You know those The Asylum ripoff movies that come out around the time a big budget film hits theaters? This is the Asylum version of a better 'Egyptian gods' movie but with a 150 million dollar budget. A Scot, Australian and Dane all play Egyptian gods and with every minute I merged further into the couch out of sheer embarrassment for what was happening on my screen. It's that rare kind of misguided big budget kitsch-heap that fails upward so spectacularly you have to see it to believe it.

I have stood at the paws of the Sphinx and inquired its Mysteries. I humbled myself inside the Great Pyramid, and gazed out at the threshold of the King's Chamber. I discovered for myself the ceiling of Nut at the Temple of Edfu, explored the Temple of Man after dark set in, and observed the solemn gravity of the sarcophagus of Ramesses IX in the Valley of the Kings. I also just witnessed Gerard Butler impersonate a CGI horse for $150 million.

I can't help but love it. Gods of Egypt is a nightmare, where you can literally see the budget dwindling away. The acting is atrocious, the direction and script are no better. Yet, it fills me with a childish glee as it's so unintentionally funny and wonderful. I'll give the movie a few actual points for a great score, but otherwise this is a must-see because of how horrid it really is. If you leave the theater satisfied or comfortable then I assure you, it was not the movie's quality.

How do you rate something like this? Clearly very terrible, let's get that out of the way. But it's also unique, full of crazy ideas and most of the time pretty impressive special effects - though occasionally falling through completely in that department, one sequence in particular being the most entertaining part of the film. It left me stunned, tired, and maybe a little bit sick. I think I'm glad I saw it but I would not recommend. I'm so intrigued this was made (and on a budget that big!?).

Gods of Egypt is a queer commingling of 1990s Power Ranger special effects and an alt-right wet dream where the gods (and important-to-the-plot humans) are white (except for the token black one, because we're not racist), all women are inoffensively light brown, and there's oodles of incoherent yelling. It is frightening to think this is what alien historians might someday find buried in the rubble of our fallen civilization.

What amounts to being the cinematic equivalent of taking a sedative, only more torturous, Gods of Egypt is lackluster in practically all respects. If it weren't for the moments of sheer absurdity, unavoidable fits of laughter, along with Geoffrey Rush and Chadwick Boseman's awareness that the film they are in is absolute hot garbage (ham it up to 11 fellas), the audience would be lulled into a painfully forced nap after already suffering with the guilt of spending their dollars on this atrocity.

I thought Hollywood was a corporate kind of place where they do market analysis prior to every movie, get test groups to pick the brains of, see if people like the concept before they even start shooting. Sometimes, movies squeak out that make me second guess that executives have any idea what they're doing. This is one of those movies. The whitewashing thing is baffling, they're nine foot tall people riding snakes, bleeding gold. And you complain that it's unrealistic that they're white?

Lionsgate and Alex Proyas may have apologized for the whitewashing that came when the film was being cast, but they should have apologized for Gods of Egypt being terrible. This is an atrocity, but it's also unintentionally hilarious for most of its running time, and I wasn't bored for most of the time. I laughed at its juvenile and stupid dialogue, its awful CGI, and its ridiculously generic story. And I'd rather laugh through a terrible movie than be bored through one.

Gods of Egypt has some nifty CGI work, but is otherwise terrible in pretty much every sense of the word. The plotting is, at times, nonsensical. The characters are grating. To say that Bek is "one-dimensional" is an insult to straight lines everywhere. There's a disturbing amount of violence and sexual content for a movie that looks like it was designed for 7 year olds. And even when the story tries to make a moral point, it winds up undercutting itself. (pluggedin.com)

Super bad. This is going to kill Brendon Thwaites's career, and he fucking deserves it. Alex Proyas should go back to just being 'the guy who made Dark City, and a few other things we don't care about'. Oh and also it's super offensive, so there's that, too.

An intriguing "Ancient Aliens" take on mythological Egypt, combined with some really quite stunning visuals, but what it's missing is any kind of original story at all. Despite the gloriously imaginative cgi world, I couldn't help feeling like I'd seen it all before. No doubt the story was kept simple for international audiences, but it feels simplistic - Fantasy is, ultimately, just a B-movie genre, and this isn't going to be one that rises above that and becomes memorable.

