The Age of Commercialism

Overrated

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Looking back at how awesome the 1956 Ten Commandments movie makes me realize how great religious movies can be. You don't have to be Christian or religious to appreciate how beautiful these films can be. This, on the other hand, is the second worst depiction of the Bible I've seen in my entire life, just to "Joshua And The Promised Land". It actually makes me realize that it's been a long time since I've read my Bible. Anyway, the CGI in this film is absolutely horrendous. It looks like awful video game graphics. I look back at how old video game CGI doesn't hold up.Even then, the first CGI movies seem to hold up a lot better! Everything and everyone in this movie is so ugly to look at. I guess it's pretty faithful to the Bible. What also makes it bad is how annoying the characters are. There's this one fat guy who does nothing but complain the entire movie. I also don't like the way Moses immediately accepts the fact that he's Hebrew. "Prince Of Egypt" showed that a good Biblical movie could be made, especially one based on the book of Exodus. While I personally don't find to be that on the same level as the 1956 epic, you still should really check that one out over this. I heard it performed terribly at the box office to the point it's not even in Leonard Maltin's book. *1/2

Come on people! Sure the animation isn't state of the art, but this isn't Pixar or Disney making the picture. I think it's safe to say that Promenade Pictures doesn't have the budget available these two have.Be that as it may, the most important thing about this movie is the story, not the animation. The story is pretty much right on biblically, and this format is a great way to introduce biblical stories to a younger generation, in particular.I personally enjoyed it a lot, and look forward to their next effort with Noah and the Ark.The bible tells us not to judge, but I almost have to question the Christianity of a so-called "Christian" whose first comment after seeing this picture is to trash the animation and not praise the great story it tells!

This film is great for the entire family.There are few animated biblical films currently to choose from and this one is a god one to add to your library. Biblically based and holds the attention of the whole family. Animation was great and the actors involved have notable careers in the entertainment industry. Ben Kingsley, Christian Slater and others lend their voices.Found that it was a great time to discuss the bible and history afterward... Definitely a must see....You could view this as a family, church group or kids event. There are books that can be used as a resource to entertain and educate children.

I can't give this a 1 because the story line was fabulous and Biblical. However, the first 30 SECONDS of the movie, I knew my artist husband would hem and haw through the whole thing. The animation was horrible!!! This is 2007 and it looked like it should have been played in 1987...I should have known when my group of 5 were sitting in the theater and NO ONE else showed up, that this was not going to be a great movie. Prince of Egypt was a fantastic movie...I just am not sure why this one was not....Come on Hollywood, we want Christian movies, but we want them to be worth spending 8.50 on...Needless to say, this will not be one for the collection.
