I was disappointed when it ended right after the parting of the sea. Didn't even get to the 10 Commandments.

Prince of Egypt was NOT a Disney movie. It was made by the same company that made "Anastasia".
I personally liked the movie, but I also knew what was going to happen, with the dying. Yes, I agree that God was cruel in the Old Testament. Having kids must really mellow you out (yeah, y'know, Jesus is His Son). I'm not meaning to offend anyone either,because I happen to be Christian, and more so than just giving myself the title (like a lot of people at my school do)

Ooh! I love Anastasia! It's way better than Prince of Egypt! That's the same company that made Titan A.E. (nother good movie) right?

First off I have to say this. I tired of everyone thinking that God is cruel and mean and doesn't care about anyone but the Jews. I am honestly tired of that because it's NOT the truth. God has been very merciful to me. And I'm not a Jew. I am a born again,non denominational, Bible beliving Christian with Irish and English and German roots.
Second stop thinking the Egyptians were innocent because they weren't. I'll get to it later If you call justice CRUEL than putting criminals in jail is cruel. Does God DEMAND a human sacrafice like Molech?A sacrafice where you took a KNIFE and STABBED it INTO the chest of a CHILD and while he/she was still living PULLED the BEATING heart OUT of that childs chest and burned it in front of their parents eyes?NO! And the Egyptians were being PUNISHED. If God is called cruel because he killed Egyptian first borns as a PUNISHMENT for wrong doing(and dont let me get started on what they did wrong. It'd take forever) than what would you call throwing baby Hebrews in the Nile to be drowned and EATEN by CROCODILES just for the sake of Hebrew Population Control? And whats more any Egyptian could JOIN the Hebrews if he was circumsized(sp?)and worshipped the True God of Israel from then on. God is NOT cruel. He is JUST. There is a BIG difference in JUST and CRUEL. What the Aztecs,Druids,Hittites,Ammonites, and Babylonians(to name a few) did to their prisoners,slaves, and even FAMILY members was unjust and CRUEL. If you call: Sending his son down to Heaven to earth to grow up as a human being with the same temptations we have,to die on the cruelst instrument of death in those times, to destroy the power of Satan and his power over our lives,and to RISE AGAIN a VICTOR cruel than I am glad I serve a cruel God, because he did that for us. Sam ps. I liked Anastasia, and did you know that Deep Impact was a Dreamworks production? Even though it wasn't good it still had Elijah Wood in it and I know that's ONE thing Frodo Friend and I BOTH see eye to eye for. I could just pause that movie JUST as he looks his hottest and sit there for HOURS.(J/K)

Ummm.......okay, I just won't say anything.
Deep Impact was Dreamworks too? I hated that movie! Except Elijah, of course. Dreamworks has a talent for drawing up cute cartoon characters.

Ooh, I loved Titan A.E. I almost got my hair cut and died like the girl (I cannot for the life of me remember her name)

Samwise, please calm down. I'm a believer too, but it seems you're being a little overzealous. However, maybe you're justified (everyone else was being a little judgmental)
The deal is this: The Israelites are God's chosen people. You mess with them, you've got yourself a death wish. They moved to Egypt after the famine and after several generations, a new dynasty of pharaohs took over who knew nothing of Joseph and all them. They took the Israelites captive. Four hundred years after they got to Egypt, GOd decided it was time for the Israelites to go home. The pharaoh, however, disagreed. So God decided to show him who was, well, God. He sent a series of plagues, each one of which mocks a respectively more powerful Egyptian god.... Finally Pharaoh decided to let the Israelites go. BUt then he decided to chase them and get them back... and the rest is in the Bible... (well, so was everything I just said, but maybe that'll clar stuff up). BTW: Starr you mean Akima (Drew Barrymore) Lord of the Dance, Lord of the Flies. Lord of the Rings: -The hobbits end up stranded on a desert island and pass the time by clog dancing. George Lucas does LOTR -Saruman: Join me, Gandalf! -Gandalf: Never! You killed my father! -Saruman: No, Gandalf. I am your father. Gandalf: NOOOOOOOOOOO! Disney does LOTR -Imagine live action disney LOTR BTW: No, it was not his bent knee (seen the movie too many times to believe that one). And on the cover, there was a, um, misdrawn tower. All the male characters are female and vice versa: Hey that way Liv Tyler doesn't have to STEAL a man's part. Gandalf would eat a lot more chocolate. Well, come to think of it, they would all be eating chocolate instead of smoking piepeweed all the time. Aragorn would just laugh when Eowyn begs him/her to let him/her go along. Gimli would have a ridged forhead, and no one would say Sam and Frodo were gay, cuz it's okay for girls to act like that with each other. Merry and Pippin would get yelled at more often, and insted of eating all the time, they'd say "What about Jenny Craig?" "I don't think he knows about Jenny Craig." "But what about Slim Fast, and Power Bar, and Chub Club, and Martha Stewart, and 24 Hour Fitness, and Lean Cuisine (sp?)? Do you think he knows about those?" "I wouldn't count on it." two V8s come flying at them instead of apples

I've got a better idea for George Lucas, actually I got it off of a website but it's really funny:
Gandalf:You shall not PASS! BALROG:Gandalf...I am your father. Gandalf:NOOOO...*cracks the bridge in twain. BALROG:*falls off the bridge*SOOOONNNN!!! Gandalf:*Reaches down and tries to catch the Balrog*No. FATHER.*breaks down and weeps* OR... Frodo starts fighting Gollum near the Cracks of Doom and is all struggling and stuff like that. Gollum:Hisss Precious, I am hobbitses father. Frodo:NOOOO!*starts fighting ALOT and mortally woundes Gollum* suddenly Sauron shows up and starts zapping Frodo, Gollum comes up behind him and throws him over the Cracks of Doom along with the Ring. He falls down.Frodo takes Gollums head in his lap. Frodo:Father*breaks down and weeps* Gollum:*weakly*Hsssss. Hobbits...will...forgive...us...precious...son Frodo:Yes father Gollum dies and Frodo breaks down weeping. Now THAT is the making of a REALLY scary movie. It kind of makes you wanna laugh though. Sam

Disney are soooooooo desperate for stories now they're releasing SEQUELS.... Happy ever after doesn't leave much room for a storyline does it?
Tolkien wouldn't have ever let Disney make a mockery of his life's work and neither should we! aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhh hhhhh!!!!!! The thought of it... |

I think it would be WAY scarier if Dreamworks made LotR.
Did anyone see Antz? How about The Road to Eldorado? That was a sick movie....the only way they could rate it PG was if they toned the 'love scene' like WAY down Asilynn

BTW, Don't watch the cartoon Anastasia. Watch the old version of the same title featuring Ingrid Bergman and Yul Brynner. It's much more interesting, and (dare I say?) intelligent. Of course, at that time, they didn't know whether Anna Korya (sp?)was the real thing or not, so it affects the story. |
