Pretty Good

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The Prince of Egypt is a 1998 animated musical based on Moses and features a full essembled cast including Value Killer, Sandra Bullock, Ralph Fiennes, Helen Mitten, Steve Martin, Michelle Phieffer and Patrick Stewart and tells the tale of Moses who was abandoned as a baby by his mother and his siblings as she was being hunted down by pharophs whom raise Moses as their own kind. Once Moses gets older he later finds out that his a jewish slave and runs away to try and make sense of his life and to save his people. Will Moses save his people and ask for God help. Overall this film still lies ahead of it's time. The animation is gorgeous, the music is excellent I would go so far to say that it's up there with Disney hunchback of Notre dame as it's so criminally underrated and deserves to be a classic. It's definetly one of my favourite non Disney films of all time. If you haven't seen it do watch it or try and track it down on DVD. A-

Marvelous work of beautiful backgrounds and historical accuracy. Also retold the story of Exodus great, minus a few add'ins. Great work.

This film is such an emotional experience, I literally cry throughout the film, not just one or two places, but throughout. If anyone says DreamWorks isn't talented or anything like that, they need to check their pulse, because this film made Disney realize what a monster DreamWorks could eventually come, but a good monster, at least for us audiences. OK, what is it that makes this film so wonderful. The idea of tackling such a sensitive topic as the story of Moses really was a risky move for DreamWorks, a film that could make or break them. Kudos, because it was so risky. They didn't shoehorn anything and gave us a fully realized, and well put together masterpiece of a film. Now here in 2017 and beyond people are starting to realize the brilliance and the majesty of the film. What works so well is the effort put into this, the music by Hans Zimmer is his best since The Lion King, and the songs are better than the songs Disney was making at the time in 1998. So much so that one was rewarded an Oscar. As of right now it is the only DreamWorks song "When You Believe" to win an Oscar. The animation is topnotch, about as good as The Lion King, and the story is heartwarming, and heartbreaking at times. The film isn't afraid to go to some dark places. The performances of the actors was genuine especially from Val Kilmer and Ralph Fiennes. Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum make an appearance which is always nice. The only problem I have is the attempt at comedy. If you can't make good comedy work in a drama film like this, don't do it at all. But of course it had to appeal to kids somewhat. That's one thing about animated films is they always have to appeal to kids one way or another, even in films that don't need the lowbrow humor for your toddler. If they took the comedy out, it would have been more impactful than it already is. This isn't the only film that does it though, a generally great film but is bombarded by needless and forced comedy. Animated films should help kids grow, not stay kids. So let some blood on screen, let murder happen on screen, life isn't always fun and sweet. But, that's the only grip, other than that, its great. Now to grade. Animation: A Story: A+ Characters: A- Music: A+ Comedy: D+ Overall: A

Wow. Just... wow! How did DreamWorks do such a natural phenomenon?!? I have read the Bible story many times, but never before have I seen a Bible story be portrayed and making the characters look this good! Awesome and handsome animation from our good old' buddies who used to work at Walt Disney Feature Animation and Amblimation. And even Simon Wells returns from Amblimation to direct this extravagance well-prepared from DreamWorks, brilliant as the history of the Bible, served with historical precision! No sugar included! DreamWorks is still a super-animation massive god studio. I think they look much better traditionally animated. And, like many future DreamWorks films, features the voices of some of Hollywood's greatest acting talents, like Val Kilmer, actor for Batman (Batman Forever), Ralph Fiennes, actor for Amon Goeth (Schindler's List), Michelle Pfeiffer, actress of Catwoman (Batman Returns), Sandra Bullock, actress who voiced Scarlett Overkill (Minions), Jeff Goldblum, actor for Seth Brundle (The Fly), Dr. Ian Crawford, (Jurassic Park), Danny Glover, actor for President Wilson (2012), Freakin' Patrick Stewart, actor for King Richard (Robin Hood: Men in Tights), Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek Franchise), and Steve Martin, and Martin Short, two of the Three Amigos, and actors from The Muppet Movie, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Fantasia 2000, We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story, (also done by Amblimation) and The Pebble and the Penguin! The plot is simply, the story of the Exodus, with historical accurate details. And no sugarcoating. No sugar included. The Plagues, I really like seeing. This animation is incredible! It's incredible! Incredible! Incredible! Incredible! And I still think this animated phenomena masterpiece deserved the $218,600,000 it got. Well done, good and faithful servants at DreamWorks!