Undeniably bad, with very little to praise. I guess you could say that some of the CGI is cool--or at least the designs are kinda neat--but a majority of the time it's pretty bad. Couple that with a terrible script and bad acting and you kinda wonder what they did with the huge budget. I'm not even offended by the whitewashing, but I can see why people would be. I'm more upset that Proyas made such a turd, because I think he's a very underrated director. This movie tries things but fails hard.

This ended up being a rather fun disposable action-adventure. Once again I'm not understanding all the hate, does the movie have issues, yes! but it's a silly movie that's a throwback to the Jason and the Argonauts/Sinbad movies of yesteryear. The CGI wasn't great but it worked well enough for the story and presentation.

Gods of Egypt seems to emulate the Star Wars prequels but with less mythology. The plot is incredulous; the casting, direction and acting atrocious. While the movie may look pretty, it doesn't sink so low that it becomes fun, it just remains generic, occasionally mediocre and mostly bad. Also it was annoying that a movie called Gods of Egypt failed to mention Isis more often (or at all), almost as if they were afraid for some silly reason.

Very strange. The main characters are all semi-giants, proportional to humans like the Na'vi in Avatar were, but you never get used to this strange effect. The CGI could use a lot of work, and the script is predictable and humorless. I didn't find this quite cheesy enough to work as a bad movie. Bummer, too, given the cast.

So much to like. Tons of creativity. Totally overloaded with flashy CGI & SFX. Extremely dark & laughably sentimental. The action is a constant chaotic mess. Performances were mostly good. Courtney Eaton was very cute. Elodie Yung was spectacular. Brenton Thwaites, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau & Gerard Butler are charismatic. So much good but only a few brilliant moments. The dialog is prating nonsense & the story is slick rubbish. An awesome, incredible, visual spectacle that fails to satisfying.

A thief (Brenton Thwaites, awful) must join forces with the fallen Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, not great) to defeat the usurper Set (Gerard Butler, hammy). The result is kind of a shitty Egyptian CLASH OF THE TITANS, poorly cast and acted (except for Chadwick Boseman's campy Thoth), messily staged, terribly written, and weighed down by an abundance of bad CGI, which looks all the worse when seen in 3D. The whitewashing makes it feel all the more pointless; the large budget is hardly apparent.

Tremendously entertaining throw-back to the opulence of 1960s sword-and-sandals epic; plays like a cross between CLEOPATRA and CLASH OF THE TITANS but outdoes both, thanks to Proya's stunning visual sense, and a cast delivering uniformly pitch-perfect performances in the slightly ridiculous tone that the movie requires. Above all else, more genuine fun and thrills than most blockbusters in recent memory.

So bad it's good is a nice description for this atrocity. It is admittedly entertaining and fun to laugh at for acting, dialogue, CGI, and well, pretty much everything actually. Had these things had more quality to them, this may actually have been decent. Quality wise, it's pretty much a zero, but so entertaining for it's crappiness that it must get bumped a tier.

For awhile I was actually getting into the pure zaniness of it, and I always enjoy Alex Proyas' visuals. But after awhile it just wasn't funny anymore. This movie did not need to be over two hours at ALL. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau gives the only halfway decent performance; the rest of the cast is either sleepwalking or annoying.

Gobsmackingly horrendous. Plotting is barely on a par with that of an episode of Young Hercules. Butler seems as if he took acting classes from Kevin Smith (Ares in Xena), and didn't quite catch everything. Exacerbating the movie's innumerable faults: the end, which chose to go for the old "we need the promise of an afterlife to lead morally good lives" shtick, one of the vilest contentions in all religion. 10 points for Coster-Waldau managing not to look utterly risible in this shit-heap.

An exceedingly silly action film which taken on its own terms makes for passable entertainment. My extremely low expectations were exceeded by a fair margin. A big, dumb theme park ride, sweeping through synthetic vistas and locations draped in gaudy opulence, featuring a parade of cardboard cut-out characters. Overloaded with CGI to such a degree that it just owns it and feels like a throwback. Ride the rails to the finish and don't look too much out the sides, you'll just feel queasy.

There was some cool and imaginative world-building and it would probably have worked really well as the next God of War game, but as a film it's pretty bad. The CGI is ugly, the script is lazy, generic and uninspired and the Gerard Butler's acting is cringey. and yes, obviously it's a white-washed cast. +5 points for Chadwick Boseman's hilarious performance as a campy gay Spock, if that character was given his own spin-off, I definitely would go see that in theatres.
