Review of Gods of Egypt

I agree that Hollywood needs to listen to the crowds when they only want people to be portrayed by actual people from the country involved. On the other hand it kind of makes sense that they don't do it when it comes to making money and getting an audience. It's not like this movie is only white people though. The cast has a wider variety than say Exodus with Christian Bale. Anyways let's move on. Wait this is directed by the same guy who did The Crow? That for me is definitely a plus. The writer duo (Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless) are responsible for creating The Last Witch Hunter as well as Dracula Untold. So the gods here are like giants. It looks kind of cheesy when they do it like that. Well this is definitely a colorful and extravagant looking film. That dress is very pleasant on the eyes. Oh man I had no idea that was coming. I actually didn't know much about what was going on before watching this. It's interesting to see Nikolaj Coster-Waldau playing the good guy while Gerard Butler plays the villain. That was brutal! It kind of reminds of Prince of Egypt with the time jump. Man he has to be one lucky son of a gun to survive all of that. So them changing into creatures looks great, but when they are riding a carriage it looks like movies from back in the day where they weren't really driving. Damn that was unexpected. Ah okay so that's how it all comes together then. So I know this is fiction and all, but there really is no way he could have survived that. That's a pretty simplistic looking place of creation. Wow are they really doing the whole Earth is flat scenario? Lol that line made me think of Star Wars. It looks like the CGI is back to being good again. Let's see how long that lasts. I guess having gold blood makes it a little less graphic. You know I can't get past how much Horus is basically Jaime Lannister as a God. Oh wow lol. Ah typical villain move there. Giant fire-breathing snakes nice! The silly thing is that they are kind of racial. Okay that was a pretty badass death scene. Bek is having way too many close calls where he should have definitely been dead. That is a lot of Chadwick Bosemans. He is very right about Bek's reliance on chance. Maybe you should think more considering who you are. Aw man not cool! That was kind of bittersweet. Well I don't see how it's possible to do anything but lose now. He is definitely on a power trip and quite psychotic. That was kind of amusing. The ending was rather predictable. It's not really all that bad if you get past that pretty much no one is Egyptian. The acting is pretty good. I liked the characters. The storyline was okay nothing particularly amazing. I probably wouldn't watch this again though.
