Review of Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) by Maximusnights — 28 Dec 2014

I give fair ratings based on numerous aspects and nothing seemed right with this movie. I will start with my dislikes. Christian Bale was all wrong for the part of Moses as was the other actors and actresses in this movie.

It was hard to believe or get in to the mood set off by the storyline because the body language didn't quite meet up. The visual effects sucked when it came to depicting the river of blood and the the parting of the ocean.

It was as though Ridley Scott was trying too hard to make both of these marvels logical in some way when it was supposed to be a Divine Miracle. The only thing I could say in Ridley's defense is that there isn't a description of God identity in the bible so he figured god can appear in any form he pleased but why a little boy? It makes no sense.

Why would a general listen to what a little boy. Other than one little tid-bit I can't say anything positive about this movie. But the two thing I disliked the most about this movie is the false representation of the theatrical trailers.

In the trailers it was made out to be an action packed movie when it actually was a very slow movie because almost nothing made any sense, And the part where the kid depicted as God came off to be immature as he was a kid and full of hatred when god time and time again is described as all forgiving.

This makes me wonder if the bible was used as a reference at all in this movie.
