GODS OF EGYPT


Horus lost his supernatural powers when  his uncle Set seizes the throne which, being the son of Osiris, is rightfully his. He only gained back his powers, his all-seeing eye and his crown when he realized that his true destiny is to protect his people. A tale that applies to real life where one can only unleash his true potential when he becomes the person he has to be.

I find this film entertaining. I love the impressive cinematography and special effects. It also boasts of its lavish costume designs and picturesque 3D creatures. I fave the sphinx and Anubis most of all.

The actor, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is truly fitting for his role as the god Horus as he is quite handsome and well-built.

The film's plot may not be spectacular but it's not bad and is easy to follow. The ending might be implying a sequel which may not be necessary  but is also not a bad idea. I would always want to see films that show the stories of people and the colorful heritage that shaped their culture. It's quite nice if they can introduce the other Egyptian gods, their stories and attributes in the sequels...if there will be.
