My son saw it. He said the problems were the story, the cast, and the direction.

I won’t bother wasting my time on this one. Ever.

He spoke in terms I can’t repeat here about how it wasted his time and money, and he used various personal slurs about the cast members. When he decided to see it, he said, he wasn’t expecting it to be true to the source material. However, he hoped it would be an okay movie, on its own terms ... but it was not.
He and his friends saw the latest Hobbit release last night, but he hasn’t come home yet to report on it. (”Be home by 3:00 p.m.”)

One of my friends from Church saw it and he was not impressed. He advised that I wait for it to come to Netflicks.

My son would say it was a waste of time watching it on Netflix, since you could use the same time to watch “Phineas and Ferb.”

I saw it, and criticisms of the casting are widespread. The Egyptians, in particular, were mostly a bunch of white people with British accents.

Only five? I’ve heard the movie is awful.

Wow, this guy really is a blog pimp.
He just signed up for that reason, spams us with his blog, and never responds, ever, zero.
Post and run blog pimp.

"...if not a little ambiguous about the goodness of God." Have you read the Old Testament?

I don’t recall anything in the Bible about Moses being a general or a top advisor to Pharaoh, or saving the life of Rameses, only that he was raised in Pharaoh’s household. And where does the story of Moses depict God sending an army of giant crocodiles/alligators against the Egyptian ships?

The only thing Hollywood does consistently well these days is special effects. They are not very good storytellers, even when starting off with promising source material like "The Hobbit."

I fell asleep in that Hobbit movie . .

No lie, God smote Hell out of folks for the most minor infractions.

I’d say the first problem is in the title, where it says “GodS”
