That line "Impossible? Yes...." sounds like that joke in the Office where Michael Scott says "Well, well. how the turn tables....." and just stands there awkwardly.
+ras144 and dont get started on alladin, who lives in the city where everyone is trying to murder each other, because, you know thats just how middle eastern people are...
They could have completely dropped the "Gods being taller than humans" thing because the Egyptian gods were never portrayed as being larger, so it seems like they could've saved a lot of money just not doing that at all. An actually good use of special effects that they left out would've been making the gods part animal like they were usually portrayed - making them turn into transformers doesn't count!
I'm not even disappointed in the whitewashing, I'm disappointed in the lack of Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Executive Producer, and Giant Mega Ultra Chicken
When Sarah said "Watch the Wall," I thought she meant to literally turn and just face the wall while high, as that'd be better than watching this movie.
I still find it hard to believe this movie cost 140 million dollars. A chunk of that went into the CGI, but I'm convinced that the rest either went into some secret drug-fueled, 4-day weekend orgy or someone behind the scenes pulled some major financial shenanigans that would make Golan & Globus blush.
What's funny is that I saw the trailer for this 3 times in a week. The first time, I thought "This looks alright, an Avengers-esque action romp in 'Ancient Egypt,' I could get behind this." The second time, I thought "The dialogue sounds really plain and I have no idea what is going on. I'm not so sure about this" The third time, I thought "The effects here look like garbage. This film is going to blow." The process of decay was staggering to me.
I _have_ to see this movie. It looks uamazing for all the wrong reasons. I remember seeing the trailer and thinking "really?! THIS was greenlit?! This was given a 140 million dollars budget?! People actually thought it was a good idea?!"
Actually, fun fact, most of their budget actually came from tax cuts from Australia. The real budget was actually much much smaller, somewhere around 30 million.
I'm OK with CGI as a main effect. It can be just another artistic choice vs practcal effects. But you still need something to support the choice. I could tell Gods of Egypt was going to suck but I'm looking forward to The Jungle Book.
+kladams707 I saw a trailer for The Jungle Book when I went to see Zootopia, and I don't think they made it look good. It's like they tried to market it as an action movie. The CGI did look rather nice, but at the moment I'm a bit worried about how the pacing / storytelling is going to be. Also, I'm dreading the inevitable "WTF Disney, why you ruin my childhood movie?" comments from viewers.
Its kind of funny that Sarah mentions The Librarian movies (the first one is a lot of fun) because if I read his IMDB right, I think Ryan was an assistant on the third one around the same time he was helping out with the TV show Leverage. Really cool. You should ask him about that, Brad.
+Leppard Man They started making it as an unrelated Wolverine game and then were told to tie it into the movie. That's why he does cool stuff that never happens in the dumbass flick (fights a Sentinel in freefall, cuts the head off of a lava rock monster, etc)
I'm always amazed at how obscure some of your references are. I mean Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout, wow. It makes me wonder how many others I've missed in your videos.
It sounds so bad it could be great - so I guess I could well check it out. And if I got it right, it's directed by the guy who made Dark City ? WTF ?! This is such a solid and very underrated movie, the situation is mind-boggling here. Concerning Cleopatra (since you brought it up), it actually made its budget back but ages after it came out. But then again, its budget was astronomical - you could make at least one movie with the money that went into Liz Taylor's costumes alone.
I had a feeling this movie was going to be awful. I saw the trailer and I wasn't impressed(the CGI looked awful, and unrefined) and the acting subpar. This is a shame because I love Alex Proyas. His work on the Crow is amazing, and I do like Dark City and IRobot. But even with me without seeing it, it looked awful. What's sad is apparently this was a major passion project of Proyas. And knowing him, he definitely saw the trees and not the entire forest, despite the cool concept. As Proyas knows how to execute large scale concepts and make the characters feel more intimate. What's worse is that he went online and bashed critics. While not the same as Josh Trank, that's a big no no. Yes, it sucks to see your movie being torn apart. But you complaining isn't going to make things better or change people's minds. In fact, it will make the situation worse. Overall, I don't think Proyas' career will be destroyed(much like Trank's or David Fincher's. Heck the latter made a recovery), but Proyas did take a hit. And to get personal, my respect for him has gone down just a bit. Overall, great video as always.
