Exodus is a watchable film for its scale and visual grandeur in spite of the 3D which doesn’t add any value.

It is a visual spectacle minus a heart…

…sometimes campy and shallow, sometimes solemn but mostly absorbing, interpretation of the story of Moses.

The film is certainly worth a watch but the two and a half hours of it seem as long as it took Moses to rescue them Hebrews.

What the film lacks in ambition and storytelling, it tries to make up with dazzling visuals and special effects. Go for it if you’re up for some biblical mindless fun this weekend.

This is Ridley Scott’s version of the age old story and even though it’s two and a half hours long, it’s simply awesome!

…the lack of cohesive storytelling really kills the film. God is presented as a creepy kid with a scowl on his face, but there is no sense of something being at stake in the film. You also don’t really feel for anyone or anything in the film.

God is an 11-year-old boy and Moses is an orange bore…

Exodus is bound to rile up believers but it will definitely bore skeptics as soon as the second half begins because although it begins with Moses rebelling, it offers very little insight.

Exodus is a good time-pass film. However, if you’ve watched The Prince of Egypt (1998), then skip this one.

Exodus: Gods and Kings is a pure visual delight. If you’re zealous about adventure, the Bible, Christian Bale, ghastly plagues, or anything Egyptian, you don’t have to think twice before you go for it.

Exodus: Gods and Kings is ‘spectacle’ with a capital ‘S’ and in more ways than one, definitely epic.
