“Do you think I would put in any effort trying to amuse you?” That’s a question that Egyptian god Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, “Game of Thrones”) poses to mortal Bek (Brenton Thwaites, “The Giver”), and as far as “Gods of Egypt” goes, that answer would be a resounding “No.”
A mishmash of unconvincing visual effects and clumsy writing — not to mention another depiction of ancient Egypt in which the lead roles are almost all played by white folks — “Gods of Egypt” might have merited a so-bad-it’s-good schadenfreude fanbase had it maintained the unintentional laughs of its first 10ย minutes.
