“Gods Of Egypt” (*** out of four) was a solid ancient Egyptian fantasy about the mortal hero Bek (Brenton Thwaites) and how he teams with the god Horus in an alliance against the evil Set (Gerard Butley) the god of darkness who has usurped Egypt’s throne and sent Egypt into chaos and conflict. Not a great movie but jammed with visual effects and good action scenes that will give fans their money’s worth. Derived from “Gladiator” and “Clash Of The Titans” and numerous other medieval epics but is still entertaining. An unusual change-of-pace for director Alex Proyas who directed “The Crow” in 1994 but still has visual style to spare.
