Customer Reviews:

An enduring classic epic (29 December 2008)
Charlton Heston will always be remembered as Moses and this old film is an enduring classic.

It probably can never be equalled even with all the modern CGI and special effects and to repeat myself, is an eduring classic of biblical cinematograpahy.

Falsehood, not based on the Bible at all. (11 November 2008)
This movie is very inaccurate and does not correspond to the events described in the Bible. Even worse than that --- they couldn't even get the names right --- e.g. Yochebed is called Jochabel etc. In the Bible God sends Moses but in the movie it is Joshua who does this first (and God merely (and seemingly reluctantly) confirms it with a barely audible voice from a shining (not burning as in the Bible) tree (not a bush as in the Bible). The list of errors is too big to mention them all here. Suffice it to say that I am surprized that even in 1956 people were so degenerate as to watch this rubbish and call it "Bible epic". It is more appropriate for the current times when people call white black and black white.

So it shall be written, so it shall be done (12 January 2008)
This film is over 50 years old but it is still mightily impressive,even by today's standards. "The Ten Commandments" is an epic film telling the story of Moses from his birth in Egypt right up to his arrival at the Promised Land in his old age. Charlton Heston and Yul Bryner play Moses and the Pharoah Ramses, his great rival, with much aplomb. There is a cast of thousands, still awesome special effects and a familiar, compelling storyline. I thoroughly enjoyed the film and I would recommend it especially to anyone wishing to give their child exposure to some R.E. in a particularly unreligious medium. After watching "The Ten Commandments" I wondered why with all the fantastic CGI effects available to film makers in this century that there have been no new films about the life stories of Moses and Jesus using this technology. There is bound to be a huge potential viewing audience for them , yet none appear to be forthcoming...

Fantastic, gripping film - and reverent treatment of the Scriptures. (28 August 2007)
What an amazing film. My four year old (admittedly with a brazen constitution for violence) watched this with us over 2 days, and was completely absorbed. The storytelling is wonderful - class acting from Charlton Heston, funny acting from Yul Brynner; variety of pace and some unforgettable crowd scenes. It's three hours long, which just added to the feeling of it being a special event. I would say it's very true indeed to the Exodus account, with minimal extra details. Uplifting Christian viewing.

Massive story of Biblical proportions (10 April 2007)
IN the blue corner Charlton Heston as Moses and in the red corner, Yul Bryner as the Egyptian king. These two heavyweights battle it out in a story that (excuse my French) reaches Biblical Proportions. Read the Bible and the film plays out as a near faithful adaptation. Witness one of the greatest sci effects witnessed in cinematic history with the parting of the Red Sea. Fifty years on, it still resonates as the 'piece de resistance' for this great film.
