Exodus: Gods and Kings

When this came out I thought it was a shitty 300 rip off. Didn’t realize it is literally the story of Moses but in a high budget action movie. Kinda 🔥 ​​​​​​​​​

Ridley Scott madness as usual. My problem isn't really with the 'realistic' yet 'cheesy' story. Entertainment wise it's fine. It's built for the average American audience member. So don't expect Nolan level writing. My problem is with the casting. They do as much as they can and it works, if it was anything but this story. The acting ends up looking porcelain, with the on-off dialogue. The vfx clenches your cheeks, as with the sfx and score. Most of it is forgettable, and lost in my mind. I probably won't watch it again, but I had to for the Scott Free extravagance.

Pretty meh movie but watchable.

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) really thought it was Gladiator but with Moses. Visually stunning, but bro… Christian Bale as Moses?? Felt like Bible fanfic with a VFX budget. Plagues were wild tho. 🐸🔥🌊📜
