Critics Consensus

Look on Gods of Egypt, ye filmgoers, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of this colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away. (Apologies to Shelley.)

While not an outright disaster, this is still as massively perplexing a misfire as any likely to see a release this year.

Rated: 1.5/4

The fantasy film Gods of Egypt does practically everything wrong, from its whitewashed cast to its irredeemably goofy storyline. What a waste.

Rated: 1/5

Keith & the Movies

It meanders through waves of lame character interactions, mind-numbing fight sequences, uninspired creatures, and boring plot contrivances.

Rated: 1.5/5

Deep Focus Review

Summit Entertainment's absurdly staged sword and sandal epic features a laughably silly script, derivative plotting and, despite no established audience or recognized source material on which it's based, boasts a hefty price tag of 140 million.

Rated: 0.5/4

Aaron C A film for the family, too much CGI, looks more like a TV series, think Xena Warrior and Hercules from the 90s.Great film for kids Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Shane O I’m not really sure what they were trying to do here. The CGI is off putting. And Brenton Thwaites was unlikeable. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Yikes S I recommend Gods of Egypt. It doesn't deserve it's low ratings as it is a fantasy film. Fantasy it is because it asks the viewer to suspend belief and pre-conceptions and it certainly does that. The casting is good, the special effects are believable, and the storyline is good. It is an enjoyable film that is what it is and is better than many films of this genre.It deserved to do much better at the box office. I enjoyed it a lot. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Paul H Crazy’s dream , nightmare with a soppy love story mixed in , acting not bad but the story was just rubbish. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Stellar C Don't listen to critics. The movies is a solid above averge. It's a family movie and better than what most of Marvel's phase four.Now it's not the greatest thing ever but not as bad as people say it is.It's absurd to say that this movies was whitewashing like Hollywood ain't trying to so hard to check the inclusivity list even if it came w the cost of lame ahh acting. So don't even get me started on that. Who cares what skin color they have as long as the acting is top notch. The fight scenes were cool. Who wouldn't wanna watch a cool sword that breathes hellfire. Acting was good. Elodie Yung nailed it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Martin L This movie is deceiving you with its effects, the movie is terrible, don't watch it, don't let you watch it, the plot is ridiculous. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
