"So let it be written, so let it be done." This movie transcends time. It was moving when I was a child and I still feel moved as an adult. This is when they took the time to make quality movies.... Full review

I have been watching the Ten Commandments since I was eight years old. I love the acting by Yul Brynar, Charlton Heston, as well as many others. My favorites parts are the costumes. The design is magnificent. Any Bible of Charlton... Full review

Personally I didn’t like this movie because I don’t like movies that were made that long ago (except for the wizard of oz). Although its not the main focus of my reviews the movie has to have somewhat good special effect... Full review

The story is taken from the Bible, with a few historical add-ins. The movie is the best at what it was set up to do, tell the story of Moses from birth to receiving the Ten Commandments, and not being able... Full review

it has its merits and I can now proudly say I've seen this Biblical epic, with the metaphorical scars to prove it.....That love story is another problem in general.....I can't say that I liked this movie....The best part of the movie is Heston himself.....Though I'm no great believer in his acting skills, his performance as Moses is honest and true.... ...

Yes, I'm talking about the 1956 religious classic The Ten Commandments.....I really didn't enjoy The Ten Commandments.....Back in the first golden age of cinema....Other actors, such as John Derek, Anne Baxter, and Edward G. Robinson, don't fare so well and are fairly laughable in their various portrayals.....Despite those incredibly popular films, the epic is not a normal movie Hollywood makes anymore, mostly.... ...
