Just saw Ridley's Exodus. I am not happy with it. (no spoilers)

Some of the directorial liberties he took were fine, actually were a bit of an improvement as far as
portraying the relationship of the Pharoah and Moses and how Moses might really have acted/interacted.

But I really do NOT like the many other things that he chose to do; how he chose to portray them..


If anyone else has seen it from this group, I'd like to know if you give it a thumbs up or down,

I'm giving it a thumbs down.

I'll check in if I do but you've given me a good reason to pass over it.

You won't like it.

And since your post is completely non-responsive shit-stirring, you can either leave or stop it right now.

this is one religious topic that doesn't seem to have attracted much interest in discussion here, that's all.

Anything to be said by way of further elucidation would certainly be frowned upon here.

That said: I'm out, but any further discussion of the film will surely provide interesting reading.

And the OP is a movie, a distinction you should have figured out.
