Ten Commandments DVDThis is an awesome movie, although very dated, which is the only reason I took a star away. For the time, it was awesome, but everytime I see the part where the fire comes down from the sky at the red sea, I have to laugh at the cheesy effects. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ten Commandments DVDEdward G Robinson was still a gangster in this film but a great religious one to watch, especially the parting of the sea........ Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ten Commandments DVDReleased in 1956 and directed by Cecil B. DeMille, "The Ten Commandments" is the epitome of big budget, big production films of that era. Charlton Heston plays Moses in his typical epic manner as only he can and is supported by Yul Brynner as Rameses (Pharaoh), Anne Baxter as Nefertiti, and Edward G. Robinson bringing a little gangster flair to the proceedings. The movie takes us through the life of Moses as the adopted child of Pharaoh, his realization of his Hebrew heritage, his toils with Rameses, and the struggles in Sinai and the wilderness. Everything is big in this picture, including the length (a whopping 220 minutes) and special effects (most notably the parting of the Red Sea). As DeMille's last film, the bottom line is that "The Ten Commandments" is a campy, yet classic movie that is a must see for fans of big production cinema. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ten Commandments DVDCastleBee summed it up - not a perfect film, but highly entertaining - E G Robinson and Brynner crack me up every time! Great special effects, though, and a highly entertaining spectacle. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ten Commandments DVDDeMille's last film and he pulled out all the stops. Moses turned his back on a privileged life to lead his people out of Egypt. It has an exceptional cast and the parting of the Red Sea rivals any modern special effects. Especially loved Charlton Heston and Anne Baxter. "Oh Moses, Moses, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool!" Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ten Commandments DVDThe first half was hard to follow, but when it got rolling it was an incredible movie with startling special effects...especially considering how long ago it was made. I've never seen a single movie that did justice to a Bible story, except for this one. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ten Commandments DVDDirector Cecil B. DeMille's best film, about Moses from the old testament. A gigantic production packed with enormous crowd scenes, lavish spectacles and widescreen special effects orchestrated with dazzling brilliance. The second greatest historical religious movie ever made, The first is Ben Hur. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ten Commandments DVDCharlton Heston was not a good Moses. The Bible describes Moses as a poor speaker who he had to ask his brother Aaron to speak for him. But Cecil B. De Mille knew that his audience would not stand for a hero who was anything less than perfect. Heston overdoes his role as he does all his roles; he and William Shatner must have gone to the same acting school. The film gets an extra star for its impressive, groundbreaking special effects.

Ten Commandments DVDwhile the political correct talking heads of today love to sarcastically call charlton heston the 'moses of the national rifle association', he nontheless, is an imposing figure, an excellent choice as moses, and cecil b.demille told the story of moses leading the jews out of israel well in this production...a good family film for any occasion..

Ten Commandments DVDI know, I know in retrospect it has some fairly corny lines. Like Anne Baxter’s breathy “Oh, MOSES, MOSES!” and Edward G. Robinson “Ehhh, whadaya think of yer Moses NOOOW!” in his best 1930’s gangster-ese. Still, I really love this old acorn and look forward to watching it on a yearly basis. It actually has some excellent acting and tells a great story in an entertaining, albeit somewhat dated way. I was a bit miffed when it was dropped from the lineup for a few years running, but happy to see it return this year. I especially think it was good timing to schedule it yesterday – a day celebrated as both Passover and Palm Sunday – since it potentially has appeal for both the Jewish and Christian communities.

Ten Commandments DVD
A film that begs to be viewed on the big screen. And I mean a really big screen! This film was made back when people had faith. I guess that makes it "campy" to todays' crowd. Tells a famous biblical story in the larger-than-life method that Cecille B. DeMille employed many times over in an era of declining box office receipts. I believe it was a big success at the time and attracted a large audience.
