Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Maz-hell The tale of Moses and family is one of the best known tales in the history of the world: Hundreds and hundreds of pieces of art represent it, some of them masterpieces. The ten commandments of 1956 is one of the best movies ever made. Prince of Egypt is one of the most beloved Dreamworks movies. You have resources. You have great voice actors. You have reknowned animators. You have everything. How can it go so wrong?Let's forget for a moment about the animation (it is horrible beyond words) The voice acting is bad, everyone sounds bored. The story has nothing going for it, it is not even well redacted. The jokes are bad, extremely bad. Not even the plagues were enticing. I repeat: a haze, extreme darkness, severe infections... not even the angel of death is good. Nothing in this movie is good. Find other movie. Not even god can forgive this piece of garbage for existing.

ctyankee1 I was surprised how emotional I got.I knew the Biblical story but this explained the characters more about how they helped Moses.The Pharaoh was a cruel man. He saw the Hebrew population growing and ordered all of the babies killed. Moses was saved by his brother Aaron and sister Mariam and put in a basket by their mother and put in the water.Aaron his older brother who Moses did not meet until he was and adult. God spoke to Moses but he felt inferior to represent God. God had Aaron help Moses.The animation was different. It was different not bad. It seem there were a lot of oriental names in the creation of the movie. One of the credits says Sparky Animation Singapore. The Hebrews were slaves in Egypt their animated images made them look to healthy, some were fat and some with sexy clothes. Pharaoh had the slaves work extra hard so to me being fat is not result of working hard being strong maybe but not fat. I don't believe they were fed well in Egypt during that time.The music was very emotional. As I watched how God loved the people and Moses tried to obey God I became very emotional. It reminds me of how bad the people where and always wanted something from God and never satisfied. It made me think about myself too. How God loves us and we disobey and don't give God the respect and love he deserves.I thought the message of this movie was excellent. It showed how God saved his people the Hebrews, how he fed them, took them through hard times and allowed them into the land HE Promised them.It showed how God punished those who hurt his people and that he can be vengeful to their enemies.It showed how when we have little to no faith in God he still loves us and keeps his promises.Elliott Gould played the voice of God, I thought he was excellent. The drawn expression in the character with their facial expression and eyes showed the love of the characters for one another. It was very touching as well.

David Elroy As others have said, you need to accept some poor CGI to watch this one. Actually the backgrounds and colors are good, and the plagues are scary, but the human figures... yeah, they're ugly. Several figures are annoying caricatures, like the short whiney Hebrew with the vest. So you need to accept this flaw.Everything else is very good - the voices, the pacing, the action and storytelling. It's surprisingly accurate to the Bible. I would have liked a little more sympathy for Ramses (like in Prince of Egypt), but he does have his sensitive moments, like when his eyes turn sad when he realizes his son might die. Other Egyptians are sympathetic, like the guard who regrets carrying out his harsh duties.Although Moses doesn't order the killing of nonbelievers as he does in Exodus 32, he accepts that it will happen, and God takes care of things with an earthquake. This is good storytelling: retaining the main idea without making it too harsh for kids. Speaking of kids, my 7-yr-old loved this movie and insisted on watching it 3 times before I returned it! I recommend it for kids 7-10 (and their parents of course).One thing portrayed particularly well is the ungratefulness of the freed Hebrews. This is a running theme in the Bible, and it's well handled here. The message is a good one: when we are ungrateful, our ingratitude affects those around us. Therefore, let us give thanks for what we have - every step of the way.

rhatfield-2 Finally a great animated movie on the Ten Commandments that doesn't stop in the promise land. This movie has promise and delivers. I was especially moved by the fact the movie followed the story in the Bible regarding who Moses was much closer than previous versions. The one focal point about Moses' humility made it that more impactive and enjoyable to watch. My kids love it and I am going to recommend this to all families that I know. A great family faith based title for all denominations. Bravo!Ignore the negative ratings on this title as it appears these were made before the movie was even released. IMDb should fix this as a movie this good shouldn't be buried on their list.
