Let's be realistic.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Europeans of Egypt is yet another demonstration of the white supremacy "liberal" Hollywood propagates at every juncture. They even included their typical token black character to ease their hypocritical consciences. Now that I know (according to Hollywood) Europeans ruled Egypt as Kings, Queens, and Gods my education is complete.It is extremely unfortunate that due to their inherit racism, Hollywood glorifies all things historically white such as Greece, Rome, and England. I can't even count the amount of movies based on these three civilizations. The extremely rare occasion Hollywood puts money into a period-based, non-white civilization, they cannot resist themselves and must use even those civilizations to glorify White Supremacy by inserting Europeans into the roles of leadership, royalty, and now Gods.I am sorry if this reality stings a few toes, which is not my intent. I am just sick to my teeth of Hollywood liberals claiming to be about inclusiveness, yet when it comes to the rubber meeting the road, their White Supremacy films are anything but. The overall imaginary premise gave this film potential. Unfortunately the dull writing, clumsy plot, and cartoony CGI fails to meet any mark. Europeans of Egypt imaginary effects is barely one step ahead of the 1930's Flash Gordon.If you just want to see a movie with special effects and lousy CGI, you will love this movie. Some will also enjoy the white supremacy aspect of Europeans ruling ancient Egypt as Gods. Hollywood is the most racist institution in America. They have just become slightly more subtle with it compared to the days of their greatest creation, the late actor Stepin Fetchit (look him up if you don't believe me).

Nice popcorn cinema, not outstanding but far better as the ratings indicate. My 10 is a counter reaction to all the undeserved 1 rates, my real rate is something like a 7 or 7.5. The fuss about the actors is just the typical p.c. nonsense - Egyptians were and are like most people around the Mediterranean Sea of darker tone skin but in no way of black African origin or something like that. Anyway, what you get are great visuals, fun having actors and if you like such simple but entertaining pleasures like Prince of Persia or lets say Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, this movie is meant for you. Mindless but fun to watch.

Head God Osiris is about to crown his son Horus king when his stroppy brother Set turns up, kills him, nicks Horus' eyes, and usurps the throne. This regime change leads ultimately to Zaya, the cute and bosomy girlfriend of petty thief Bek, being killed, and Bek trying to motivate the somewhat depressed blind Horus to prevent her from facing oblivion when she is judged in the underworld. The first step is to try to recover Horus' eyes, following which a trip to sun-God grandfather Ra is on the cards.The word "hokum" (loosely defined as "theatrical nonsense") isn't used very much these days, but hokum is exactly what this film is.. Loaded up from start to finish with state of the art CGI, over the top performances (which include some extremely bad acting - no, let's call it "mannered performances" - from Chadwick Boseman and Elodie Yung), straight-faced earnestness from Bryan Brown and Geoffrey Rush, and a story which dips into Egyptian mythology but never lets it interfere with its daft story, it doesn't take itself seriously for a minute, and the commendably straight-faced players convey an underlying awareness of their participation in, well, hokum. And I do like films which are tripe, know they are tripe, and aren't ashamed of it (see also: Drive Angry).I loved the look of this film. The Egyptian mythology feeds into the production design, the fact that these double-sized Gods co-exist with mortals is achieved well (better than in Peter Jackson's Rings/Hobbit films). The action was well-staged, I loved the overall daftness, and I found Courtney Eaton's bulgy cleavage utterly delightful. Most of the other female cast were alluring, also.Grab your popcorn and enjoy some glorious nonsense.

1. The film starts with poacher propaganda 2. Egyptians were not white-skinned europeans, not even their gods. 3. Egypt mithology and history deserves much more than this crap.
