Visually ZERO. Story ZERO. Acting ZERO. You could drop a sudden "sharknado" in the middle of this mess and you would not bat an eye---it would count as story development.

What a mess of a movie. It's just a bunch of glowing CGI nonsense slopped all over the screen while actors, both with and without talent, wander around. This is not a movie I would pay to see but even catching it for free on televisionWhat a mess of a movie. It's just a bunch of glowing CGI nonsense slopped all over the screen while actors, both with and without talent, wander around. This is not a movie I would pay to see but even catching it for free on television doesn't mitigate how much of a waste of space it is.

Despite the garishness of it all, there were a couple character beats that held some potential, but sadly that went mostly unrealized. It just wasn't a good movie. Even as mindless action, it didn't really work, because the preponderance of bad CGI just made everything feel too cartoonish.… Expand

In the span of two hours of dreadful script and forceful plot, any glint of opulence can't save "Gods of Egypt" from being mindlessly numb.

"Gods of Egypt" asks an age old question, "Does flashy sparkle outweighs written words?”.In the span of two hours of dreadful script and forceful plot, any glint of opulence can't save "Gods of Egypt" from being mindlessly numb.

"Gods of Egypt" asks an age old question, "Does flashy sparkle outweighs written words?”. Unfortunately for the two hours movie, its visual is inconsistent and the story has so many illogical flaws, that whatever gorgeous scenery it has would feel bland. Furthermore, the acting is sloppy, having less-than-charismatic characters mumbling cringe-worthy monologue for half its time.

This is the tedious story of Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), the supposed king of fictional Egypt where gods and mortals live side by side. He then finds opposition from his uncle Set (Gerard Butler). He then forms unusual alliance with Bek (Brenton Thwaites), a human thief with a single-minded drive for juvenile love.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Gerard Butler are not bad, they have experience on this type of epic saga as Jaime Lannister and Leonidas, respectively. However, this also feels as though they are just going through the motion. Here they are shades, less appealing and more brooding version of their famous roles.

Bek as the other main lead is your typical charming hoodlum without the charm. His characterization is too rigid and any attempt to romanticized or deliver witty humor is instead annoying. The two leading females are too over zealously created for flamboyant melodramatic romance. There are a couple decent supporting cast such as Rufus Sewell as Urshu and Chadwick Boseman as Thoth, but they merely have small portions of spotlight.

The script feels forced to create any chemistry between the characters, however it often sounds like soap opera. Not to mention story line is plagued by awful plot devices. Being gods doesn't exemplify them from having sudden illogical and convenient twists, a few of these might be fine, but after half dozen times audience would appreciate more explanation than simple magic.

Visual is arguably pretty. At its best the movie offers some aesthetically pleasing scenes and the costumes worn as well as the set are very easy on the eyes. Still, among these beautiful people and vistas, it's not often to see it smeared by strangely subpar CGI, as though these are Transformers made from low budget production.

Tainted by shady narrative, corrupted visual and barren script, "Gods of Egypt" is mindlessly numb.… Expand

When there's a clash between 2 of them (Gerard Butler and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), a mortal (Brenton Thwaites) joins the battle to save the world...and his girlfriend. It plays out more preposterous than it sounds. There are numerous chases and fights (none are exciting or innovative), weird creatures (which inspire no awe) and fantastical locations (badly rendered CGI). To add to the absurdity: almost every character, except various slaves and other lowly types, are blandly pale with British accents (speaking ridiculous dialogue). At least it's paced well enough, but that doesn't overcome the fact that it's cheesy, cliché-ridden and epically awful.… Expand

I thought there wasThere are many things wrongs with this film so I'll pick a few to cover: I don't like how the actors playing Gods were CG'd larger than humans, It felt very out of place and seemed very much like a waste of time and money. I thought there was way too much reliance on CG in general and it's so poorly done that it everything, especially the awful fight scenes, stick out like a sore thumb. Like it's way too obvious that it's fake in comparison to let's say a Marvel film where it is still kind of grounded in reality.

I also felt the movie was very poorly edited. It just jumped from area to area with little to no explanation as to how the characters got there. It felt as if I had just skipped the 5 minutes prior to explaining how/why they got to where they are. IDK if it was just sloppy writing or not but it became even more obvious as the film went on.

