the journey to the promised land, Avril 15 2004
Though this television production doesn't have the epic grandeur of "The Ten Commandments", it is a marvelous telling of the story of Moses, with some superb acting; there are a few liberties taken to flesh out the script, but the heart of the Biblical account is intact, with a memorable portrayal by Ben Kingsley as the prophet who was "clumsy with words" but led his people to freedom.
Other terrific performances come from David Suchet as Aaron, Sonia Braga as Zipporah, and Philip Stone as Jethro, and as the "bad guys", Frank Langella, who with his sonorous voice makes an effective Pharaoh, and Maurice Roeves as Zerack, the man who is a continual kvetch.Filmed in sub-saharan Quarzazate and Agadir, Morocco, it is visually beautiful, with the excellent cinematography by Raffaele Mertes; I like the neutral palette, and the artifacts and costuming that give it an authentic look of ancient times. Added to the atmosphere is the wonderful score by Marco Frisina.
The effects are good, from the parting of the sea to the tablets of the law, and other than a short sequence of violence (which includes a swift depiction of sacrificing an animal) after the golden calf incident, it is family friendly. Total running time is 184 minutes.
This is a film that stands up to a lot of repeated viewing; it is so full of eternal truths, and content that is applicable to our lives today.

My favorite Moses, Nov. 28 2003
I thought this was the best of films I've seen about Moses. I liked the way he was portrayed as an ordinary man who was chosen and called by God. He had to grow into greatness and he had to grow in his faith. I found his transition from ordinariness to greatness over the years and through many difficult circumstances and difficult choices to be inspirational. Films I've seen in the past about Biblical characters have often tended to come across as a bit formal or contrived feeling. I thought the portrayal of how the people lived had a more natural look and feel to it, instead of looking more like actors simply trying to portray past ways of living. The film gave me a better sense of what Moses and the people of Israel went through in their journey from slaves to free people reaching the Promised Land. There were many difficult choices to make and some chose unwisely. I was touched by the portrayal of Moses' grieving when the people rebelled and God dealt with them. It brought tears to my eyes at the end when Moses, before he died, was standing on the top of the mountain looking down at the Promised Land. I thought it was an excellent portrayal of Moses and his fulfillment of God's destiny for him.

More complete, but less exciting, Oct. 15 2003
This film covers more of the Moses story than any other film I have seen. Although there are a few inaccuracies, they are few compared to most Hollywood films and generally don't make any substantive change to the Biblical text. One problem with the film is that the crowd scenes just don't do justice to the reality. Scholars estimate there were about 2.5 million Hebrews in Egypt who made the exodus. I doubt if there are any scenes in this film which show more than 50. The film could be greatly improved if they could add computer generated people to build the crowd scenes. This is one thing The 10 Commandments could do well. The second problem, is that the film just isn't as exciting as The 10 Commandments. Perhaps that comes from being more accurate. Overall, it is a good film which does an excellent job at covering the events.

Not Bad, Aoû 30 2003
This movie was well acted out and devoid of the grandiose nature of "Hollywood" in general. PROBLEM: there were far more Israelites then is depicted, this IS a MAJOR flaw. You don't begin to appreciate the power of God until, as mentioned so eloquently by 'A viewer from Los Angeles' "TNT's version reminds us that faith and patience is required as God reveals His plan" at the Sea. This film only misses the point on this issue alone but unfortunately, it is an important one. In order for people to understand the trials of the Israelites and the repeated disbelief of God's power they would have had to actually show the 'Exodus' as the GRAND event that it really was.Otherwise it is almost perfect, TNT has shown by far more of the story and gives us a much better than any other single "Moses" movie to date. Combined with all the other films, TNT's version is definitely one NOT to be missed.

Finally!, Mai 20 2003
Par Un client
Finally...a film about Moses that is about as realistic as you will get. I LOVED this version. It so vividly portrayed the trials and tribulations of Moses and a nation of people who followed him to the Promised Land. I was very impressed with the reality of the stage settings, costumes and portrayal of the realities of day-to-day living in those times. I got a very real sense of how it must have been for Moses to lead a group of people who were afraid, insecure and homeless...people who constantly, doubted and challenged Moses' relationship with God.
Very accurate from a Biblical standpoint as well - the director did not take too many liberties with this film.
There are so many great things about this movie I can't put it all into words. I've seen several versions of the Exodus, but this one is the best yet! I originally saw this movie on the TBN cable channel and I loved it so much, I'm buying it for my personal library. I HIGHLY recommend this video!

More adult, more accurate version of the Prince of Egypt, Déc 1 2002
This less 'Disneyfied', more biblically accurate version of Moses is a less spectacular, yet highly dramatic, character-driven story that is engaging throughout most of its 3 hours. Ben Kingsly does a terrific job as Moses. I liked how Moses went from a stutterer, full of feelings of inadequacy and self doubts and who required his brother to 'translate' the message for him, to one who speaks with absolute authority as the Voice of God. The story retains its faithfulness, but loses some of its steam after the climactic parting of the Red Sea, until the ending, where Moses' faith brings him to the gates of the Promised Land, but where he is denied access. It's a very moving scene and displays Moses' ability to truly surrender to and accept the will of God. Anyone who doesn't mind a little less spectacle, for a little more meat, I recommend "Moses" .

a darn fine Moses, Mars 19 2002
The story of Moses is so complex, so vast, that every portrayal seems to lack something. Hollywood has tried time and again (probably because they get to play with the Red Sea scene each time) to tell this story. Charlton Heston, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley...each does at least an interesting, if not great job of becoming this great historical figure.I prefer Kingsley's movie's interpretation to the two more prominent movies. Heston is too superhero-ish; and while Fiennes' movie is visually beautiful, it jumbles too much and leaves off midway. Kingsley is a fine actor. You gotta love Gandhi. His Moses movie makes sense as a whole. It takes us through most of the events (a lot more than The Ten Commandments or The Prince of Egypt do anyway). The Red Sea scene is powerful and full of unexpected tension. The death of Moses is quite moving. The only thing keeping it from getting a full five stars is that there is this one guy who keeps doubting and complaining--no doubt he is supposed to represent the stiff-necked nature of the Israelites. The only problem is that the repeated use of this one actor is almost comical..."Where's the Beef Moses???" Still, out of the three movies about Moses mentioned here, I give this version starring Ben Kingsley the edge over the other two.

Excellent movie, worth watching, Janv. 4 2001
This was the first movie from the TNT group that I bought and I was not disappointed. The movie covers Moses' life from his birth to the time right before the conquest.From a Scriptural point of view, Exodus is the book they follow most. They do not deal with most of the wars during the wandering in the desert and they skirt over some things like Korah's rebellion. Most of the time is spent in building up Moses' encounter with God and the actual exodus from Egypt. Scripturally, the movie is well done. They had to personify the Israelite people into individuals. Also they make no mention of Moses' children and very little about his wife. Like all movies about Moses, they compress the time frame a lot. They also tone down the size of the Israelites to a few hundred (on screen). The production is very good. This movie is definitely PG-13. It portrays some sacrifices and war. It may not be appropriate for younger children.

Refreshingly Accurate, Oct. 26 2000
It is not often we can view a movie while following along in the Bible. The Bible Collection has turned out to be an accurate portrayal of God's Word as far as I can tell. 'Moses' captures the flavor and feel of The Word in a way 'The Ten Commandments' did not. It is indeed refreshing to find a movie based on the Bible and not on some screenwriters interpretation thereof. When something did not sound right, I checked it. Sure enough, accuracy seems to be important to the producers of this film. I am left with but one question. When can we expect 'Joshua'?
