Unusual version but bought it was "decent". Great filming, music and scenery. Still disappointed the trailer made it seem better than it was.
Some parts are left out from the bible. The biggest disappointment was the absence of lifting of the bronze serpent. I don't understand why they leave this out of versions?
Acting was great. They did choose great actors. I did not like the casting of Moses however. No "warmth" or tenderness to him. Pharaoh was superb casting.
Parts seem drastically "rushed"...suddenly Moses was old in the last...minute. Nothing leading to that really at all. Nothing done to him to make him look old apart from a terrible wig. Some others have mentioned the rushing. I agree also with others, that they depicted Moses as lack of faith, and that God wasn't around. The fiery pillar was seen only briefly too. Seemed to be leading into something then died in story.
Some weird things are in it. The manna from heaven suddenly appears as weird circles on the ground. What was that about? There was also no quails! That I saw anyway?? Then Joshua seems to be doing yoga refusing to battle. That was weird. Oh and a nuclear explosion vision?! What?!
Moses is depicted as being an angry screaming person. No love. Got into a fight and near strangled Joshua. WHAT THE?!
"Golden calf" looked like a school art project. Wasn't even completely gold. And no they didn't break it up into pieces. Ark of the covenant was a straw box thing.
Some parts were well done such as the fiery pillar and the parting of the Red Sea was great. I can tell they spent a lot of time with the fight scenes. Too bloody for me...they should've spent more time with the plagues those were blink and you miss it and other scenes. More time spent on fights and war most of the time.
Apparently the company that made this made the terrible "noah's ark" (1999 with Jon Voight) movie I saw briefly a year or so ago..which was so awful and total mockery and blasphemy I stopped within about ten minutes. It was made into a totally new story. The Ten Commandments wasn't near as bad as that but worth mentioning,
I thought the 1995 version (Ben Kingsley) was more memorable despite that being not 100% accurate and erasing stuff (and adding stuff).
Was a disappointment so rating it a 6.
