I’ll comment after I see it. I know that’s hard for some to understand.

When Christian Bale went on record as saying he thought Moses was nuts, I knew the movie wouldn’t properly tell the story. That alone made me decide to not see it.

Yes, the author was/is from another world. I will give Him 5 stars (... but, of course, He provides the stars).

Exodus is the same movie as the 1956 movie Ten Commandments. With Yul Brenner and Charlton Heston is it not? They also did a remap of the Ten Commandments in 2006...

Ill wait to see what my religious friends have to say and Ill really listen this time, which is what I should have done before seeing Russell Crowes godawful mess, Moses. Chasing after his daughter in law and her two infant daughters to stab and kill them because the Creator told him humanity didnt deserve to live, only the animals deserved to live....Moses?
Perhaps you mean Noah.

Wait. Is this a remake of Exodus or The Ten Commandants. Now I’m confused.

I’m with you man. These Freepers are a bunch of one-toothed, tobacco chewing hicks who wouldn’t know a good film if it bit them in the ass.

Jesus of Nazareth (1977)Powerful movie. The music was powerful too. Gave me goose bumps and tears. One of the best.

Sigh. Sounds like just another soulless CGI movie without much story, dialog, character development or acting. I’m starting to think almost all “blockbuster” films are little more than infomercials for the video game.
Just watched Ghostbusters again tonight, and it was wonderful to see a movie with real sets for the entire picture, with minimal bluescreen and claymation for the special effects.

That ‘Exodus’ was based on the Leon Uris novel, not on the Book of Genesis.

After that complete mess called Prometheus i will never purposely see another Ridley Scott film. I had hoped that Prometheus was a random trainwreck, with Lindelof largely to blame. It now looks that Scott may have hit the wall. I fear his desire to revisit Blade Runner.

The movie Exodus with Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint was about the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The Ten Commandments was about the biblical Moses, of course. Hollowwood is doing its best to muck it up.

There is a Bible book of Exodus. Second book.
The Leon Uris novel and later the movie made on it tried to create parallels between the Exodus from Egyp and the founding of modern Israel.
This movie has nothing to do with the 60s book or movie. It’s a retelling of the story of the original Bible book of Exodus. Which has previously been made into a number of movies, most named after the Ten Commandments.
