 An Eye Popping Epic April 18, 1999
Every scene in this film shows DeMilles artiste for the screen. The costurmes were great and I thought Anne Baxter was pretty good. It's kind of hard to believe that Charlton Heston behind all of that gray hair torwards the end though. A must see for all ages. If you get a chance to watch it, don't pass The Ten Commandments up!
Moses isn't God. April 15, 1999

This is a great movie and I liked it. But to the reviewer from "Middletown" who writes to say that this film is "accurate" and that it shows Moses' "ascension into Heaven." Be advised: according to the Bible, that event didn't happen (and it didn't happen in this movie either).

"An Eye Opener" April 7, 1999
The Ten Commandments truely captures the splendour of the Old Testiment of the Holy Bible. The dramatic parting of the sea to the acting.. everything is perfect. Three Chears DeMille!!!

Great lengths have been given to restore a truly classic and epic movie, The Ten Commandments, starring Charlton Heston and the late Yul Brynner. Though the move is dated from 1956, the beauty and clarity are beyond expectation. I have enjoyed this movie since my youngest days -I'm 50. With the DVD, gone are the flat, dulled images that made a truly great movie, only an "Ok" one. I am not sure (the packaging does not indicate) but I believe this DVD version may be taken off the restoration version in 1989 - perhaps someone can clarify that question. In any event, version has made an old move rise very close to today's quality and demands by avid movie connoisseurs. The DVD version has also made the special effects and colors very, very impressive, bringing out everything from the richest blues, golds and greens, to warmest reds, browns, and skin tones - with no flat appearances typical with VHS. As is typical with DVDs, there is not the jitteriness or graininess that is often associated with VHS. The sound is also crisp, deep, and clear, no longer muffled and drowned out by years of use and re-releases. As a benefit, the music score by Elmer Bernstein is once again powerful and very compelling. Cecil B. DeMille would smile in his grave - hopefully in heaven - if he beheld the wonderful work that went into this newest release of The Ten Commandments. Today, movies goers, especially those who have never laid eyes on this classic, will thoroughly enjoy this. Paramount is not noted for doing justice to DVD versions of their movies - including director-type versions with commentaries. This DVD version has three trailers for its feature and no commentaries. This too, is unfortunate. However, I still highly recommend this DVD to all lovers of truly good films. This movie brings back the excitement and joy it was meant to have, and it will be one that a viewer or viewers can cherish time and time again, not only for the story line and acting, but how this version makes it seem more like it was shot on location, rather than just in studio stages. I give five stars.
