Exodus: Gods and Kings
The defiant leader Moses rises up against the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses, setting 400,000 slaves on a monumental journey of escape from Egypt and its terrifying cycle of deadly plagues.
Critics Sentiment
Hebrews cross the Red Sea as waters part miraculously
Moses marries Zipporah and has son Gershom in Midian
The film drops significantly during the slow middle section in Midian then surges back up for the spectacular Red Sea crossing sequence.
Exodus: Gods and Kings starts strong with impressive battle sequences but suffers from severe pacing issues and weak character development in the middle act. The film recovers somewhat with the plagues and Red Sea crossing providing visual spectacle, though many felt it lacked the emotional depth and gravitas of previous biblical epics.
