I found Rameses to be a much more likable and sympathetic character than Moses in this movie.

I'm not going to debate religion, and I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that slavery is bad, but he just kinds of shows up and tries to threaten the way their society works with basically what amounts to "God said so" and "I grew up with you, and you owe it to me." Then a bunch of children died.

I really felt bad for the guy. Look at the position he's stuck in.

This - though I think that can be applied to the background characters as well. And come, Steve Martin and Martin Short as the priests? AWESOME [...and it doesn't hurt that their names amuse me >>;;]

That said, yeah slavery is horrible, but Rameses' reaction to what Moses was demanding, and for the reasons he was demanding it, are realistic. Telling a society to change 'Because [a god you don't believe in] says so!' just isn't usually going to work without a *lot* persuading of some type.

out of curiosity are you trying to make the case here that the deaths of the Egyptian kids were more important than the deaths of the Hebrew kids? Because uuuhhh you don't seem to be taking that part into account.

I doubt that's what they're saying - they didn't specify *what* kids died...and let's face it. Kids dying on both sides was horrible.
