a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

When Joseph receives a beautiful coat from his parents, his eleven brothers hate him even more, and are driven to sell him to desert merchants, who take him to Egypt. There he is made the servant of a wealthy Egyptian who misunderstands him, and has him thrown into prison. Despite the very good animation and voice acting such as Ben Affleck and Mark Hamill 'Joseph: King of Dreams' is kind of slow and hollow and felt to me more like an Aladdin sequel than a religious film about Joseph and i think i was very disappointed with what it turned out to be.

This is just..... wrong. The film itself is okay, but you can NOT make film about Joseph that contains songs, and not use the proper musical ones.As a film it's fine. Prince of Egypt was much better, but it was nice to see a main character that actually has flaws. Yes, Joseph is a bit if a douche, but then he's coddled by hus parents and protected from having to do the same woork all of his brothers do. You do feel for him as he watches them play and relax, and it's clear then that he just wants to be included but is excluded by both the brothers and Jacob. Potifar was done well, snd the wife is just the right combination of seductive and nasty.The problem is the songs. They're just not that good, and with there already being a Joseph musical that has been aroind for years and is phenomenally popular as well as having a range of excellent songs in a variety of styles, it falls down badly in this respect. It would have been better having no music at all.

Dreamworks made this film after their runaway success with another Biblical movie: "The Prince of Egypt." That film was an amazing film, both in story and in its groundbreaking animation and wonderful music.This film, however, while it still retains the great storyline that the Bible will always give, fails on all other levels. The voices aren't that great, the music is boring, the animation is ho-hum, and it all comes together rather sloppily. Worst of all, this movie is screaming the fact that it's a follow-up of "Prince of Egypt." Sure, watch this film once for its great themes on forgiveness. Also watch this if you have little kids, who won't mind the mediocre talent behind this piece. After that, rewatch "The Prince of Egypt" and enjoy it some more, because it's really a lot, lot better than this little creation.

The movie is a good watch but it doesn't really impress.The movie feels like it had been made in an hurry. The movie is pretty short and even though the story covers everything that needs to be told it still feels hasty all.The animations are decent but turn pail compared to other Dreamworks animated movie "The Prince of Egypt". The only scene's that are above average are the early dream scene's that seemed to be heavily inspired on the style of van Gogh paintings. Some of the other later dream sequences rely too much on some weak computer animations.The songs are simply horrible, there is no tone in them and are merely some spoking sentences that are sung with some music played under it. The song "Better than I" however is an exception and is actually very good.Pleasant to watch but also very easy to forget.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
