Despite turning Set and the other gods into transformers, does anyone else think this film deserves credit for how U unabrashly literally it depicts Egyptian mythology?
There's none of that usual 'events that inspired the myths' hand wave, you'd get like we've ever they do king Arthur or Great mythology.
The gods are real and live a men, the underworld is real, Ra has to bring the sun up every morning. The Earth is quite literally flat. There is no attempt to try to rationalise to it an historical setting or real world logic in the slightest.
I liked it.
no one knows the actual myths so they bash it for being stupid

its poopy

I liked it but it's glaringly obvious how flawed it is and the mythology doesn't come in to play because it's a different reality.
It was surprisingly entertaining.

It was one thing having Gerard Butler play a Greek, but having him play an Egyptian!? They're on opposite sides of the world!
Too white

It's not a straight adaption from the book of the dead no, but it is one where the myths are completely explicitly unapologetically real.
Usually a story about say Troy would have that stuff cut out entirely fully or left ambiguous. This movie doesn't try that in the slightest. The sun is actually dragged across the sky on a daily basis by chariot.

Not white enough
personally had a wicked good time with it
I thought it was okay, my friends shit on it but the two lead characters did pretty good with what they had. The sub-plot with the two younger actors was pretty abysmal though

This sounds fucking cool desu.
It's weird. I can see myself rewatching this more often than BvS
It was genuinely fun

This is a nice change of pace, I agree.
Might actually see this.
