Pass time weekend flick. If not for the CGI effect, this film wont last more than a week on the big screens!




You may look forward to:

• This is my first with Gerard Butler in  a negative role. He is convincingly a bad demi god :D His built, his rage and his voice is best suited for roles like this
• Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in fact has an unexpected better role :) His built yet again suits caricatures of such kinds. Although he would be the one whom one can relate to a negative figure, he equally justifies the role of a good natured demi god :)
• Brenton Thwaites is the mortal hero of the film. He has the most meaty role in this movie, from the beginning to the end. 'Bek' is swift, trustworthy and a romantic hero :D
• Elodie Yung and Courtney Eaton are two leading women in the film. They enjoy good enough screen presence
• Chadwick Boseman and Geoffrey Rush, are the positive supporting roles.Chadwick Boseman adds some humor quotient here and there. While Rufus Sewell, Yaya Deng and Abbey Lee have decent role in the negative supports
• This flick certainly scores well in terms of terrific CGI and good 3D filming. Although the CGI is a lot more over the top, but this is the only selling point of the film

What you can sleep over:

Unlike most of the movies built around Egyptian myths and mythologies, this is completely a fantasy drama. You cant relate to any truth around it even remotely





The dampeners you should be aware of:

• I expected a lot more from a Gerard Butler film. Alas! ended in  a disappointment
• The story of this film is its major set back, movie feels way too stretched, and direction or dialogues do not create enough interest to hold the audience to the seats to enjoy it till the end

My Rating: 2.5/5

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
