Exodus: Gods and Kings

Bale...is perfect casting, at war with himself as much as he is with Egypt. You feel that tension throughout his performance and throughout the film.

It’s impossible not to feel some awe at the spectacle...

Whether it’s Ramses losing half his army in a horrific landslide or vast, sweeping panoramas of the Pharaoh’s Egypt in all its blood-built glory, 'Exodus' is an entertainment of the first order.

De centrale plotpunkter – særligt de ti plager – er eksekveret med overlegen, visuel finesse, og den blodrøde Nil og frøerne, der rådner i Memphis’ gader, er et frygtindgydende syn.

...er med sine effekter, sit drive og sin effektive opsætning (...) et overmåde flot og underholdende udstyrsstykke.

Det hela är spektakulärt storslaget men med Edgerton som en befriande nertonad och nyanserad Galen Härskare.
