The biggest complaint that people seem to have is the pacing which is quicker than most people are used to but I thought it actually fit pretty well considering that's kind of how it is paced in the Bible, no bullshitting, just saying what needs to be said and moving on. Now it does have the negative effect of not giving much characterization to any character besides Moses, Ramses, the older Pharaoh, and Zipporah. Particularly Moses' enslaved family is lacking in depth, he mentions they are his brothers and we get a scene were one is smiling while being whipped and they seem to be commanders in his army but that's about it. Now that we're past the one big negative let's see what went right. The action scenes are beautiful and intense just like you'd expect from a Ridley Scott film. The god scenes are far better than I was expecting, there's enough involvement from God to be a true Exodus adaptation but there is also plenty of room for people's decisions to really matter and not get completely overshadowed. This movie has possibly the greatest costume design I have ever seen, every single person in the frame has an incredible outfit. Everything from wedding clothes to armor looks absolutely stunning. The acting is great all around, the cinematography is great (particularly the use of light), and the story is engaging enough for pretty much anyone to enjoy, regardless of your religion. I really enjoyed this film, another reviewer said it's similar to Kingdom of Heaven which is 100% true, if you like KoH then you'll like Exodus. If you're on the fence about watching this give it a shot.