The very first poster I saw for this movie had what I could only assume was a robotic sphinx roaring fighting a robotic Anubis. I truly thought it was for a fifth Michael Bay Transformer film. And I said out loud to my friend, "I thought that his reboot already did an Egypt-themed thing." And she goes, "No, this is something completely different." That kind of made me sad, because I was looking forward to laughing at more Bay-fueled ridiculousness. I mean, the sphinx even had the glowing blue eyes and Anubis had the red eyes! I really thought it was some sort of side story for that whole Fallen thingy!
The movie was a fun time. It had a child like enthusiasm to it that added a charisma to it. It made the stuff that would normally be considered bad fun. It was not perfect but no movie is perfect.
this is what Big Hollywood gets and deserves. they're spending HUGE sums of cash and for these God-awful films. all they care about is getting their money back in the opening weekend and if that doesn't happen oh well. I recently heard that a film that made almost $700 mil. at the BO was considered disappointing. WTF?!
I feel this is going to be one of those movies that gets played in the background of a party. You know, as a kind of noise filler. For the host that doesn't want to get one of those lightshow things you get from the back of a Spencers. I remember back in the day I went to a party and for some reason the host was playing Deathstalker in the background. Nobody was actively watching it, it was just playing. I've never seen that movie before this party. I get to the party just as the mud-wrestling scene starts. I was maybe ten or eleven. It was baffling, and years later it was still baffling after finally getting around to watching the whole thing.
For some reason, the memory card full moment while Sarah's explaining the end of the movie made me think of the end of Clue, I half expected it to come back and she explains a different way the movie ended...
I love her as a reviewer and both together! I do think the movie could have been salvaged through editing, if they didn't have a narcoleptic art director.
So I was reading that with all the tax credits and pre-sales of this movie Lionsgate is only on the hook for like $10 million (which it has already made back BTW). The Australian government gave them a tax credit equivalent to 46% of the movies budget. So no ones losing their job.
Na, it's not you Brad. The X Men Origins Wolverine game ain't bad, most people agree that's actually a pretty good game if only because it's one of the few M rated/R rated stuff of Wolverine outside of the comics cause you fuck people up in that game
You know what I remember about Full House? When the house started on fire and everyone died. Anyone else remember that? I think it was season 1 episode 1.
What AMC did you go to? I remember one close to me that had a Red Lobster in the same plaza but I don't know if that's a common thing with those theaters.
Fucking too right, went to go see it for the first time today and these two little shits in the back row behind me kept spoiling every joke/action in the film for their equally younger friend. Not even a light whisper, just them talking out loud. They were in line behind us with their mom, but since she wasn't in the crowd I'm guessing she just paid for their tickets and left to shop since the theater was on the boardwalk.
The director threw a huge hissy fit of the all the bad reviews. He said things like "NOTHING CONFIRMS RAMPANT STUPIDITY FASTER than reading reviews of my own movies. I usually try to avoid the experience--but this one takes the cake. Often, to my great amusement, a critic will mention my past films in glowing terms, when at the time those same films were savaged, as if to highlight the critic's flawed belief of my descent into mediocrity. You see, my dear fellow FBookers, I have rarely gotten great reviews… on any of my movies, apart from those by reviewers who think for themselves and make up their own opinions." and "Lock a critic in a room with a movie no one has even seen and they will not know what to make of it, because contrary to what a critic should probably be, they have no personal taste or opinion, because they are basing their views on the status quo. None of them are brave enough to say, 'Well I like it' if it goes against consensus. Therefore they are less than worthless." Check out his facebook page. It's hilarious.
