It’s utterly ridiculous – and impossible to resist. Read full review

It’s a spectacular mess that’s shameless in its desire to entertain through sheer, misbegotten excess. Read full review

The Film Stage Michael Snydel

Feb 26, 2016

While the film becomes a constant test to outdo itself, the raw ambition isn’t nearly enough to make up for the content of the actual film: an ungainly, ugly, nearly interminable monstrosity. Read full review

Justin Chang

Feb 25, 2016

This is by any measure a dreadful movie, a chintzy, CG-encrusted eyesore that oozes stupidity and self-indulgence from every pore. Yet damned if Proyas doesn’t put it all out there with a lunatic conviction you can’t help but admire. Read full review

Drew Hunt

Its virtues as throwback don't elide the foolhardly decision to imprint an ancient mythology on a contemporary superhero framework. Read full review

Call it "Clash of the Whitans," and call it a folly that doesn't have the energy or delirium to qualify as entertaining crap. It's just crap. Read full review

I'm not sure why this has so many low scores. Especially for "all of the gods being white". There was actually a black god, I guess they watched a different movie than I did.

There was actually a black god, I guess they watched a different movie than I did. The only thing I did not like about this movie is some of the romance scenes and some of the CGI wasn't very believable and for lack of a better phrase, "Gay looking". This movie is action packed, and the story is pretty solid. I'm going to have to give it a 6 or 7 out of 10, because it was clearly above 5, which is what I consider to be average. I'm going to give it a 10 on metacritic to balance all of these people who aren't able to see the black god of wisdom.… Expand

No the CGI wasn't perfect, and no the mythology wasn't followed strictly, but who said it was supposed to? This is another fun action movie with some touching bits thrown in every now and then. If you like action movies, I would say go see it. It isn't as action heavy as London has Fallen, but it is still fun nonetheless. I do feel like it got a bit too long in the tooth by the end of the running time, it felt like it could have ended maybe 15 or 25 minutes earlier.… Expand

The film mirrors a number of films, most amusingly Disney films such as Aladdin and The Lion King, and attempts to pursue a big budget film for the eyes, though anyone with reasonable sense would laugh at the misguided ideals brought up within the picture. The film did provide a spectacle, however, with a number of interesting characters and interesting moments throughout. The plot makes little sense and the whitewashing element so heavily discussed is greatly prominent within the film, and many parts of the film come off a cheesy or unattempted humor. The film was interesting overall, and for those looking for a fun movie for the family or friends to watch would probably enjoy it, though looking past the great effects and colorful characters, one would come to find out this is only just an OK Movie.… Expand