Now the film isn't a total wash as Coster-Waldau and Butler are fine leads and in any other circumstances, It would have been great to see both pitted against each other. Sadly, Gods of Egypt tired too hard to be this big CG blockbuster when it should have tried to tone things down a bit.… Expand

The effects are inconsistent from scene to scene, the action is terrible. I hated this film. This is a damming indictment of where Blockbusters are going and the fact that the director of this film, who also directed I Robot, had the nerve to have a go at critics, calling them vultures, for daring to negatively review this film is rich because frankly this film deserves every negative backlash it can get. It is an awful piece of work and Mark Kermode said it best, you have to remember, vultures don’t eat living breathing things, they eat dead rotten things, so yes, for that reason alone, I would be glad to join the vultures on that one.

When i saw the title i thought: "Hey, another Clash of the Titans movie or a kind of sequel". When i took a look at the cast, which was pretty flushed in comparison to the Clash of the Titans cast, i noticed it was, once again, another Egypt "God Movie". The movie started pretty fast with the introduction of the story and main characters but after about 10 minutes i still was like the plot has to be introduced. The characters were too briefly introduced which led to a lot of "Oh that one in the beginning". and the plot was in my opinion severely lacking in depth. I did not expect the characters to contain the emotional depth as a Spielberg movie, although when certain events happened in the movie, i found them very poorly integrated into the development of the character and certainly a lack of emotional state of mind. I had a feeling the whole movie was one of another "I want my revenge" movie with a lot of to narrowly made up characters and a story which was rather thin and boring.

Watch if:
-You like Egyptian style movies with a lot of Egyptian mythology
-You want to see Gerald butler a rather different role
-Jamie Lanister

Don't watch if:
-You seek for a well crafted story line with in-depth character development
-You are an archaeologist and you want the movie to contain a correct depiction of the Egyptian mythology… Expand

Overview: the film has some impressive landscapes, but that's all. As for the rest, it's a terrible and boring succession of scenes , chases and fights embarrassing and not exciting. Not much .... but you know where you're starting to feel sorry that the film had potential due mythological theme which does have a variety of mythical places: cosmic inferno, desert, oases, etc.
Most actors who play the roles of gods are white and black (none of them Egyptian there who appear have a physiognomy of the Near East). Gods men dressed in suits and gold armor that kitsch ala the Immortals. And guess what, the gods have faces of animals but can spill: Horus into a humanoid bird to say that's a manga cartoon unicorns, and Seth in a Terminator-looking dog.

That Pharaoh Osiris is not that we know of hieroglyphics, green and always mummified, but simply Actor and old to be there to be killed by jealous brother, Seth. And Isis ... is a daddy to be there.
Somehow, just trying to look like Anubis and Thoth book, omniscient god who has a narcissistic clone army that helps.

Ra's about the only one who shone literally (a bald old uncle that only grows in height and lights). I loved representation of the mythical naive: Boat solar million years is like a spacecraft from Stargate with sun in a chain in a river cosmic endlessly above the Earth is flat (the other part being the afterlife) .... and as Ra, night after night, like a surly old farts periodically strike the guy with the newspaper in flies that bother him of sleep, battled with the snake (better said worm) celestial dust that represents chaos and darkness. Night after night, that makes him, to bring the sun in the sky.
That was about the only good moment of the film that rest was wailing.
Judgement of the dead is made in the following way: every soul of a deceased man had to bring wealth. As the richer you were, the more was better and received an eternal afterlife.
Story: it's far below Mummy!
Horus begins with a drunk with fame and arrogant, sexy goddess Hathor engaged, that is ready to be crowned as the new Pharaoh ... or rather, co-pharaoh as Osiris still held good. Just as occurs coup waged by Seth-Gerard Butler equipped armor spartan (as it should be in 300) who brings his army of strange, he cut Osiris and we blindly Horus, taking his eyes as pearls and exiles it.

And here starts the whole story focusing on mortal abilities with jefuitior higher James Bond or Catwoman, and best climber and athlete something like Prince of Persia or as Mario when surpasses obstacles, passing traps, decipher riddles. Not to mention as in the whole movie is funny and smiling like a sheaf of wheat. In order to return to his babe to life, resorting to collaborate with Horus and his eyes looking for and help it to regain strength.
Thus begins one of the most boring succession of scenes lately sequences copied from other films like Mummy and the Clash of the Titans: instead of giant scorpions, giant snakes
Seth , with Eye of Horus, the heart of Osiris and brain Thoth, builds armor terminator high a huge obelisk to impress his father, Ra, steals then sword / wand to lure Apphopis to destroy the world, to unleash chaos, and he will bring a new order.
Bek and Horus and has to climb up to heaven to take water from cosmic evil to put a few drops into the pit towards the center of the earth that can destroy and neutralize his powers Seth desert.
Obviously they fail and place all sorts of clichés no longer understand anything in the movie.
Then you ask yourself what kind of monkey could write such a scenario then to afford to make you "idiot".

