Impressive effects are the highlight of an enjoyably awful blockbuster starring Gerard Butler.
This is an exercise in very grand kitsch, a CGI-driven sword and sandal epic in which the dialogue in tin-eared, the performances creak and even the special effects are cheesy in the extreme.
Summer 2016 has had a high number of shonky blockbusters, but Gods Of Egypt is the worst of them.
Alex Proyas’s pec-strewn ancient vision powers up with absurdity then falls to earth with flimsiness.
Unbelievable.
This muddled fantasy adventure would make Ray Harryhausen turn in his grave.
