The Prince of Egypt Storyline

Centuries ago in ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh Seti (Sir Patrick Stewart) ordered all the Hebrew baby boys to be executed. A desperate mother decides to let God guide her newborn son instead of execution. Found by the Queen (Dame Helen Mirren), the baby is named Moses and brought up as a Prince of Egypt and a brother to the Pharaoh’s son Rameses II. As time passes, the two brothers are separated as Moses (Val Kilmer) discovers his true heritage as a Hebrew and defies the Egyptian way of life. After escaping from the city, Moses finds that he is called by God to lead his people out of Egypt as His messenger. Unfortunately, Rameses II (Ralph Fiennes) now rules over the Hebrews with an iron fist, and it will take all of Moses’ strength and God’s miracles to change the world.

The Prince of Egypt Movie Reviews

Superb!

I could not fault this movie whatsoever, and I am shocked at the low rating. The animation is jaw-dropping, especially in The Plagues scene, which is still for me visually and musically one of the most haunting and evocative scenes in an animated film, and the part with the Red Sea splitting. The songs and music(by Hans Zimmer) are phenomenal. “When You Believe” is a standout, as is the title song. People complained about the story. There is nothing wrong with the story at all, other that it is complicated, but it is a biblical story after all. The voice talents are superlative, here we have Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Steve Martin and Martin Short voicing fairly complex and beautifully-drawn characters flawlessly. I tend to worry about A Listers in animated films, but this, people, is a truly talented voice cast, who are truly excellent when they are given a good script, which was exactly what they got. All in all, a superb animated film, which isn’t to be missed. 10/10 Bethany Cox.

good animation and a serious treatment of the material

DreamWorks does The Ten Commandments. It’s an adaptation of the Book of Exodus. The Queen finds a baby in a basket floating in the Nile and adopts him naming him Moses. Moses grows up along side Ramses as brothers and best of friends. However Moses’ past would lead them on their separate paths. It builds to the climatic parting of the Red Sea and quickly ends with Moses coming down Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments.

It’s a good looking animated movie. The CG scenes give the animation an epic scale. It treats the material seriously. It is still animation but it keeps the needed adult themes. As for music, the songs are Broadway-like but none of them are memorable. Overall, this is a deserving rendition of the biblical tale.

Very Well Crafted Animation

This is quite a good telling of the Moses myth from the Bible. Moses is a multidimensional character who is given a task so incredibly great that he can’t help but stumble a few times along the way. The first part is interesting in that it sets up a battle of two strong men. When Moses comes to realize his responsibility to the Hebrew people, he is saddled with complaining, misbehaving, and all the things that take place where humans are involved. There are several striking scenes here which the animators have done fabulously. At times the dialogue is a bit stilted due to attempts to create a kind of biblical English.