And so we finally Fighting bling bling with a happy-end with the resurrection and the god Horus reaching a populist would make even kindergarten children to and spank leading embarrassing how much is in the film.
Finally, I stop that already makes me sick when I remember.

Actors: Gerard Butler besides trying to make him somewhat on rough, but not out, and the appearance of Geoffrey Rush, all are pathetic.
NOTE: 3

Avoid it as much as possible because it's more dust than Clash of the Titans.

Honestly, Mummy the better than to see this mythological atrocity.… Expand

Despite some hilariously out of place one-liners, the story is just too infuriatingly bonkers & the dodgy CGI looks several millennia out of date. The worst part of it all is the ending - which hints eagerly at a sequel.

Alex Proyas' Gods of Egypt is a truly incredible creation that can only be properly described as: what? Telling the story of the gods of Egypt and a struggle for the role of King of all Egypt, this film is truly a sight to behold. Really, theAlex Proyas' Gods of Egypt is a truly incredible creation that can only be properly described as: what? Telling the story of the gods of Egypt and a struggle for the role of King of all Egypt, this film is truly a sight to behold. Really, the amount that goes on in these two hours is hard to put to words. That said, I am going to try. In the film, Set (Gerard Butler) is the god of Darkness, while his brother, Osiris (Bryan Brown), is King. As Osiris is set to pass the role of King to his son, Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), Set is unhappy. Thus, he kills Osiris, blinds Horus, and takes the crown. Set then proceeds to kill all gods against him and enslave the population of Egypt, while also attacking his father, Ra (Geoffrey Rush). By attacking Ra, he allows a demon that Ra fights nightly to attack the world with the intention of having this demon consume the afterlife. This would then give Set immortality and the power that would come with this. Meanwhile, Horus is distraught and blind, hiding in seclusion. That is until he meets Bek (Brenton Thwaites). A thief, Bek was enslaved by Set, along with his love Zaya (Courtney Eaton). When he tries to help Zaya escape, she is killed by Set's builder. In an attempt to rescue her from the afterlife, Bek strikes a deal with Horus to help him steal back his eyes (Bek had already stolen one back) in return for granting life back to Zaya. However, unbeknownst to Bek, Horus does not have the power to give life. Only Ra has that ability. Even worse, Set has made it so that to enter the afterlife, one must have riches. Zaya has none, meaning that she will be destroyed. Fortunately, Horus' love and the goddess of love, Hathor (Elodie Yung), is in a position to help. After recognizing the love Bek has for Zaya, she sacrifices herself by taking off a bracelet. This bracelet, given to her by Horus, had protected her from the demons that wished to consume her soul. By giving it to Bek to give to Zaya, Hathor feels as though she fulfilled her purpose as a god. Funnily enough, Zaya never needed it because that demon Set unleashed on the afterlife began consuming the afterlife right when it was her turn to relinquish her riches. Now, however, Bek and Horus must fight back against the world. Here, Horus learns that his journey was to fight for humanity and serve the world, rather than himself and other gods. In defeating Set, he teams up with Bek to save Egypt and restore order to the world. They also steal back Ra's sword - which Set had taken - to give Ra back his power. Once his sword is back in his hand, Ra is able to kill the demon. Moved by Horus' actions, Ra offers his services to his grandson. To repay Bek - who was killed by Set at this point - Horus asks Ra to give Bek and Zaya back their life so that they may be together once more. Ra grants this and Horus is made the King of Egypt while Bek and Zaya get to live happily ever after. Phew.

As you can tell, this plot is convoluted. It makes literally no sense. Yet, what bothers me most is that this is done joylessly. For a film this stupid with this many moving parts, Gods of Egypt is a long two hour film. It takes forever to get through and is the definition of a slog. It takes itself far too seriously for a film as stupid as it is. This film features two gods fighting as birds or something and yet, it still has a sense of self-importance that is hard to ignore. Had it enjoyed itself and poked fun at the lunacy on screen, Gods of Egypt could have been the best b-movie in years. Yet, instead, it is merely a serious film with seriously horrific acting and even worse special effects.

Having previously made good films, Alex Proyas is far too talented to produce this mess of a film and think that it is an acceptable work. It is a film with the quality of a mockbuster by The Asylum. The fact that Lionsgate thought this was a good idea with franchise potential does not shock me though, considering that Lionsgate is one of the the stupidest, ill-conceived distributors releasing films in the 21st century.… Expand
