I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Am I Missing Something?

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I decided to watch this movie to familiarize myself with one of the greatest stories in western culture. After some 90 minutes I have to ask, what did I just watch? This was morally so disturbing that it made me feel sick. Listening "There can be miracles/When You Believe" didn't feel quite right after seeing God killing city full of Egyptian families and children just cause their race. There were plenty of scenes where I found it easier to identify myself with the antagonist, which is always a good sign...

The Prince of Egypt was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and my opinion, one of the top three Dreamworks movies. It tells the story of Moses in it's own beautiful artstyle and storyline depicted of his time before he was called to deliver the Hebrew People from the Egyptians. The music and songs were always intense and I still enjoyed it even when I grew up. The beauty and intense emotion delivered by these 2-D characters brings about a magic that any and all ages can enjoy. As said in the description above, you don't have to be a Christian or religious at all to enjoy this movie. The Prince of Egypt has some of the most powerful artwork and depictions of family and friends including what it means to be an ordinary man who with the help of God can do extraordinary things. The Prince of Egypt is not a perfect film and like any film telling a biblical story or anything religious at all, it never will be. But it is still an enjoyable experience that I plan to share with my children for years to come and show them just what Dreamworks was capable of back then.

This film is such an emotional experience, I literally cry throughout the film, not just one or two places, but throughout. If anyone says DreamWorks isn't talented or anything like that, they need to check their pulse, because this film made Disney realize what a monster DreamWorks could eventually come, but a good monster, at least for us audiences. OK, what is it that makes this film so wonderful. The idea of tackling such a sensitive topic as the story of Moses really was a risky move for DreamWorks, a film that could make or break them. Kudos, because it was so risky. They didn't shoehorn anything and gave us a fully realized, and well put together masterpiece of a film. Now here in 2017 and beyond people are starting to realize the brilliance and the majesty of the film. What works so well is the effort put into this, the music by Hans Zimmer is his best since The Lion King, and the songs are better than the songs Disney was making at the time in 1998. So much so that one was rewarded an Oscar. As of right now it is the only DreamWorks song "When You Believe" to win an Oscar. The animation is topnotch, about as good as The Lion King, and the story is heartwarming, and heartbreaking at times. The film isn't afraid to go to some dark places. The performances of the actors was genuine especially from Val Kilmer and Ralph Fiennes. Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum make an appearance which is always nice. The only problem I have is the attempt at comedy. If you can't make good comedy work in a drama film like this, don't do it at all. But of course it had to appeal to kids somewhat. That's one thing about animated films is they always have to appeal to kids one way or another, even in films that don't need the lowbrow humor for your toddler. If they took the comedy out, it would have been more impactful than it already is. This isn't the only film that does it though, a generally great film but is bombarded by needless and forced comedy. Animated films should help kids grow, not stay kids. So let some blood on screen, let murder happen on screen, life isn't always fun and sweet. But, that's the only grip, other than that, its great. Now to grade. Animation: A Story: A+ Characters: A- Music: A+ Comedy: D+ Overall: A

A movie to support the indoctrination of young children into Bible fanaticism. And as to believe that you have to avoid reading the original text, this is a good example to give to the children. No gore, no sex, just as God intended to do the Bible and somehow forgot.Or in short: nobody can get close to Disney, so Dream Works has to feed niche markets in order to get some extra ticket sales and DVD rentals.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
