Gods of Egypt

not half bad ...if you like cheesy cgi and video game type standards... you might enjoy this flick!! theres a lil story here and there :P

I absolutely loved this movie. but I am an Egyptian mythology fan so I enjoyed how they mixed gods and humans together.

It was really good, idk why people didn't like it. worth giving it a look.

When the credits rolled after having watched this movie with my kids I was perplexed. I knew this movie had not received very great ratings and I had heard rumors that some people had even labelled it the worst movie of the year. However, I had liked watching the movie…a lot!

Sure, the script is predictable and certainly wont win any prices for best script anywhere. The acting is adequate but no more. But it is a fun fantasy adventure movie, a simple adventure / action fantasy roller-coaster. Plenty of fairly cool special effects. Some humor, some romance. It is also fairly devoid of politically correct preaching, whining, mentally unstable and self destructive “heroes” and all that crap. In short it is the kind of movie I like.

I actually looked up the movies page on Wikipedia and it was pretty much full of nonsense and whining about how the movie was not “ethnically correct”. What the f…? It is a bloody fantasy adventure movie for Christ sake! It is meant to entertain! Who the hell cares about whether the actors are native Egyptians or something else? Well, I guess Eskimos would look a bit funny in those roles but otherwise…

Yes it does take quite a few liberties with Egyptian mythology but again, it is a fantasy movie guys! And Egyptian mythology, like any other mythology, gods etc, is nothing but fantasy and story telling from the start so just live with it. To me they stayed true enough to the core of the mythology and I would actually give the director and script writers bonus points for actually depicting the earth as flat as was the predominant belief in those times. Those scenes with Ra dragging the sun and the flat Earth was quite beautiful actually.

The rating on IMDb is also on the low side but of those that took the effort to write a review most seems to be quite positive. The mostly negative ones are, of course, the so called “critics”. No surprise there.

It is sad to see how a, in my opinion a quite entertaining, movie can be so sabotaged by a bunch of, again in my opinion, loud mouthed, ignorant, intolerant, fanatical SJWs who seems to believe that a movie cannot be allowed to just entertain but has to carry a political message, their political message.

I would recommend anyone into fantasy and adventure movies to check this one out if you should stumble upon it. I certainly do not regret adding it to my collection.

This is entertainment! Pure fantasy, minor base on some facts in Egyptian history and the rest is CGI and some fun action! Don't go in with any expectations and you will enjoy it, my kind of movie!

Potentially satisfying, good cast and nice effects. But conclusion could've been differently better. #ShiftvW8

Why can't people take things for face value? Absolutely awesome movie. Great special effects, predictable but satisfying story, and fun action scenes. Stop being so critical and enjoy the damn movie!

adventure film, full of excitement.......honestly i loved this film

Excellent fantasy-mythological movie, nice effects.
