This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Blistering performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Blistering performances.

it is not easy to present this Biblical episode. not only for special effects but for the right cast who reminds the profound nuances of Moses fight for his people, the relation with God and the vulnerability of a man who has victim of a huge mission. in this case all is at perfect place. the drama, the music, the acting, the hero looking the best manner to save the Jews. and the heart of that good job is the desire to not be another film about Moses and his people but a decent illustration of Saint Book story about a legendary leader. Ben Kingsley does an admirable role using each nuance of script at high level. result - more than an impressive religious film, it is a honest eulogy to freedom and to sacrifice as root of it. a film for a good series who translate in wise manner one of the great historical moments of ours cultural treasure.

Moses is a TV movie that retells the Old Testament text wherein Moses masterfully carries out the wishes of God to lead his people out of Egypt and into the Promised Land.It give full account complete with the burning bush, the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea and the granting of the Ten Commandments.It stars Ben Kingsley in the title role together with Frank Langella, David Suchet and Christopher Lee.It was directed by Roger Young.When the Pharaoh Ramses calls for the death of all Hebrew children, a mother puts her son Moses in a basket and sends him down the Nile to save his life. The baby is found by a princess and raised as the heir to the family throne. Called upon by God, the hesitant Moses accepts the challenge to lead his enslaved people out of Egypt for what becomes a 40-year journey into the promised land.This TV movie doesn't have the epic grandeur of Cecille DeMille's The Ten Commandments.But nevertheless,it is gives a great account of the story of Moses.Also,it consists with some superb acting especially that of Ben Kingsley as Moses.The movie remains watchable and entertaining as it was spiritually well-done despite the fact that a few liberties were taken in writing the screenplay.

I am a huge fan of Ben Kingsley, but this was terrible overacting on his part. The problem of this movie isn't acting, though. The inaccuracy of the movie is its greatest problem. This is the story of Moses according to a certain sect within the Protestant religion, and not an accurate description of the Bible account. The discrepancies are so huge between the movie and the Bible that they can not be called artistic license or a misinterpretation. The movie promotes so many lies with the story of Moses that this movie is more of a work of fiction that a Bible story. Some examples of the inaccuracies are: 1)Moses strongly doubts his encounter with God at the burning bush and is pushed into serving God by his father-in-law and his wife. 2)Pharoah's priests don't use Satan's power to turn two staffs into serpents, and Moses' serpent does not consume the two serpents of the devil. In the movie the Egyptian priests only use tricks to turn the staffs in serpents. 3)Moses commands Joshua and others to blot out the calf worshipers' name by physically killing them. There are more discrepancies than these but these are enough to show that this movie deviates from the Bible so much that a devote Christian or Jew would be seriously offended.

Before this movie, I never really went for Drama. But this movie captivated me. I found the acting great, but two things seemed a bit off. The first thing is that the actors spoke with British accents. The second thing is that the actors seemed to have really nice teeth. I remember one scene where one of the Israelite opponents of Moses was looking up at him (I think this was on the part when there were very strong winds and the people heard the Voice of God), and the dude's teeth were straight and white. I know that funky black teeth aren't exactly appealing, but this was five millenia before Jesus Christ walked the earth, flouride had yet to be invented. But otherwise, the movie is great, it is strongly reccomended.
