I went to see Exodus: Gods and Kings just recently with my husband.
For an Epic movie, with a well known story, I have to say that this movie delivered in many ways. The plague scenes were amazing, and made you squirm in your seat.
I loved how Moses was portrayed as a man torn with his mission, and not always wanting to participate.
The version of "god" was really creepy in my opinion, as he was portrayed by a young boy. The actor was amazing, and there were points where I felt that perhaps this kid MIGHT be the god of the universe by the power placed in his voice. Awesome acting skills.. I foresee a bright future for him.
The movie starts with a huge battle scene.. and I felt that there is so much happening on screen that it is difficult to actually watch.. I still enjoyed it.. but when so much effort, and people is put towards creating such a fight scene.. and there aren't very many "fight" scenes in the movie.. I would have liked to have been able to enjoy it more. Is it just me, or did their movements look blocky, and awkward?

Perhaps it was meant to be that way.. The Egyptians were fighting what looked like nomads.. and I guess that the manner of fighting would be more hack and slash than accurate and "fancy".
I enjoyed the movie, and would recommend it, even in 3D.. but I don't think that I'll go out right away to purchase it for my collection.
What did you think of it?
