2014 is the year that marks the Old Testament's resurgence at the films. After unleashing Darren Aronofsky's "Noah", Ridley Scott also made a move by revisiting the Moses' story.
"Exodus: Gods and Kings" is the answer to "The Ten Commandments" of Cecil B. DeMille. However, it already looks controversial compared to the old movies. Intermittently well-acted and spectacularly filmed, even if now quite as fun as the version of DeMille, the picture of "Exodus: Gods and Kings" will surely attract many people though religious leaders will protest.
Scott is really one of the best directors to do a great job in reviving this Roman epic when he made "Gladiator", an Oscar-winning film. "Exodus: Gods and Kings" isn't in the same league. However, this confirms the flair of the director for widescreen imagery. Exodus has also added extra kick of 3D technology and this comes with enough extraordinary set pieces that will please adventure fans.
When compared to the rendering of DeMille, "Exodus: Gods and Kings" doesn't start at the beginning. This will plunge everyone in the middle of action with Christian Bale as Moses. Eventually, many people have already learned the backstory of how this child managed searching a home among the kings, yet he will be introduced as the best friend and warrior of Ramses, which will be portrayed by Joel Edgerton. The very first part of this film is no ordinary. Like "Gladiator", it will give you thrill and excitement.
"Exodus: Gods and Kings", for critics, is one of the best films of 2014 that will absolutely attract millions of individuals who wanted to watch a different yet historical movie that was filmed using the latest and advanced technology. Everything in the film is well-detailed, which makes it as a compelling and spectacular movie that you must watch before the year ends.
