Whew…this is just not the day for quality films.
What Works: Egyptian mythology is a great jumping off point for a movie. We know too little about it and that should give it the thrill of the new if done right. Sadly, this is not an example of it being “done right.” I will say that every now and then a brief flash of a good sequence comes along and we get to see something almost new like the ancient God Ra battling it out with a stormcloud-shaped demon.
What Doesn’t: The movie has been criticized on everything from casting (it has an all-European cast devoid of any actual Egyptians) to sloppy effects, and that’s not even getting into the “script” if I’m even legally able to use that term. What’s worse is the movie takes a potentially original setting and world and reduces it to just another generic CGI-overload that could be anything from a C-grade superhero movie to a Sword and Sandals-Roman style epic. In a way, I think the casting mirrors the entire movie: a film bleached of any specificity.
What I Would Have Done Differently: Egyptian mythology is still a great place to start for a new franchise, and we can only hope we’ll see a movie worthy of it one day.
I’ve have not seen the movie, But I’ve heard the it’s really good.
