The Worst ‘Gods of Egypt’ Reviews: Critics Are Raving!

Have you ever seen those movie ads on TV filled with gushing quotes from critics and thought to yourself, “I saw that movie; it was terrible. Where did they find these positive reviews?” If you have, you’re not alone — and you’re going to love ScreenCrush’s newest series, Critics Are Raving!, which balances the cinematic scales with trailers full of slightly more accurate (and slightly more negative) lines from reviews. Real critics. Real quotes. Really bad movies. That’s what’s Critics Are Raving! is all about.

On our twelfth episode: Journey to a world you have never seen before. Welcome to the land of ancient Egypt, where there are no actual Egyptians plus a lot of random Australians, and all the gods turn into random robots. Yes, this is the world of Gods of Egypt, one of last’s year’s most notorious blockbusters. The film earned less than $35 million in the U.S. and received brutal reviews all over the world — so it was only a matter of time before the critics started raving right here on ScreenCrush.

This is our twelfth Critics Are Raving! trailer, but there are more on the way — if you’ve got a movie you’d like to see featured, let us know in the comments section below or send us a tweet or Facebook message. In the meantime, check out some past Critics Are Raving! trailers. You will be raving about them when you’re finished.
