Abraham (1993)

Best Bible movie ever!

[10/10 · 5 September 2006]

Acting was superb and the accuracy of the story went along well with the Bible. Best of all the story was quite interesting even the filler that the director used with artistic license. Special effects could have been better but the story made up for it. It's 3.5 hours but well worth the time to watch it. Has the true spirit of Jehovah in the movie. A very inspirational movie.

Moses (1995–1996)

Not accurate and horribly acted by Kingsley

[1/10 · 5 September 2006]

I am a huge fan of Ben Kingsley, but this was terrible overacting on his part. The problem of this movie isn't acting, though. The inaccuracy of the movie is its greatest problem. This is the story of Moses according to a certain sect within the Protestant religion, and not an accurate description of the Bible account. The discrepancies are so huge between the movie and the Bible that they can not be called artistic license or a misinterpretation. The movie promotes so many lies with the story of Moses that this movie is more of a work of fiction that a Bible story. Some examples of the inaccuracies are: 1)Moses strongly doubts his encounter with God at the burning bush and is pushed into serving God by his father-in-law and his wife. 2)Pharoah's priests don't use Satan's power to turn two staffs into serpents, and Moses' serpent does not consume the two serpents of the devil. In the movie the Egyptian priests only use tricks to turn the staffs in serpents. 3)Moses commands Joshua and others to blot out the calf worshipers' name by physically killing them.

There are more discrepancies than these but these are enough to show that this movie deviates from the Bible so much that a devote Christian or Jew would be seriously offended.
