movie review - Gods of Egypt

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.02.22

This movie has a promising cast and certainly appears visually stunning, but is let down by an unengaging story in which characters behave without clear motive and no one is really very sympathetic. In that respect it's like a Woody Allen movie, but with muscles and sunshine instead of pallid neuroticism. It feels like a real missed opportunity,

Not recommended.