10 seconds in and your reaction to this piece of sh- i mean art is amazing. Brad and Sarah, hope the channel and Midnight Screenings continues for the greater good :D P.S: Who honestly thought this film would suck as soon as you saw the trailer or hell even the poster? I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but....no, no i'll totally judge the shit out of both the poster and the trailer. Rather save my pennies for Zootopia (which ironically is actually suiting well with critics.) or even London Has Fallen. Or maybe neither? idk.
I don't understand why Hollywood absolutely refuses to use the proper ethnicities for the regions where a movie takes place. What's the big fucking deal?!
They shot the movie in Australia, and they were given a bunch of tax credits to use Australian actors, which means that the studio won't feel the full effect of that ginormous budget.
+Grizzly Man To me it's more annoying that everyone in the ancient world has a British accent in so many movies like these, like with Prince of Persia it took me completely outta the movie, and Gemma Aterton's flat robotic line delivery as the "Princess" or whatever.
+Banter Board Nobody said anything when these guys played ancient Greeks in "300" or will smith played an Egyptian god in "Hancock", and having dark skin does not make you Egyptian either, you would still be an actor playing a role. To be authentic as possible, you would have to get actors from Egypt and have subtitles in the movie if they didn't already speak good english, and you would have to crack the pyramids open to see if the Gods are willing to be part of the fantasy movie.
Sarah's reaction to finding out this had a 140$ million budget should be a meme.
You mean this face, right? 2:03
That line "Impossible? Yes...." sounds like that joke in the Office where Michael Scott says "Well, well. how the turn tables....." and just stands there awkwardly.
The Wolverine Origins game is actually considered by most critics to actually be pretty damn okay Brad, so you're not crazy
Yeah I played that game a bit. I lost it, but I remember it being fairly good
The story was good, but the gameplay was repetitive.
Did Gerard Butler shout: THIS IS EGYPT (and kick somebody in the Nile)?
No he said "You are not fit to be king" while digging out someone's eyes
The Nile Kicking scene is in the deleted scenes on the DVD...lol.
2:00 The look on Sarah's face when she learns this film cost $140 million to make.
+BrotherAlpha 2:03
@@brainflash1 ... where did it goooo? :/
;D ;D
Best part of the review.
Gods of Egypt: It's Aladdin teaming up with one eyed Simba. Best Disney crossover ever...?
Well... They're murdering the chance of a Kane twins movie, and seeing how other Rick Roidan movies went... Probably a good thing
+ras144 and dont get started on alladin, who lives in the city where everyone is trying to murder each other, because, you know thats just how middle eastern people are...
+Christopher OBrien I'd love to see a fan-made movie/s of his books. I think they would be better than what Hollywood could ever make.
When Not-Aladin's girlfriend got shot I started laughing so hard that I had to leave the theatre!
1Kenny30 I KNOW!!
Anyone else really amused by how Sarah describes everything as pretty? Like everything is an adorable little flower. 💐✨
That's bc she too is an adorable flower
+Reioa She really is cute!
They could have completely dropped the "Gods being taller than humans" thing because the Egyptian gods were never portrayed as being larger, so it seems like they could've saved a lot of money just not doing that at all.
An actually good use of special effects that they left out would've been making the gods part animal like they were usually portrayed - making them turn into transformers doesn't count!
How a 140 million budget is distributed:
Actors: 20 millions
Costumes and sets: 10 millions
CGI: 10 millions
Cocaine money: 100 millions
You know its bad when yugioh depicts Egyptian history better.
Oh SNAP!!! That was great!!!
I'm not even disappointed in the whitewashing, I'm disappointed in the lack of Obelisk the Tormentor, Slifer the Executive Producer, and Giant Mega Ultra Chicken
+Alonso Arana No! Shhh! He is legend.
+Alonso Arana But why are they called that?
