Save your money, ping!
No way will I waste money on this monstrosity.
I can’t get past “Batman.”
Sounds as blasphemous as I thought it would be.
I’ll see it and take it with a grain of salt. It looks entertaining.
“After The Passion of the Christ, the studio heads discovered there was a market for movies based on the Bible.”
The key here is holding true to what the Bible says and not making it into some mythical story that tries to draw in viewers with theatrics and change the Biblical truth. Passion of The Christ stayed true to the Bible, this film will follow Noah and be full of BS.
Have no desire to see the Godless view of the Bible!!
For that reason alone, I will avoid this movie like ebola.
The producers and writers of the 1956 film “Ten Commandments” took care to consult Bible scholars, both Jewish and Christian, before even attempting to make their film. The current group seems to be consulting doubters and nonbelievers, and then stretching the storyline as far as they could to make a great “popular epic”. The Biblical story is epic in and of itself. But they must tell their “truth” to the world, and not G_d’s.
I have read the commentary above and elsewhere about the contents of the movie. It seems the new Exodus movie has G_d appearing to Moses as a young boy rather than in a burning bush to command him to free Israel. The miracles are explained away as acts of nature. Moses confrontation with a fellow Hebrew, after killing an Egyptian who had been beating a fellow Hebrew the previous day, is twisted way out of context. My money will stay home, just as it did with the film about Noah.
There is such a large number of people in the general population that get their beliefs from the contents of what they see on TV and movies. After all isn't it true that every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings.
There is a prevalent belief that if you're just good in a general sense you will be allowed into heaven. This too has been fostered on the general public through the media.
Of course Muslims believe that if your good deeds outweigh your bad by even one action, that you enter paradise. Of course they have a shortcut method also that includes killing or dying for their god in jihad.
There is such a great demand for Bible based films throughout the Jewish and Christian communities, but Hollywood as usual tries to tell it their way, and not G_d’s way.
Expecting Hollywood to make a decent biblical epic these days is like expecting a blind atheist to paint a Pieta.
Ridley Scott is a good director, most of the time (let’s not mention “Robin Hood”). However, he’s currently working on a sequel to his sci-fi movie where he originally was going to claim Jesus Christ was a space alien from a race that genetically engineered humans. I really wouldn’t go into this thinking he had any concern for Biblical accuracy.
Besides, there is always the popcorn effect. The butter and salt seem to "stupify" one into a sense of calm and well being. Must be in the FAUX butter. I will see it and let y'all know how it turns out.
Pardon the Texas-ese. I'm going to Texas for Christmas and have to practice my TexasTalk: "fixin'" and "y'all."
Are these movies any worse than what Cecil B DeMille served up om glorious technicolor?
His, at least, were entertaining!
I hear getting mixed review on Rotton Tomatoes website right now
BTW I hear this budget so out of control and filming was so out of control they have reedit like 3 times already
I’d go see it if I knew for sure James Coburn would show up on the Red Sea in a paddle boat.
The irony is that Hollywood hates the Bible so much that they are making bad films to prove there is no “Christian” market, to justify making the usual crap.
Ironically, the real sin is not that they don’t follow the Bible but that they ruined the story. Both Moses and Noah are ancient tales that are similar to other stories that have been around for 5000 years, and remain popular because of the story: In Moses, about how poor people found freedom from tyranny, and in Noah, how God will save the just even in the midst of death.
One need not be a believer to make a good movie out of such stories.
If you want a good movie, watch “the good lie” about the lost boys of Sudan, who carry a bible with them. The Bible stories resonate with the boys, because they too fled tyranny, kept their faith in God and their families, and He rescued some from death, and they knew those who died lived in Him in heaven.
I might suggest “Unbroken”, but apparently they cut the part of the story where he was indeed broken but remade into life by accepting Jesus. Can’t have that I guess. Sigh.
Hollywood is delusional, not Moses.
