Actor Christian Bale as "Moses" in a scene from the upcoming Ridley Scott movie "Exodus: Gods and Kings" slated for release in December.

[Don Corleone]

"I only hope that the comment is more a reflection of the actor's own ignorant bigotry than of the actual movie

Pretty much a definition of all Hollywood's productions and pronouncements.

[Steve_Seattle]

You’d think Bale could keep his mouth shut until after the movie has had its initial run; he’s turning away a lot of potential viewers.

[Cicero]

Well, looks more like another Hollywood jerk than Moses to me.

[Pearls Before Swine]

"He's a very troubled and tumultuous man who fought greatly against God, against his calling."

FWIW, I thought Charlton Heston's Moses was a bit slow picking up on his destiny, too. Of course, in many movies the audience is the first to know what's up, and the characters are the last.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I suppose Christian is unaware that the human condition was quite a bit different a few thousand years before the days of Starbuck lattes.

[dragonblustar]

This coming from a guy who attacked his mother and sister...

[El Cid]

Moses frees 400,000 slaves from Egypt

I believe it was well over a million. Over 600k men (of fighting age). So counting the women and children -- probably close to two million. A bunch.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Great, another Hollywood version of biblical events. Can’t wait to see the velociraptor battle.

[Dr. Thorne]

In one sentence Christian Bale loses several million movie-goers who looking forward to seeing this film. I'll stick with a real actor, Charlton Heston.

[Maceman]

Even if one accepts Bale’s characterization for the sake of argument, Moses was still a saner and more compassionate individual than Mohammed.

[El Cid]

"Some pious readers continue to believe ..."

Spare me... You don't need to be "pious" to that the Word of God is true.

[definitelynotaliberal]

Christian, a great name wasted on a doofus!

[OpusatFR]

I smell a bomb. This will sink faster than last year’s stinker, Noah.

[mikrofon]

As opposed to a comic-book character that dresses in a dark costume & prowls the night dispensing “justice” ;?

[ZinGirl]

hmmm...what an idiot. He has no prob taking $$$ for playing the part, I am sure. Don’t get why he opened his mouth about it at all....except that *I* am calling him an idiot.

[Tucker39]

Did his Mama ever blow it when she named sonny boy CHRISTIAN! Should have named him DUMKOPF!

If there had been a snowball’s chance that I MIGHT possibly pay to view that flick, that bigmouth knucklehead just convinced me that now I can’t wait to miss it. I’se done wrote Ichabod over ‘dat fool!

[minnesota_bound]

Charlton Heston as Moses makes Christian Bales look like a wuss.

[Sans-Culotte]

Looks like this movie is cut from the same cloth as the recent Noah.

[Ghost of SVR4]

Then I am certain won’t mind not getting paid for playing the part; right?

[jonno]

If they tried to use “barbaric” in describing Joshua’s claiming of the promised land, I could see their point (but not concede to it of course).

What could Moses have done which would be considered barbaric?
