Gods of Egypt

Gods of Egypt

Rating 6 out of 10

I generally like these type movies. Not sure why.  I like Gerard Butler (Leonidas!) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones! Not sure why he needs three names).  I wanted to see it when it first came out but the terrible reviews scared me away.  A boring rain day and having seen most everything else I decided to give it a shot.

In the movie as you can tell from the title there are Gods in Egypt that are living and working with mortals.  Osiris (Bryan Brown) has ruled Egypt for many years in a kind and peaceful way.  He is turning the kingdom over to his son Horus (Nikolaj).  Unfortunately Osiris evil brother (Set- Gerard)  comes to town and does bad things.  It's up to Horus and his young friend to save the day.

Plot really doesn't matter with this one.  The action is not bad.  The effects are mostly pretty good.  A surprising number of big named actors.  I was mildly entertained for an early show.  It would make a good rental if you like these type movies.
