I think Joel Edgarton did a really great job - I do believe his performance as Ramesses was quite good. He manages to go from an unsure leader to a tyrant to a heartbroken father and Joel pulled that off brilliantly. The fact he's so damn good looking certainly helps. I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers.

Christian's answers were perfect. I like that he said "debate is healthy". Very professional answer. I cannot believe that Mr. Scott did not read the Old Testament before making this. It is unbelievable. Why would you make something so many people care about and not go to the effort to make sure you make it as true and real as you can? Why make the film at all in that case? Rather make a superhero movie about a fictional marvel character (which I would watch) that no one worships. The kid/Malak representation of G-d was my biggest issue with this movie. A voice from heaven would have been fine, a whisper on the wind would have been fine, an angel would have been fine, an old man would have been fine. But the kid came across as childish and petulant. (Great child actor, but the character didn't work.)

When the director said he did not bother to read the biblical story I actually felt nauseous. That is like making a film representation of "Moby Dick" without even reading the book. Unbelievable.

I love Bale's accent. *Swoon*

Visually stunning, yet lacking in spirituality. Which is at the core of such and ancient and Biblical story. It's portrayal of God, shows the psychology behind the screenwriters, when penning this film.

This film had everything to be something truly remarkable: Great director, awesome ensemble cast, and huge budget to support the project. But no, the writers did a HUGE MESS with the plot. Was it that hard to take the bible and read? The Prince Of Egypt is 10 times better for sure.

"You can't simply have the gulf part, just can't do that"...well yet HE could, and HE did it!

I only watched to see Maria valverde

I never found deleted scenes from it... or extended edition...

My girl friend & I watched this movie yesterday. We: love this movie; incredible movie; not boring; feel like it's real (even if we did not see it on 3D or Imax); you feel their characters; as if you are part of the movie; Bale's a great actor; Ramsey's up there w/Bale in acting. Though there's some changes, after reading the Director's explanation, I did try to accept those changes. I do hope this epic movie gets an award/awards! For me, this movie is not racist just because the main characters’ white. For me, it's worth watching!

I love this actor!!!!

I don't think the pharoah at the time of Moses was Rameses.

yehey!!! christian bale :)

It was either Christian Bale or Kevin Sorbo.

Agree 9nania And did he say he does not believe in God? Smh. Church was planner mg a movie putting to go see it... not sure if I'm interested as much now

When it comes to casting, my main complaint was the actor who played Viceroy Hegep. The actor who played him looked far too out of place. With that being said, I'm still not a huge fan of Christian Bale as Moses and Joel Edgerton as Ramesses.

I love this movie. It's fantastic 😍

I just wish it would of been more accurate to the Bible although I still like the movie alot like the kid speaking as a messanger instead of God speaking from the bush some things I thought were stupid.. if they had movies that were exactly to the Bible description I would watch them over an over although I am watching it again right now. lol

6:34 lol Ridley didley, yet you can create worlds where aliens rip out of chests and create alien human hybrids, please you don't need to believe it, just portray it accurately , it's like saying Harry potters magic wand is not possible and we cant have that, so we are going to have to change that. I know he did not write the script, he was just the director, and he didn't even need to read the source material. If you did not read the source material , you really don't have a solid opinion.

BEST MOVIE OF 2014

it's funny how a monster actor like Bale can be stressed about his performance before starting doing the movie :D such a great movie by the way and great actors

I can't believe what Joel said about the whitewashing. Wow, and he went on to film Loving...unbelievable!

9Nania.......you are so right!!!

There's a reason stories like Moses are fundamental to three major world religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) because all were rooted from the same father, Abraham.

"please go see the film" - no thanks, if I'm to watch this pap I'll stream it for free

They should have filmed that in Egypt ... :(

Believing in the fantasy story is the cause of some of the worlds problems.

who cares if theres black or white ppl.? the movie is more important than ppl criticizing about that stuff .... see the movie first before all the judgemental...and to those ppl saying there not a single dark person..check again oh and i saw the movie...its a great movie!!!

Bro they really casted these guys in Middle Eastern roles 😂🤣

Crazzy how many ignorent ppl there are . Bless our holly father... amen

The difference is Annie is a fictional character. Egyptians actually exist.

What a frickin babe.

ok yeh Moses is a historical figure for the 3 abrahamic religion sure but he was an hebrew and lead his people out of egypt to canaan modern day Israel which is the only country that has hebrew as it's official language. So I guess it's fine for other religions to play catch up now but Abraham and especially Moses, are both historical figures of jewish culture and identity.

Beyond race or historical accuracy, the REAL issue is the extraction of the "God of the Bible" from the narrative. Ridley even said he does not buy/believe the Biblical account of God speaking to Moses from heaven so he "changed" it. The same thing happened with the Noah movie earlier this year. These movies are powereless from a spiritual/redemptive perspective because the Biblical account has been trashed. Say what you will about Mel Gibson's personal life, but he got "The Passion of The Christ" darn near perfect in terms of the Biblical/historical account. And you know what?... Hollywood HATED him with a PASSION. As a result, the hollywood croud began distancing themselves from him and Jim Caviezel. Hollywood has NOT made any attempts to discredit this movie nor the Noah film. While they went to extremes to rip the Passion of The Christ to shreds. Ask yourselves why??

