This extravagantly silly ersatz epic has a lunatic conviction you can't help but admire.

Not only is Alex Proyas’ new film borderline unwatchable, it’s irredeemably so.Honestly, the film grows stupider by the scene. Gods of Egypt plays out much like a video game: One that feels like watching a particularly ill-mannered teen play. The film, pun fully intended, is an ungodly mess.
