Critics Consensus

Look on Gods of Egypt, ye filmgoers, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of this colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away. (Apologies to Shelley.)

While not an outright disaster, this is still as massively perplexing a misfire as any likely to see a release this year. Go to Full Review

The fantasy film Gods of Egypt does practically everything wrong, from its whitewashed cast to its irredeemably goofy storyline. What a waste. Go to Full Review

It meanders through waves of lame character interactions, mind-numbing fight sequences, uninspired creatures, and boring plot contrivances. Go to Full Review

0.5/4
Summit Entertainment's absurdly staged sword and sandal epic features a laughably silly script, derivative plotting and, despite no established audience or recognized source material on which it's based, boasts a hefty price tag of 140 million. Go to Full Review

Sahana P. @Ppotato 12h Not a bad movie but very whitewashed. See more Matt R 4d Much better than reviews suggest. good cast and writing. CGI slightly dated. Leaned into some SG1 cues. still left me wanting more See more Robert G Nov 17 A pretty good action film, reminds of all the middle eastern films like prince of Persia or the old Sinbad movies. Decent story and just a fun romp. Don’t get caught up in accuracy or cgi wasn’t good enough, watch it for fun and you will enjoy it. It’s a fantasy movie not Shakespeare. See more Tony M Nov 17 We built this movie! We built this movie on CGI!!! See more JM H @JMH9999 Nov 14 The dumbing down of filmdom. Too bad it didn’t stop with this one. Ok, I’ll admit it. Stupid and vapid but something to watch when you want drivel. The Egyptian god with the Scottish brogue is especially ridiculous, but at least it’s funny. Didn’t know that the Egyptians had push-up bras. See more Matt J Nov 5 I enjoyed it. Better than the reviews would suggest. See more Read all reviews
