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.)

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com While not an outright disaster, this is still as massively perplexing a misfire as any likely to see a release this year. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 15, 2016 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times ny picture featuring Geoffrey Rush channelling King Lear as the patriarch god Ra while flying about in a spaceship can't be all bad. Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2016 Full Review Roxana Hadadi Chesapeake Family Magazine The fantasy film Gods of Egypt does practically everything wrong, from its whitewashed cast to its irredeemably goofy storyline. What a waste. Rated: 1/5 Aug 2, 2016 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It meanders through waves of lame character interactions, mind-numbing fight sequences, uninspired creatures, and boring plot contrivances. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Apr 22, 2022 Full Review Therese Lacson Nerdophiles Read the incredibly descriptive Wikipedia entry and call it a day. Oct 9, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Bryan L So I'm only about halfway through and am struggling to finish this movie. The cuts between scenes are incredibly abrupt to the point where it seems there was more to the scene and they cut it - music stops mid sheet to switch over to the new music for the new scene and everything. The character development also was bland, with nobody's motive really pulling you into the story. Then they also try this gods are large humans are small effect with minimal success. While the scenes involving just one type isn't usually to bad the moment they place them together their is a a very obvious CGI enhancement of the scene. Overall just too much in the film disrupted the actual story and take you out of the experience. I feel this can be shown by me writing a review for it before it's even over, something I never thought I'd do. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Susanda W Great family adventure with gold for blood. Really doesn't deserve the bad comments. It us was it is supposed to be, tongue in cheek action, magic and mayhem. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review olatope s I don't know why people hate this show but I loved it I was even shocked when I discovered that the rating on rotten tomatoes was bad I recommend this movie please go and watch it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Wiktor K I enjoined watching with my friend and that is the best you can hope for. That's why I watched it and that's why I didn't hate it Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Audience Member God this is bad. And no it isn't "accurate to Egyptian mythology" or "true to life". Weirdos in the reviews claiming this make me laugh. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Ellis S Awesome Movie Excellent interpretation of egyptian mythology and stories very well done with alot of emotion and the acting is high quality. I wish I could have seen this in theatre's it is absolutely an excellent film well made and really great graphics. Highly recommend great story.
