Plugged In
Prince. Prophet. Patriarch. ... Prankster?
While DreamWorks' tale of Moses' life may stray occasionally from the chapter-and-verse account found in Exodus 1-14, The Prince of Egypt reverently brings biblical history back to the big screen. Not since ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Plugged In
CineFile : il Cinema in Rete (Alberto Cassani)
“Prince of Egypt” è la prima vera produzione di Jeffrey Katzenberg da quando ha lasciato gli studi Disney e fondato la “Dreamworks” insieme a Steven Spielberg e David Geffen. A dir la verità la Dreamworks nei primi 4 anni di vita non aveva ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at CineFile : il Cinema in Rete (Alberto Cassani)
reVision
E' bene rendersi conto che non esistono più cartoni animati per bambini. Anzi non è più neppure possibile parlare di cartoni animati nel senso classico del termine. Il cinema di animazione è rapidamente cresciuto, così come altrettanto rapidamente ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at reVision
Washington Post (Michael O'Sullivan)
As a rule, the drawn and computer-animated imagery is top notch and seamlessly integrated, but the central characters' tawny complexions and the often chiaroscuro lighting sometimes obscure all but the whites of their eyes and their pearl-perfect teeth. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Washington Post (Michael O'Sullivan)
DVDTown.com (John J. Puccio)
Maybe we should overlook the fact that the film's music and songs will be forgotten long before its images die away. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at DVDTown.com (John J. Puccio)
Film Threat (Ron Wells)
Much of the animation is stunning and all of the vocal performances are good to great. It's just much of the passion seems to be in not stepping on anyone's beliefs or interpretations, instead of in telling the story in the most compelling way possible. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Film Threat (Ron Wells)
Netflix (James Rocchi)
Tempi Moderni
Resoconto abbastanza fedele dell'Esodo biblico, "Il Principe d'Egitto" segnala l'ingresso della Dreamworks, la società capitanata da Steven Spielberg, nell'olimpo dei grandi dell'animazione. Per distinguersi nettamente dalla Disney, il film presenta ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Tempi Moderni
Moviola (Jorge G. Avila Andrade)
En esta ocasión, Dreamworks SKG hace su debut en el mundo de la animación tradicional con la cinta El PrÃncipe de Egipto, intentando quitarle un poco de su gloria a los todavÃa poderosos pero cada vez más amenazados estudios Disney. Y el resultado ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Moviola (Jorge G. Avila Andrade)
Club Culture
Après quatre années de travail, 350 artistes, animateurs et techniciens provenant de 35 pays différents et un travail de recherches auprès de spécialistes tels égyptologues, archéologues, historiens, ethnologues, érudits en matière de religion ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Club Culture
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Margaret A. McGurk)
A richly imagined tale based on the first half of the biblical Book of Exodus, the movie raises animated story-telling to new levels of depth and maturity.
The story opens with a Hebrew mother setting her infant son adrift to escape a murderous ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at The Cincinnati Enquirer (Margaret A. McGurk)
The Helen Mirren Appreciation Society
It may not have the weight and scope of The Ten Commandments, but The Prince of Egypt is certainly lovely to look at. With stylized animation that succeeds most elegantly with the Queen (voiced by Helen Mirren) and a palate of desert colors, the film ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at The Helen Mirren Appreciation Society
Box Office Magazine
Voiced by Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Patrick Stewart, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum and Danny Glover. Directed by Brenda Chapman, Steve Hickner and Simon Wells. Story supervised by Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook. Produced by Penney ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Box Office Magazine
Boxoffice Magazine
The Biblical Book of Exodus provides the basis for this rags-to-riches-to-salvation rendition of the life of Moses. Keeping true to the story (with the filmmakers going so far as to consult religious scholars), "The Prince of Egypt" tells the tale in a ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Boxoffice Magazine
Boxoffice Magazine
DreamWorks' ambitious 1998 PG-rated telling of the Moses/Exodus story, "The Prince of Egypt," must be considered a praiseworthy effort if for no other reason than the determination of its makers to remain true to the tale, even at the risk of the ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Boxoffice Magazine
Megaklik - no nonsense movie reviews in Slovene
Ko da faraon Seti (Patrick Stewart) utopiti vse hebrejske novorojence, obupana mati svojega skrije, ga položi v koÅ¡aro in spusti po reki, ki ga pripelje naravnost v faraonovo palaÄŤo. Kraljica ga posvoji in poimenuje Mojzes. Mojzes (Val Kilmer) odraste ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Megaklik - no nonsense movie reviews in Slovene
LA Weekly (Manohla Dargis)
Thou shalt not covet any thing that is thy neighbor's. Maybe DreamWorks should stop trying to be Disney. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at LA Weekly (Manohla Dargis)
Dallas Observer (Michael Sragow)
The producers of this glorified latter-day frieze have gone nuts for computer-generated extras without clinching the essentials of character and catharsis. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Dallas Observer (Michael Sragow)
The New Yorker (Anthony Lane)
The few good jokes (most of them courtesy of the Pharaoh's high priests, voiced by Martin Short and Steve Martin) are swallowed up in this humorless epic. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at The New Yorker (Anthony Lane)
Needcoffee.com - Movie Review
That's right, it's the book of Exodus. They've thrown in some unnecessary action sequences, i.e. a Ben Hur chariot race down the scaffolding of a monument whilst the nose of said monument is a close third, but all in all, you've got Exodus. And therein ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Needcoffee.com - Movie Review
San Francisco Examiner (Juan M. Mendez)
The spectacle is huge; the animation, breathtaking. In many ways, it is the epic of biblical proportions the filmmakers hoped for. But, like the Good Book itself, The Prince of Egypt can also be tedious, self-important and at times exhausting. ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at San Francisco Examiner (Juan M. Mendez)
Revenge of the Audience (Erik Gregersen)
SPLICEDwire (Rob Blackwelder)
Who'd have ever thought Biblical plagues and pestilence could be summed up in a four-minute musical montage? Who'd have ever thought Moses could be reduced to an lightly austere cartoon hero with a furrowed brow and a sassy slave girl for a ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at SPLICEDwire (Rob Blackwelder)
Palo Alto Weekly (Susan Tavernetti)
Ricardo A Lafaurie Jr.
This is my first review that I post to this newsgroup, and I kind of feel like I have to say something negative about this film. No one else seems to care that it takes certain liberties that should not be taken with a historical story. However, even if ...read the complete Prince of Egypt movie review at Ricardo A Lafaurie Jr.
