Gods of Egypt (2016)

Overrated

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Europeans of Egypt is yet another demonstration of the white supremacy "liberal" Hollywood propagates at every juncture. They even included their typical token black character to ease their hypocritical consciences. Now that I know (according to Hollywood) Europeans ruled Egypt as Kings, Queens, and Gods my education is complete.It is extremely unfortunate that due to their inherit racism, Hollywood glorifies all things historically white such as Greece, Rome, and England. I can't even count the amount of movies based on these three civilizations. The extremely rare occasion Hollywood puts money into a period-based, non-white civilization, they cannot resist themselves and must use even those civilizations to glorify White Supremacy by inserting Europeans into the roles of leadership, royalty, and now Gods.I am sorry if this reality stings a few toes, which is not my intent. I am just sick to my teeth of Hollywood liberals claiming to be about inclusiveness, yet when it comes to the rubber meeting the road, their White Supremacy films are anything but. The overall imaginary premise gave this film potential. Unfortunately the dull writing, clumsy plot, and cartoony CGI fails to meet any mark. Europeans of Egypt imaginary effects is barely one step ahead of the 1930's Flash Gordon.If you just want to see a movie with special effects and lousy CGI, you will love this movie. Some will also enjoy the white supremacy aspect of Europeans ruling ancient Egypt as Gods. Hollywood is the most racist institution in America. They have just become slightly more subtle with it compared to the days of their greatest creation, the late actor Stepin Fetchit (look him up if you don't believe me).

...after all the title was, 'Gods of Egypt'. I wasn't as focused on whether or not the actors were white or not.I thought this film was good- although it missed the mark somewhere. I would not call it great.I am certainly no professor of English, so excuse my ignorance in attempting this review. I miss alot trying to interpret films or books.But I did notice that of the hundreds of reviews below, only one tried to mention what this film was about (The myth of Tep Zepi fused with Osiris/Isis myth). I found zero reviews mentioning metaphor. Maybe its a mistake to even try as nobody else seems to be.Anyway, to me it seemed like one of the key messages was that Horus, God of Air, is noted for keen vision. And if Horus is blind, watch out- because chaos and entropy and all sorts of demons lurk just beyond the realm of the known.I feel you could go deeper in analyzing, but not with my limited skill. So for me, it is a reasonable action film (that sometimes feels too video gamey), with some deep underlying messages, that we would do well to remember even today.An action flick, with a moral? How can you rate that as 5/10!?!

Is was entertaining, whach it it with the right mindset and have fun, that's it!!! nothing else!!!

It's good fun for what it is really. Not bad at all. Good special effects and a decent story line. Those looking for game of thrones can head off somewhere else - this is not it.
