Review of Gods of Egypt (2016) by Imthenoob — 09 Apr 2019

There are many things wrongs with this film so I'll pick a few to cover: I don't like how the actors playing Gods were CG'd larger than humans, It felt very out of place and seemed very much like a waste of time and money. I thought there was way too much reliance on CG in general and it's so poorly done that it everything, especially the awful fight scenes, stick out like a sore thumb. Like it's way too obvious that it's fake in comparison to let's say a Marvel film where it is still kind of grounded in reality.

I also felt the movie was very poorly edited. It just jumped from area to area with little to no explanation as to how the characters got there. It felt as if I had just skipped the 5 minutes prior to explaining how/why they got to where they are. IDK if it was just sloppy writing or not but it became even more obvious as the film went on.

Now the film isn't a total wash as Coster-Waldau and Butler are fine leads and in any other circumstances, It would have been great to see both pitted against each other. Sadly, Gods of Egypt tired too hard to be this big CG blockbuster when it should have tried to tone things down a bit.
