Review of Gods of Egypt

Gods of Egypt (2016)
8/10
Don't believe the critics!
27 February 2016
Saw GODS OF Egypt and have no idea what movie the critics saw. They are savagely mauling this movie but it is better than both of the recent Clash of the Titans movies combined. They have forgotten what it is like to have fun at the movies. There is utterly astonishing world building here. Rich elegant costumes and set designs that remind me of Liz Taylor's Cleopatra. Breathtaking stunts. The unknown cast contains Marvel's Black Panther Chadwick Boseman and Daredevil's Elektra Elodie Young. Both of these two rising stars give great performances and each of their roles seems to be a preview of what they will bring the MCU. The script is flawed but the style and lavish design overcomes the basic redemption movie storyline. It's lots of fun. (3.5 out of 5) So Says the Soothsayer
