...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!?!

I was shocked to see how many low ratings Gods of Egypt had received. It's really hard in this day and age to find a film where the acting doesn't make you cringe, there's chemistry between the characters, and a plot line scarce of painfully obvious plot-holes. I enjoyed every minute of the movie. Some of these professional critics need to be reminded that this is a hollywood film - not an educational documentary. Changes have been made to make it more engaging for the general public, and as a member of that ordinary demographic, I loved this movie and will be telling everyone I know to give it a watch. (Would've rated it 8/10 except I would like to see the ratings go up to what they deserve.) Give it a chance!!