My favorite director, one of my favorite actors. Such a disappointing adaptation. The only way the movie works is to assume the audience knows the bible or has seen the Ten Commandments (1956). Otherwise, there's no character introductions or development. There's an assumption of prior awareness by the audience yet the director shuns a deep awareness of the original material. It feels like the material needed to make this film work was left on the editing room floor.

So, it was a tsunami, not God's will... Ok.

What about Nathan messenger ? 🤣🤷‍♂️ he who wrestles with god - I like when the messenger gets Moses's attention calling him general - not finished - I like him -

I love him but if I hear about u being in a movie I can't help but cast judgement right then and there. If I have a different opinion after the movie then so be it but that's YOUR job isn't it? To make me a believer in what u r doing in the film. So with all due respect dad. Have a ducking eggplant sandwich and shut the duck up telling me what to do.

I as Moses found eve in mountain and had kids in Jerusalem Marie the native American woman and i met again and had Aaron hes in Orville Aaron miles

Pharaoh of Egypt that name me pharaoh Joseph same pharaoh Ramsey his father Prince of Egypt lives in gold beach Oregon

His name Muhammad hes a Prince of Egypt 80 90 years old. i live in neska Oregon USA New Jerusalem

Batman actor this movie best

People say Moses didnt exist but he did exist, there is tangible and empirical geological and historical data that proves it and there are far too many accounts of his existence that come from entirely different sources with entirely different origins that its impossible that he didn't exist. And the plagues were justified as the right thing because God of Moses (Allah in Arabic, Elloh or (Eloh) in Old Hebrew) created everything and there is nothing else that sustains all existence except Him. So anyone who believes or worship anything other than Him and oppresses his creation has no room in existence, because even the air Eqyptian's inhaled was His creation, space and time dimension their bodies occupied, even their human bodies as well as their souls were His creation. He created everything out of nothing, so everything is His whether He punish it or bless it, its His will, no one has any say in it. There is just no room for anyone who believes in anything else, not on this planet neither in space. Because He created **everything** and when someone believes in anything or anyone other than Him, then they lose right to **everything**. People with alternate false believes only exist and receive sustenance to complete the life time that has been allotted to them and that is it and nothing more. There is absolutely nothing for a non believer, any kind of plague or punishment is justified for a non believing oppressor and Egyptions were the worst of the oppressors.

How dare you! You are ruining my life. Don't ever hack me again.

Rupert Murdoch sounds dumb for a chairman,damn!!!

Im the first yyyaayy

Is Joel ginger?

As Achilles i didn't die i was poison and tricked by judist priest i sent statute of me with goats head scared the greek away from king Agamemnon my men Achilles show up in Egypt kill people poison killed Samson hurcles they died building a sewage system saved Egypt

This is ridiculous

Clearly the movie is not meant to be an accurate representation of either history or ancient myth, but the larger tragedy is that over 50% of Earth's population believes it is true history, and after watching this movie their children will think "God's Chosen People" are only bald white people, and even worse, with British accents.

Ridley Scott is atheist so I understand his vision. But on not hiring actors of color I disagree.

Most bullshit makes a good movie.

EGYPT IS IN AFRICA< THE CASTING DOES NOT REFLECT THIS> VERY REFLECTIVE OF THE RACIST SoCIETY IN WHICH WE LIVE

Disrespectful to the true tale. Trying to retell the story to make it more 'believable' is spitting on peoples faith! Yet he didn't even read the story in the Old Testament. Why spend money and time to make something that you don't believe in? I wish someone else would've directed this film.

who exactly is this movie for "no christain gonna watch"no jewish person gonna watch it, athisist dont give a -- about moses, plus your misleading races ."what was the point of making this movie?

5 years later . simply bad movie

what a load of bullshit!!!

A white Rameses?!!!!......well would forgive them if it was a spoof of the Bible lol!!!!

Wow Ridley Scott and Christian Bale pandering to the Religous nutter for Christmas on $200 fantasy that is about as real as Harry Potter.

This movie is a joke, Christian Bale as Moses?! It's amazing how you can completely ignore who Ancient Egyptians were...and they certainly weren't white, yet the gaurds and servants were black.

Delutional! The people of the biblical historical document were black.....this takes place in Africa....hello??? This is a fictional movie for entertainment....not remotely based in reality!

Christian bale and Ridley Scott are both known and confirmed members of Islaminati. Islaminati has been continues to control the world through the 3 religions or concepts made by them, namely, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Islaminati wrote all three books and stories., and has also made one book look superior while the other inferior. Keeps contradictions between the concepts, so that they dont look like, all the books have been written by one author. all lies and garbage. do not fall for such crap movies. they are made for mass control. to keep us under.
