The Ten Commandments (2007)

Fantastic!

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

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.

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.

Come on people! Sure the animation isn't state of the art, but this isn't Pixar or Disney making the picture. I think it's safe to say that Promenade Pictures doesn't have the budget available these two have.Be that as it may, the most important thing about this movie is the story, not the animation. The story is pretty much right on biblically, and this format is a great way to introduce biblical stories to a younger generation, in particular.I personally enjoyed it a lot, and look forward to their next effort with Noah and the Ark.The bible tells us not to judge, but I almost have to question the Christianity of a so-called "Christian" whose first comment after seeing this picture is to trash the animation and not praise the great story it tells!

I thought The Ten Commandments 2007 animated film with Ben Kingsley and Christian Slater was awesome. I seen on the message board many negative comments but when it comes to a film dealing with Religious content ignorant people will always criticize it. I am a lazy Catholic and loved this little simple and fun movie because It tells a nice bible story very quickly and it's cool for the kids. And maybe this film doesn't meet the standards of Veggie Tales or the classic film version's your grandparents and parents loved. I thought this film was fun and that's all there is to it. If you didn't like the movie find something better to do with your time or just don't watch it. I will not watch Mel Gibson's Passion Of The Christ because I've seen all the classics and hate the fact that he's just making money off religion as it's easier then selling bags of manure at the country market.

How can you ruin such a great story? Answer: A. Insipid direction.B. World's worst imagery and animation.The story flounders as it focuses on the relationship of Moses to the Pharoah ("Ramses".) Were they at one point buddies? Did something sour Ramses and turn him into a grumpalumpagus? Who knows or cares? But hold on, the worst is yet to come: the nutso physiques of the characters. The leading men (Moses, Ramses, Aaron) seem to all sport chest implants that would shame the late Anna Nicole Smith. OK, so Moses and Ramses were raised in wealth, how did Aaron manage to acquire such gargantuan pecs while some of his compadres appear as emaciated as a displaced person.Legs and torsos seem to have only the most casual acquaintance with one another. Eyes are over-sized in the manner of the Keane kids of the 60s.Larding out the cast (pardon the pun)are anonymous Hebrew supernumeraries who are impossibly wide and fat. While that might be very progressive in giving work to morbidly obese cartoon characters, it's very jarring to the viewer. Kids (baby Moses, young Miriam, the Pharoah's first-born) manage to be repugnant rather than endearing.Oh, and the color palette. WAY over the top.The only positives: Eliot Gould and Ben Kingsley.I saw this shortly after it opened in town. It was playing only in an obscure theater located in a low-end mall. I'd say there were under 40 other customers.What a dud.
