"Exodus: Gods and Kings" - Bad at the Theater....Better at Home?
Unfortunately, one of the movies I am looking forward to seeing, Exodus: Gods and Kings got attacked by 'the critics'. Generally, that does not affect how I feel towards a film, nor do i pay that much attention to it. But it's at 27% at the moment (top critics) on Rotten Tomatoes. I am sure I will still see the film, but perhaps not in theaters. Something similar happened with Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, where the 'director's cut' on DVD was a vastly superior film (thanks to the success and footsteps of The Lord of the Rings extended editions) which in fact, made the film pretty amazing. Likewise with Robin Hood , although there was not drastic enough difference between the unrated and theatrical. And, I saw this on Wikipedia: "I n an interview for Access Hollywood , Scott claimed there was a "final" cut of the film that was 4 hours, implying that the version released in theaters was reduced by 90 minutes." So I shall be...
