You are going to enjoy watching the magnificent sequence of millions of frog jumping in ancient buildings. But.no! 'We are going to earn a lot of money. Why no body cares about character building and good script? At one level, it feels extremely sad that with this budget and this talent in technology, even a slight efforts and honesty towards script, story, and dialogue can take such movies to a masterpiece level. What's up with Hollywood? Is this much technology and huge funding to such directors destroying the creativity. However, any interest or so will end in next 10 minutes or so, when the story starts lacking. In the beginning, you would feel as if Ridley took you to the ancient Egyptian world, just because of the small details shown in the effects.

At many places, it is boring, even if the cinematography and visual effects are great. But there is everything missing in Exodus that made Gladiator a hit. Venketeshs first novel in English, Gods, Kings & Slaves: The Siege of Mad. It is hard to imagine the same guy directed Gladiator (I haven't seen Aliens and blade runner). Gods, Kings & Slaves: The Siege of Madurai. But the lack of good writing, script, and no contribution from other actors diminish the effect of Bale as well. Acting by Christian Bale is quite alright, but it is nothing special. That's it! There is nothing more that I could appreciate. 3-D adds a lot of pleasure in viewing such effects. I have never ever seen so detailed visuals of ancient buildings, slums of slaves, and huge ocean waves and what not. In Exodus, by the famed director Ridley Scott, he surpassed many elements in visual effects. What's up with Hollywood? Other than spectacular visuals and 3-D, they don't seem to care enough about anything else. Venketeshs Gods, Kings & Slaves revolves around Crown Prince Veera Pandyan, who is set to ascend the throne at Madurai, a city that is known for its riches. Seeing just 5 reviews, I wanted to give mine too. Why? Because the movie hasn't been released in USA yet, and I just watched in India. After moving with his wife and two children to a smallholding in Ireland, Paul Kingsnorth expects to find contentment.
