Director : Ridley Scott
Running Time : 151 mins
Moses (Bale) has been raised in the royal household of the Pharaohs, but on seeing the treatment of the Hebrew slaves he starts to question their actions. When he is told that he is actually of Hebrew decent, he is exiled and makes a bold move against his childhood friend Ramses (Edgerton) by deciding to try to free his people from slavery.
This wasn’t a bad adaptation, though I’m sure the more religious viewers out there might disagree. There are moments where non-believers try to explain away the plagues, but that just makes each one that follows more impressive. At times I actually felt sorry for Ramses because, other than inheriting slaves, he seemed at first to be a pretty reasonable guy and, to be fair, God wasn’t doing a particularly good job of endearing Himself to the Pharaoh. Fans of Bible epics could do worse than watching this – it’s much better than Noah – and the action sequences work remarkably well.
