With my old PS3 out-of-commission (and the new one in the shop importing my original PS3's data, which is annoyingly more complicated than it should be), I'm trying to make an effort to catch up on my backlog of movies. Well, I just finished my first one (if you're curious, the other 3 are Toy Story 3, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And yes, I know the last one is supposed to be pretty bad), The Prince of Egypt, which came highly recommended by Doug Walker, the Nostalgia Critic. Just as a disclaimer, I am not a religious person, having spent most of my time in Sunday school reading whatever book I brought in with me at the time, so I was only familiar with the basic outline of the Moses storyline. That said, I thought this was a pretty decent movie with some amazing animation (especially the parting of the Red Sea. Wow.). The focus the movie puts on the relationship between Moses and Ramises serves the story very well and makes you really feel for the plight of even the villain. However, the big reason I avoided these films when they originally appeared in theaters cropped up here: Dreamworks, if you can't hire talent to write and sing your songs on par with what Disney offers, you shouldn't make your movies musicals. The songs in this movie are pretty uniformly terrible, and the singing is all over the place. Ditto for the voice acting, which is excellent in some areas and pretty mediocre/terrible in others. The writing can also be sickeningly preachy, but I guess that's to be expected from a movie based on a story from the Bible. Recommended, but skip the songs.
