Basically, they turn Moses into an arrogant terrorist. He also demands of Pharoah to give his people their citizenship. LOL! Can I hear Amnesty!!! Oh, Hollywood. :thumbsdown
God’s On Trial In ‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’
‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ shows no love for its subject matter and little awareness of history to help wash it down.
Fleeing into the wilderness, Moses meets a local girl (Maria Valverde), marries, and settles into a life of sheepherding. But one day—wouldn’t you know?—he gets knocked on the head. He sees first a burning bush, then a small, angry boy who chides him about his lack of concern for his suffering people. Moses is to return to Egypt and free his people, by force if necessary. Tellingly, Moses carries a sword, never a staff.
More importantly, the film changes the tone and ideas of the story. The central conflict is not between Moses and Ramses, but between little-boy-God and Moses. They yell at each other, they snipe, they call each other nasty names and accuse each other of being heartless, uncaring meanies. The only thing they never do is listen to each other. At the end, as Moses chips painstakingly at some stone tablets, little-boy-God wonders that Moses “doesn’t agree with” Him, but sticks around. Moses concedes that he “doesn’t agree with” little-boy-God, but at least they’re still talking.

Beck: New ‘Exodus’ Movie Makes Moses ‘Arrogant’ Before Turning Him Into a ‘Terrorist’
“There were a couple things I didn’t agree with. Like for instance, Moses doesn’t believe in God,” Beck began on his radio program. “He’s like, ‘I’m not going to be lectured by you.’”
“And God is [an] 11-year-old kid who I think is more like a Buddhist monk, because he’s constantly making tea,” Beck added. “I don’t know why he’s making tea.”
The [water] turning into blood — it’s because these gigantic, huge crocodiles come out into the Nile,” Beck said. “And they eat people on a boat. And then it’s all blood.”
“The problem is, your kids will see this on Netflix,” Beck said. “And this will be the story of Moses that will embed in their heads. I don’t think it’s the worst movie I’ve seen. I think it’s one of the more dangerous movies I’ve seen, religiously speaking, because it’s all screwed up.”