+Alonso Arana OH MY GOD! A GIANT ROCK!
+Alonso Arana Pwotagonist!
+Alonso Arana It needed more ANCIENT EGYPTIAN LASER BEAMS!
Sarah's expression at being told the 140 million dollar budget sums this all up so well.
When Sarah said "Watch the Wall," I thought she meant to literally turn and just face the wall while high, as that'd be better than watching this movie.
If that was her intent, well... She isn't wrong. This movie sounds like shit.
for shame.
Sarah's expression when Brad mentions that the movie cost 140 mil cracked me up.
She's so adorable. I don't want anyone to get fired!
Gods of Egypt: or how to burn money faster than The Joker in The Dark Knight.
I'm still not sure who was faster at burning money: The KLF, Dark Knight Joker or this movie.
140 million dollar budget, holy shittttttttttt
+Anime Balls Deep I know, right? Say whatever one wants about, "Jupiter Ascending", that movie at least has ideas. This is just awful.
+Anime Balls Deep Someone was using this shitty movie to hide their drug money in, it had to be!
+Anime Balls Deep Terminator 2 from 1991 is only a little over $100 million yet it still looks better than this movie.
+Anime Balls Deep and they made a bit above 40 million.
I found it adorable how Sarah made a face at 2:03 when Brad told her it was a 150 dollars and asked: .....Where did it go?
I still find it hard to believe this movie cost 140 million dollars. A chunk of that went into the CGI, but I'm convinced that the rest either went into some secret drug-fueled, 4-day weekend orgy or someone behind the scenes pulled some major financial shenanigans that would make Golan & Globus blush.
Gods and Generals is great, for the record. Long as anything, but so was the book it's based on. Great music too.
What's funny is that I saw the trailer for this 3 times in a week.

SsnakeBite it didn't even look like a real movie from the trailer.
Actually, fun fact, most of their budget actually came from tax cuts from Australia. The real budget was actually much much smaller, somewhere around 30 million.
Further proof of the evils of... Ancient Egypt! (cue Imperial March)
"He said Impossible yes.... and then had no where else to go and then they ran out of money" XD
"This...is...Egypt!"
Sigh, maybe one day Hollywood will understand that, like practical effects, CGI is a tool and not something to rely on to do EVERYTHING.
I'm OK with CGI as a main effect. It can be just another artistic choice vs practcal effects. But you still need something to support the choice. I could tell Gods of Egypt was going to suck but I'm looking forward to The Jungle Book.

_Gods and Generals_- the prequel to _Risen_, coming soon!
goddammit I'm so late to this but I love seeing Sarah (I love you all
What I got from the trailer of this film is that ancient Egyptians worshiped white people.
The Wolverine Origins game was in fact very good. They really nailed the whole damage modeling thing.
Actually the Wolverine Origins game is one of the best videogames based of a movie
+Leppard Man
Not the one for the Wii. I don't know what the others were like, but I played that one before and it's a pretty lazy action game.
+Leppard Man Nope. Spider-Man 2 for PS2.
+Leppard Man The Warriors on ps2/xbox

Seeing this review along with Chris Stuckmann's review makes me wish for those 2 to do a crossover.
I'm guessing Gerard Butler has a $100 million cocaine addiction.

Fincher is soaring
I have been looking forward to this review!
40% of the film's budget was funded by Australian taxpayers!
And the ad for this was gods of Egypt on blue ray... No joke.
"And then they ran out of money" sums up this film pretty well.
Soooo true
The very first poster I saw for this movie had what I could only assume was a robotic sphinx roaring fighting a robotic Anubis. I truly thought it was for a fifth Michael Bay Transformer film. And I said out loud to my friend, "I thought that his reboot already did an Egypt-themed thing." And she goes, "No, this is something completely different."

The movie was a fun time. It had a child like enthusiasm to it that added a charisma to it. It made the stuff that would normally be considered bad fun. It was not perfect but no movie is perfect.
