Review of Gods of Egypt (2016) by Midairman — 09 Dec 2016

I haven't seen other reviews of this movie and I'm obviously late to the party on writing a review, but having just watched it on HBO I have to say I enjoyed the movie.

The story was fun and made sense. It was well cast for the bigger roles. The weakest acting in the movie came from the actor who played Beck in the movie, but he didn't do a poor enough job to ruin it. I found the pacing to be good and no scene dragged on excessively.

I will acknowledge that the gods transforming into robots was a bit odd and the fact that Sett could upgrade himself with parts from other gods was different. Having said that its all based on mythology and since its all fiction I accepted what they did and the liberties they took.

My only problem with the movie is the final fight. It was short and didn't live up to the epic scale of the movie. Despite that I enjoyed the movie. It reminded me of movies from the 80s and 90s which for me is nostalgia.

Its not a bad movie as many say.
