Uber-broody Christian Bale is cast as a sword-wielding Moses who leads 600,000 Jewish slaves out of Egypt to freedom and along the way they meet all sorts of zany characters and exciting hijinks ensue Visually, the film is pretty damned spectacular, in both scenery and special effects, never denying itself the chance of a sweeping CGI overhead shot of the ancient lands and cities. Elsewhere like in the heart and brains department, Exodus lacks a great deal. Scott tries to scientifically explain all the biblical events like the parting of the Red Sea or the different plagues and in turn, he sucks all the magic out of what is actually a pretty amazing story and turns it into dazzling dullness.

Christian Bale helps the Christians bail.

I'm so sorry I missed that opportunity. :doc:
So very sorry.
That Nut was pretty much sitting there waiting for all sorts of "I can't believe he just said that" but sadly I had to refrain myself and stick to actually wiping my proper Nuts on it.
