I love this film. But not for the same reasons you might have in mind. The acting is wooden. The characters are cardboard. The story moves at brontosaurus speed. The dialog gives the word trite a bad name. No, I love this film because it's a perfect, and I mean perfect, example of how Hollywood chooses to sell real-life. If biblical history actually occurred just the way this film portrays it, then God did all the hard work for him, and Moses was about as effective a leader and visionary as Yogi Bear. But that's not the point, is it? This film accomplishes completely and precisely what it wants to do. It gives us a bright, shiny object to play with for a few hours. Engaging, yes. Enlightening, no. If that's what you are looking for, you can do no better than this film. And if you want to know the real Moses. Well, there's a good reason he was God's buddy.
