Review of The Ten Commandments (1956) by Tyler Y — 13 Jun 2011

It was inaccurate in quite a few places, but that's to be expected. The only problem that comes to mind is it's number of underdeveloped characters and it's length nearly pushing four hours, but it kept me entertained throughout.

The thing that bothered me the most though was the relationship between Moses and Rameses, and in this regard, I really prefer The Prince of Egypt. I prefer the latter as a sympathetic villain, instead of the magnificent bastard he was portrayed as in this movie. He and Moses relationship was just so much more compelling and gave the Prince of Egypt another level of emotional depth that this adaption of Exodus failed to tap into.
