Exodus: Gods and Kings Movie Review:
“Israelite means “one who fights with God,”” Moses is told early on by John Turturro’s snivelling slave master, the sort of character Peter Ustinov would have devoured back during a time when a little camp could lighten stories of truly Biblical proportions. Like everything else in Exodus, their exchange prioritizes intensity of tone and curtness of conversation. “No, it means “one who wrestles with God,”” Moses replies, rather aptly summing up how Scott’s new take on the Old Testament consistently feels like an immense struggle.

Exodus: Gods and Kings Review and Rating:
At the center of that struggle is Bale, further extending a resume that already reads like a diagnosis for masochism. Skipping over his babe in the basket origins, the film picks up with Moses as an accomplished Egyptian general, and the adoptive brother of soon-to-be pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton). An avowed skeptic, Moses is nonetheless forced out of Egypt by a prophecy that would see him become the leader of the land’s enslaved Hebrews. After marrying a nice Jewish girl out in the desert, Moses receives holy instruction to return to his homeland, and lead his people back to theirs.
story line:
Gods and Kings tries to ground its story by taking detours into the inner workings of a civilization fallen into myth. There are viceroys, disputes over economic policy, and scientific theories given out as an explanation for forces once happily accepted as supernatural. Certain additions, like Ramses editing a hieroglyphic press release, are cute thought experiments about ancient life, but the actual story of Exodus is not one built for exploration of nitty-gritty details.
