	Author	Review
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"Overstocked, overstuffed and overlong, 'Gods of Egypt' packs a squadron of immediately forgettable mythological deities into 127 inefficient minutes (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"A film which seems inspired by a video game even though it wasn't (...) It's all as ridiculous as it sounds, and yet somehow the film doesn't even manage to be campy enough to be an entertaining guilty pleasure"	NEG
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"A folly that doesn't have the energy or delirium to qualify as entertaining crap. It's just crap"	NEG
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"A dreadful movie, a chintzy, CG-encrusted eyesore that oozes stupidity and self-indulgence from its every pore (...) Yet damned if Proyas doesn’t put it all out there with a lunatic conviction you can’t help but admire"	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A demented entertainment (...) I enjoyed “Gods of Egypt” despite the lazily generic non-story, the dubious Eurocentric casting and (intentionally?) unconvincing effects"	NEU
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"Despite starting with a sense of grandeur (...) this fantasy-adventure film from the director of I, Robot and Knowing is unable back up its initial confidence with its content"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Come back, 'Clash of the Titans', all is forgiven"	NEG
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Ridiculous, offensive and tremendously fun. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Gods of Egypt is an epic — an epic disaster"	NEG
United States	Anna King Time Out	"It seems as though a decent chunk of the Gods of Egypt budget went toward Butler's skin bronzer -- money that would have been better spent on the cheap-looking special effects, which appear to be culled from 'Ghostbusters II' (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Until now, I’d always been a Proyas believer (and sometimes apologist) (...) But you would never know that Gods of Egypt was made by the same filmmaker"	NEG
