 | Biblically accurate and well portrayed
rating: 5
I love this movie! In my opinion, of all the Moses movies out there, this is the most accurate and close to the Holy Bible. The acting is also well done and convincing. I highly recommend this movie.

Great Biblical Classic, although, I mostly think the "Ten Commandments" by Chalrles Heston was the best, I rate this one a 7,
rating: 4
Like I previously said Ben Knigsley is a great actor, but nobody beats Heston, I'm buying all the collections available existing little by little. You know how it is!
I have purchased a series of Bible Collections, and would appreciate that u keep on sending me e-mails especially new versions of all the epics available. Thanks, Robert Villar Jr.

Moses (The Bible Collection)
rating: 5
If I could rate it a 10 I would. It was great; however, be prepared to dedicate time to watch the entirety of the movie. My suggestion is to let it be one of those movies for a rainy day or for a weekend you stay in. The movie sticks very closely to the bible, however does not replace it (in no form)and the writer's do use some creative adjustments. I was impressed on how much they got into the 3 hours. They showed many of the plaques that fell on Egypt (many that other adaptations don't touch on), many of the trials the Hebrews had to endure in the wilderness, (the manna and quail, the golden calf, Miriam's leperosy, the striking of the rock), and a pretty good depiction of what Moses' personality may have been like. The parts not so pleased with- how Aaron was let off so easy as it related to the golden calf (it is depicted as he only allowed the others to make the calf and it doesn't show he is the one to make the calf), the small amount of people depicted in the exodus and in the wilderness (their where really over 600,000 and a couple of hundred).But it only made me go back and read the story of the Exodus again (Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,and Deuteronomy), so it was a win-win situation. Eventhough it is very long; once you start the movie, it grabs your attention until the very end. I got Moses in the collection (which I strongly encourage for anyone buying this movie). Though they use some creative adjustments, it really gets the point across and well worth the price. Again 10 stars and 4 thumbs up.

Didn't watch all of it
rating: 2
Its so hard to beat "The Ten Commandments"
We watched about 30 minutes of this, pulled it out, dusted off Charlton Heston, popped some popcorn, and watched it to the end.
Although we really like Ben Kingsley in most everything else, we will probably give this one away.
I'm sure someone would appreciate it.

Excellent
rating: 5
This is not as exciting as Charlton Heston's TEN COMMANDMENTS but it is every bit as good in terms of instruction and as a depiction of a biblical story. It covers some aspects of the exodus story that are not found in the older classic and which help make more sense out of the story. The sets are not as big or as expensive but everything is well done.
The story is the seminal event for the story of the Jewish people and nation. The people are held as slaves in Egypt. Moses is raised as a privileged prince of the royal house but is conflicted. He kills an Egyptian while saving a Jewish slave and flees for his life. He finds safety but God orders him to go back and free the people. This he does with his brother and brings the people out of bondage and into the wilderness where they are forged into a real nation.
TNT did a great job on this series and this is one of the best of the group.
