Yul Brynner's Ramesses was a much cooler guy than Charlton Heston's Moses...and I'm Jewish

2. I always wondered if their god was all powerful why did he not just let his people leave without

all that hysterical plague stuff. and why did he let his people become slaves in the first place. not a nice guy IMO and Yul was a hunk!

4. Because he wasn't all powerful. He couldn't defeat the Canaanites because

the had iron chariots. One wonders what god would do against modern weapons.

And of course, the idea that Jews were ever slaves in Egypt is pure fantasy.

3. Edward G. Robinson's worst casting.

But he was good as always.
