GODS OF EGYPT

Plot:

On the day that Horus (Coster-Waldau) the god of perfect sight is set to take over the kingdom of Egypt from his father Osiris (Brown), the festivities is interrupted by Horus' uncle Set (Butler) who has his own plans to take ruler ship of the prosperous land so he kills his brother Osiris and plucks the eyes of Horus, sparing his life only on the wishes of Horus's true love Hathor (Yung). Some period later with the kingdom under the dark ruler ship of Set, a young petty thief named Bek  along with the help of his love Zaya believe that if they steal the eyes belonging to their once beloved god Horus and return them to him that he would restore the right balance back to Egypt. But the quest will soon turn out to be an adventure to save the women that holds both Bek's and Horus's hearts.


Reel Talk:

This was one visually beautiful mess of a movie. The cinematographic backdrop of the film is awesome but the story is just awful. It is a lot going on that takes you in a lot of directions that lead to nowhere is the best way to sum it up. It has an all star cast but none of the stars shine enough to help this movie along. The action is cool but again not good enough to mask the lackluster love story that is the premise of the movie. Don't waste your money or your time, wait til it hits cable television for free.
