Yeah, ok, this isn't going to win over critics. Especially the ones who can't get over the idea of white people playing roles (but are enthused when it's the other way around).
The story is mad. The FX are wildly over the top.
If you weren't being asked to take it seriously, you would have no problem with loving it as a parody.
But you are asked to take it seriously and that seems to bother lots of people.
I don't watch it seriously.
Maybe that would offend the filmmaker, but it also means that I enjoyed it. So if you're the sort that can just enjoy something for what it is... and not over-analyse it... then Gods of Egypt might be worth a watch.
