Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If only there was a first hand written account of this story for the writers and director to go off of... If only... Look, they have to add material beyond what Exodus records. That's understandable and even necessary to tell the story in movie format. But I don't understand why specifics from the bible - which are no less dramatic - need to be changed. Moses killed an Egyptian after seeing him abuse a Hebrew (not in self defense in some alley), then he ran (not exiled) for fear of his life. Moses AND AARON went to Pharaoh between the plagues, presenting God's demands (he didn't show up once with a sword). Speaking of which... Moses had a staff! The movie never gave him one. And that staff turned into a snake (movie never did that). Not to mention, Moses was in the desert 40 years (not 9). I could go on... These intentional departures from the biblical text - not just filling in gaps or a different interpretation, but an entire changing of the story - shows the writers and director did not take this story seriously. It was another piece of fiction to them. Great CGI and acting, but their horrific approach earns 1 star.
