MOVIE REVIEW: EXODUS Gods and Kings
Rating: 3.5 Stars/5
A Visual Delight, but still have to disagree with RIDLEY SCOTT that EXODUS is his best movie. GLADIATOR was way ahead of this one!
And if I go into the theatre that this one will be better than the previous Best of RIDLEY- GLADIATOR which was made 15 years back, then is it too much! I guess its no!
Well the movie is still a visual delight! However cant give this one more than 3.5.
The movie- as the trailers showed, is about the famous FARAOH- RAMSES and His brother - MOSES.
Both were raised together! They were like brothers. When Ramses became the king, Moses became his most true adviser. But when the identity of MOSES was finally revealed as his heritage was from HEBREW, RAMSES banished him to die in the deserts.
Gods as they say saved him to free - 4 lack hebrew slaves!
The sequence of transformation of a self confused to a determined Moses could have been better depicted.
The fight sequence no doubt will take your breath away and you will say- Wow!
Time for Some Critics Style Approach:
However the inter- personal relation shown of Moses and Ramses even after brilliance in delivery of dialogues - could have been better.
And the story of becoming God of Moses even though a very popular myth but the retelling could have been better!
But never the less. the scenes of 10 plagues attacking the king's city will make you wonder! The scenes will remain in your mind even after the movie.
The movie of 2.5 hours long will hold you to the seats!
Ridley Scott is still one the best in hollywood when it comes to showing history to the modern world.
Going with 3.5 stars!
