I am hoping for something more like The Mummy (1998)..but gods, monsters and madness sounds like a recipe for a fun time at least.

I want to get excited, since Egypt is my favorite pantheon of gods, but every time we have something on the material, it ends up sucking.

pass the popcorn.

The settings and those snakes look cool. I'll netflix this.

This doesn't look like a Alex Proyas movie, and I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Since he usually has a very dark color palate to his films. And I have yet to not enjoy the movies of his I have seen. Yeah, that includes I, Robot and Knowing. So if nothing else it's cool Egyptian themed action/adventure flick. And the last time we had one of those that was good was the first two Mummy movies.

Not something that I NEED to see at the theater, but if I'm given free tickets or something sure. But yeah, definitely a Netflix watch for sure.

I must watch this. I know, they white washed everything again, but it deals with Egyptian gods. It looks lie the Clash of the Titans version of Egypt. I need to see it.

i never think Alex Proyas movies look good... but then they usually have a lot going for them and i like them.. so i'm onboard probably at the home video phase

This is an Alex Proyas film, huh? I thought Dark City was really something special back in the day, and I've always wanted to see him to top it.

Sadly, that hasn't really been close to happening.

I'm a big Alex Proyas fan. The Crow and Dark City are two of my favorite movies, and I feel I, Robot and Knowing are quite underrated. I'm beginning to feel the same about Gods of Egypt with some of the terrible reviews I've seen. It's not a perfect movie, but it's nowhere as bad as some are making it out to be. It's a very weird movie with some bizarre imagery (not all of it successful, see below), but it's a very earnest story with charming, quirky characters (a hallmark of Proyas' work) that I think will appeal to people like us that love Ray Harryhausen. While a bit conventional, the story is wrapped up in a satisfying way as opposed to setting up a sequel of any kind.

If the movie has a downfall it's the overblown visuals. Nothing in this movie looks simple. I wish they had employed more practical work in places, especially in the man-sized creatures and set pieces.
