sarah-haverty Review of Exodus: Gods and Kings

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

Not a movie I'd expect to flop at the box office

[7/10 · 15 March 2015]

A fictitious tale of Moses. Ridley Scott and the actors did their best to recreate the despair and triumph told in the bible. The God that Moses (Christain Bale) sees in his visions left much to be desired. For one, if He must have a form, I'd rather God to appear as a man, not a child- it came off a little awkward. Christain Bale was an interesting choice for Moses, but I don't really understand why Moses would have an British accent. I've grown really tired of British accents used in movies, for people who came before Britain or have no connection to Britain. I am almost never disappointed in Christain Bale, even with this flaw, I can appreciate the level of effort he puts into his characters. Good cinematography, graphics and great detailing of the city. The storyline itself, was okay, not spectacular, but not bad either. Overall, I can't discount the level of effort that went into making this movie. Sorry to see the expenses weren't grossed. Entertaining. 7/10
