Let's be realistic.

Absolutely amazing
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
View MoreLooking back at how awesome the 1956 Ten Commandments movie makes me realize how great religious movies can be. You don't have to be Christian or religious to appreciate how beautiful these films can be. This, on the other hand, is the second worst depiction of the Bible I've seen in my entire life, just to "Joshua And The Promised Land". It actually makes me realize that it's been a long time since I've read my Bible. Anyway, the CGI in this film is absolutely horrendous. It looks like awful video game graphics. I look back at how old video game CGI doesn't hold up.Even then, the first CGI movies seem to hold up a lot better! Everything and everyone in this movie is so ugly to look at. I guess it's pretty faithful to the Bible. What also makes it bad is how annoying the characters are. There's this one fat guy who does nothing but complain the entire movie. I also don't like the way Moses immediately accepts the fact that he's Hebrew. "Prince Of Egypt" showed that a good Biblical movie could be made, especially one based on the book of Exodus. While I personally don't find to be that on the same level as the 1956 epic, you still should really check that one out over this. I heard it performed terribly at the box office to the point it's not even in Leonard Maltin's book. *1/2
View MoreI 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.
View MoreI watched this movie, with my kids, and they were captivated. I was so glad to have something other than occultic cartoons and sponge bob. The story was Biblically accurate and very compelling. The animation is not at the same level as $100 million productions from major studios like Dreamworks's "Prince of Egypt". However, sequences like God writing the tablets for Moses were spectacular and much better than major studio versions. I recommend the DVD for the kids, definitely worth picking on Walmart or a Target trip. If you are a Christian parent, it's a must-have. I see that Promenade pictures has announced NOAH and David as in production. I'll bet this studio has developed their technology a lot and I will not be surprised if their subsequent movies are of the highest level and Oscar nominated.
View MoreI saw this movie during a church function. The graphics were very basic, but that fact that it accurately depicts the story of moses and the ten commandments is why this movie receives my thumbs up. This is a movie that i think was well received by children. The fact that the movie is animated is why the kids were drawn into the story. This movie is for a family setting of parents and their children. I noticed that older viewers did not really watch the movie closely. I would recommend this movie to anybody who wants to teach their children about the bible and its wonderful stories. Overall this work is decent and should be used as an education resource to explore one great story of the old testament.
