Review of Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) by Alison G — 10 Jun 2015

While there are many Biblical References in this movie I feel that it sways far in some and the most critical areas of the true account and meaning of the Bible. I have decided that it is better to watch these movies created and produced by Atheists or God haters or people who refuse to educate themselves with Gods true Word and analyze them with compare and contrast so that less are deceived by Hollywood opinions and slander. If we as Christians just sit back and say that we're not going to view them because they are not entirely biblical and their junk what does that do for the ones who have never read the bible and they start to believe these Hollywood movies instead. My thought is that if they can't adhere to at least everything in the bible then don't make it. After all, the bible says we should not add anything to these words (Proverbs 30: 5-6). There is enough information in the bible to make a full length movie the way it was meant to be made.

Oh boy -There are too many careless, disturbing and dangerous liberties that were taken in making this movie in my opinion. I don't recommend watching this movie unless you're familiar with what the bible says about Exodus or at least willing to go back and read the bible - Gods True story and record of Events (it may lead you to believe something that's not true). Unlike this movie (as well as being the most offensive to me), in the bible God is Terrifying and Glorious with a Thunderous voice. He is so brilliantly bright with his Glory that in our human body we would not be able to stand before him and live. Moses could not directly face Him but later in the book of Exodus God covered him in a cleft of a rock with His mighty hand while he passed before him and Moses was only permitted to look at the back of Him (Ex. 33:19-23). Again - in the Movie, the directors in the extras said that the little boy was not God but a messenger or angel. Yet when Moses asked the boy who he was and the boy said " I Am", (God is the great "I Am"??) I even noticed that in the movie Moses never stuttered, was incapable of speaking or was lacking confidence but was portrayed more as a warrior (Ex. 4:10-11). I also noticed in the movie that Aaron never spoke for Moses or even traveled with him. I have to ask if anyone understands what the pyramid of black balls that was present whenever the young boy was around was in the movie. - Weird. There were so many things that the director didn't have to change about this movie. I feel you should make the movie dramatic and adlib (to make a story line that follows the events and integrity of the Bible but you should not change it completely around just because you have the pen and paper in your hand. It's meant to be written and remembered the way the bible lays it out for us.
