The Prince of Egypt Audience Reviews

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
lisafordeay The Prince of Egypt is a 1998 animated musical based on Moses and features a full essembled cast including Value Killer, Sandra Bullock, Ralph Fiennes, Helen Mitten, Steve Martin, Michelle Phieffer and Patrick Stewart and tells the tale of Moses who was abandoned as a baby by his mother and his siblings as she was being hunted down by pharophs whom raise Moses as their own kind. Once Moses gets older he later finds out that his a jewish slave and runs away to try and make sense of his life and to save his people. Will Moses save his people and ask for God help. Overall this film still lies ahead of it's time. The animation is gorgeous, the music is excellent I would go so far to say that it's up there with Disney hunchback of Notre dame as it's so criminally underrated and deserves to be a classic. It's definetly one of my favourite non Disney films of all time. If you haven't seen it do watch it or try and track it down on DVD. A-
fireworksat Marvelous work of beautiful backgrounds and historical accuracy. Also retold the story of Exodus great, minus a few add'ins. Great work.
AndrewHeaney1 When it comes to talking about DreamWorks films, most people tend to think of the 3D-animated film franchises, like How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek, and Kung Fu Panda. And while I do think those are good film franchises as well (I personally adore both HTTYD films and regard them as excellent films as well), I do not think any of them reach the level of DreamWorks' 2D-animated film, one of their first films, The Prince of Egypt.I think this is an underrated masterpiece, and is absolutely my all-time favorite animated movie. I'll even go to say it's one of my favorite films of all time.I cannot find a single element of the film that is less than stellar.The animation is gorgeous. Dare I say it's some of the best 2D animation I've ever seen.The voice acting is phenomenal on all fronts. Even some actors that could have potentially been distracting, like Steve Martin and Martin Short as the two Egyptian priests, work very well.The characters are all identifiable and complex. Moses and his family are all likable and charismatic. Even the villain, Rhamses II (voiced by the wonderful Ralph Fiennes) is very sympathetic and is one of my favorite interpretations of the famous character.The story (based on the Book of Exodus) is adapted beautifully. I have read the story of Exodus many times, and while there are changes and creative leaps to the story, they are inserted into places that the Bible does not touch on. What I mean by this is that there are things added in that are in places that the Bible skips over, and I think this is brilliant.The music is undoubtedly phenomenal. The burning bush scene where God speaks to Moses (one of my favorite movie moments of all time) has one of the most soothing, lovely melodies I've heard in my life.One more thing to add: I did not grow up with this film, and I still cannot recommend it more. Honestly, I never even heard about it until my mid teen years.Of course, the rating is an 10/10 from me. If you haven't seen the movie, go see it as soon as you can.
joshuabush-28688 I loved this movie as a kid! I used to watch it over and over and it would never get old... I still enjoy years later. Bravo!
