Storyline

Biblical epic Exodus: Gods and Kings stars Christian Bale as Moses who, as the film opens, fights alongside his brother Ramses (a shaved-headed Joel Edgerton), to help defend Egypt, which is ruled by their father, Seti (John Turturro). During battle, Moses saves Ramses life, causing Ramses to fear that his brother will one day be King because it fits with a prophecy handed down by one of Seti's trusted spiritualists. Soon after Seti's death, Moses, who is actually Jewish and not Egyptian, is banished. However, he becomes the leader of the Jewish people and leads a rebellion, with the help of a wrathful God, against that Egyptians..

Trivia

Sigourney Weaver's role was significantly reduced in the theatrical cut of the movie. In the Interview with Jamie Lee Curtis published on February 18, 2015 Sigourney says: 'I was just in Exodus, with Joel Edgerton playing Ramses, who is an incredibly complex character trying to be a good ruler. We had all these dialogue scenes, very sophisticated scenes within the court. It's all gone. None of it exists in the actual movie. And that was something of a shock. Although I guess it's a pretty common experience'. See more »

Goofs

Camels were present in Egypt since the Early Dynastic Period (3150-2686 BC) which ended over a thousand years before the reign of Ramesses II. When historians say that camels were introduced in "North Africa" by the Romans, they actually mean in the Maghreb (modern Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia), which the Romans called Africa (Tunisia and eastern Algeria) and Mauritania (Morocco and western Algeria).

Christian humble?
26 December 2014 | by harrypaulson-111See all my reviews

Let me say immediately. Visually, technically, this film is a wonder and for that alone it deserves to be seen but then. Oh brother. Christian Bale, one of my favorites among the post-De Niro crop, is cast as Moses, you know? Moses - the man chosen by God for his humbleness. Christian's Moses blazes with self confidence. The Godly horrors known as plagues are a cinematic jaw dropping experience but when it returns to the actual drama. Oh brother. How can it possibly be? When the great Ridley Scott made his Robin Hood (did you see it?)his star Russell Crowe went to a talk show to promote the movie and called the Erroll Flynn version, "crap" - You see? I think that's at the center of the problem.
