the only reason i be give a second star be for the first half of the movie . this be a good rendition of the story . i enjoy see a few fictional character add to add some color to a well know story . but the second half be horrible . yes there be violent aspect of this story . but the writer of this movie chose to only include the violence and forget about the good thing god do for the israelite . towards the end of the movie scott look a though he be get message from the big giant head instead of talk and hear from god . this rendition have some huge problem with deviation from scripture . and big surprise and there be no favorable deviation . their portrayal of moses a this screaming naked lunatic who do all of this against his will be totally false . it show a moses who have to scream in order to get god to talk to him . wrong the scripture say god speak to moses all the time and not just after a temper tantrum . they get the people complain right and but fail to show that god speak to moses at sinai in an audible voice that the follower could hear and believe . ( chapter 19 ) . they also forget the pillar of fire and cloud which guide them in the day and night . what be the whole joshua thing . the righteous peace love jew who would not fight until moses threaten him . wrong ( he be know a a great warrior ) what about the great speech that moses give the army tell them god have help them enough and now they be on their own . wrong ( they only win through god help a show in their own scene with moses lift his staff ) and what be that sorry look ark of the covenant . instead of overlay it with gold this movie be on a tight budget and attach little gold chip to it . oh yeah and it be a molten calf not a straw one with little chip tack on . someone forget that they come out of egypt with a huge amount of gold tribute from the egyptian . you wouldn not know it from this sorry look bunch . by the way and the part about them slay the israelite after the golden calf incident say men and do not mention woman and child which the movie delight in show the viewer . oh yeah manna wasn not the only thing send from heaven do not forget the bird for meat . also and the bible mention jethro bring moses his wife and child and then say jethro go back to his own land . it do not say that moses give up his family . oh well and if you know nothing about the real story and read exodus for yourself . if you know the real story and you will hate this version .
