15 Images That Will Restore Your Faith In Upcoming Movies

4. Moses' Body Armour - Exodus: Gods & Kings

Why We're Worried: Another biblical epic? Yawn. Granted, the story of Moses hasn't been brought to the screen on this scale before, but Ridley Scott is proving to be a frustratingly inconsistent director these days: The Counselor was considered a disappointment by most, Prometheus didn't quite live up to its lofty promise, Robin Hood was forgettable, and Body of Lies also squandered its awesome potential. It doesn't exactly give us tremendous confidence for Exodus, and the fact that the movie's three screenwriters having worked on projects as diverse as Schindler's List (yes!), Moneyball (yes!), Tower Heist and...the Olsen Twins' New York Minute...makes us worry for a jumbled final product. Why This Image Rocks: The above image of Christian Bale's Moses heading into battle in full body armour is certainly a sight to see. Above all else, this gives us hope that Scott's movie won't be a stodgy, overly talky depiction of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, but will boast some kick-a** action and deliver some raucous set-pieces which, even in Scott's lesser movies, he can characteristically deliver.
