in a real friendship with the Almighty. This is art imitating one of the greatest mysteries of Christian life--that we can become intimate friends of God, like Moses. Lastly, the portrayal of marriage of Moses as a "total gift of self" was well done and beautifully so. Again, art imitating Christian life--marriage as a permanent gift of self was done well. Christian Bale did a fantastic job in this role, as did the other actor as Pharaoh.

Horrible movie, I wish I can have my money ...
Horrible movie, I wish I can have my money back, it changes most of everything of what the real exodus in the Bible is about, very boring movie , I read the exodus book in the Bible and is outstanding I couldn’t put it down until I finished it, then I was so happy to see exodus after reading it and what a disappointment I will never forget such a bad movie.

Not something I will watch repeatedly, but worth a watch.
A different take on an old story with incorporation of different versions from different beliefs. I can see why some were offended by it since it didn't adhere to any one specific (religious) version. There were parts that were glossed over with the assumption that the viewer was already familiar with some version of the story which created holes for people that didn't know more than one version of it.As an independent from the religious standpoint review, I liked it. The acting was done well enough, the sets and wardrobe more realistic than the prior versions. There was an undertone of grit and a more realistic depiction of the heat and the hellish conditions for the slaves.Overall, not bad. Not something I will watch repeatedly, but worth a watch.
