Review of Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) by Dcedmonds — 30 Mar 2015
"Exodus: Gods and Kings" 10 Scale Rating: 5.5 (Decent) ...
The Good: Visually, the film is fantastic. The sets, backgrounds, and effects were top notch. The first half of the film is also well done. Despite already being well versed on the story, I was entertained and very interested in what was going on. While I still don't see him as Moses, Christian Bale wasn't bad. Joel Edgerton, however, stole the show as Ramses. Despite being the main villain of the movie, you couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. Edgerton played him perfectly and was well balanced as he shifted back and forth from compassionate and remorseful to enraged and murderous.
The Bad: Unfortunately, the film falls apart halfway through. It becomes far less interesting and slows down, which is odd considering that that is the part of the story that is supposed to really take off. While the film starts off with promise, 3/4 of the way through you're just waiting for it to end.
