An essential addition to your video library!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"When I first seen this video I was expecting more of the same old 1960's style bible movies. I was wrong. This seemed to be more accurate than past videos. I enjoyed it very much! The only reason that I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is there were a couple spots that were a little off and a couple ommisions. I was very tempted to give it 5 stars. Moses in real life had a speach impediment and Arron done all the talking for him, this movie (like past movies) still had Moses doing most of the talking. Little things like that effected my rating. But those types of things were few and far between and easily spotted. The important areas seemed to be accurate and very entertaining of course. I highly recommend it!"
