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.)

Strangely watchable, such a mix of bad green screen and good CGI, all the characters are likable. A fun mindless bit of entertainment.

Awful just awful. The crime is that I can't unsee this disaster. The story violates all logical thought, and the acting does nothing to save it.

If you don't mind the liberties taken and acknowledge this not a textbook adaptation, this is a fantastic action flick with a typical hero arch story, lots of creatures, constant entertainment, decent CGI and overall lots of fun. Don't think hard on this one, just enjoy the ride like we used to do in the 90s.

Actually a very good movie. Panned by critics because it wasn't diverse enough. Who cares. Faithful to the Egyptian mythology.

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

ny picture featuring Geoffrey Rush channelling King Lear as the patriarch god Ra while flying about in a spaceship can't be all bad.

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

Keith & the Movies

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

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 0.5/4