Great review Brad and Sarah

+AntDaVain1786 They clearly meant the review.
Can't believe it. Not ONE comparison to the Titans movies.
I'm trying to imagine watching Titus stoned.
"Dude, I just realized... rape is TERRIBLE."
Yes! Sarah is back.
Sarah: Really....Where did it go? The question of 2016!
So this movie is a hybrid of Jupiter Ascending and Noah?
+Genin99 Surely.
With about 1/10th the effects quality of either movie, sure.
Noah was good, though. This is more comparable to Risen lol
sonicjrjr14
The people who liked Noah usually view it as unintentionally funny.
Gods of Egypt is a less funnier Noah.
Genin99 Well I'm one of the people who didn't
You wrapped things up nicely with that "The Wall" recommendation. :-)
HA! I actually said to myself "X-men Origins: Wolverine" before Brad said it. What a fun game.
I love it. "Now that kinda bums me out though. Whose gonna lose their job?"
Sarah is an ANGEL I swear!!
I feel this is going to be one of those movies that gets played in the background of a party. You know, as a kind of noise filler. For the host that doesn't want to get one of those lightshow things you get from the back of a Spencers.

Shame Linkara didn't see this one with them so he could use his "Ancient Egypt!" joke.
Hell yeah Brad, the Wolverine Origins video game was awesome!
"I can't believe this movie had a 140 million budget."
"Dude, really? Where'd it go?"
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHS
I love her as a reviewer and both together! I do think the movie could have been salvaged through editing, if they didn't have a narcoleptic art director.
"These days, you can throw $140million at a movie and it still looks like fucking shit~!!!' THAT'S GOLD!
This is my first vid, and I love this channel! Subscribed. (And I won't be seeing this movie)
I didnt hate this movie. It weirdly often pops up on TV and I never get bored from it
So I was reading that with all the tax credits and pre-sales of this movie Lionsgate is only on the hook for like $10 million (which it has already made back BTW). The Australian government gave them a tax credit equivalent to 46% of the movies budget. So no ones losing their job.
Aww yeah, now I'm hyped for ghostbusters
trailer opinion and midnight screening from cinema snob.
As soon as I saw "Memory Card Full, Please Stand By", I got an add for a phone with "Expanded Memory".
Na, it's not you Brad. The X Men Origins Wolverine game ain't bad, most people agree that's actually a pretty good game if only because it's one of the few M rated/R rated stuff of Wolverine outside of the comics cause you fuck people up in that game
"Gweh" needs to be added to the English vocabulary somehow.
i called it so many times after seeing the previews
+rené roy Totally. The moment I saw the trailer, I was like, "Done!"
After all what I heard, I can understand the clapping: This could be the next Battlefield Earth!!
That look of shock at ~ 2:00 priceless
4:00 in the morning when we were 20 and high.
Did you just make a 420 joke? Well done
Why is there a Stargate on the poster?
and Mr. Jones could U please review the 33 cause U miss it in 2015
Can't wait for Brad's opinion on Zootopia, since it's basically an 80s buddy cop movie.
You know what I remember about Full House? When the house started on fire and everyone died. Anyone else remember that? I think it was season 1 episode 1.
What AMC did you go to? I remember one close to me that had a Red Lobster in the same plaza but I don't know if that's a common thing with those theaters.
+10superpower They go to the Showplace 12 in Springfield.
"NC-17, that's what Deadpool should have been rated" So it can be harder to convince your mom to let you see it?

+Rixizu Oh yeah other great movies get great reviews all the time. Of course he is the special misunderstood snowflake that is "misunderstood".
+Rixizu
Goddammit. That's the saddest thing - when a director can't recognize that they made a bad movie, or even that their movie just _had flaws_.
I like how, for like, five minutes, this becomes a review of How I Met Your Mother.
When Sarah said "Poor Geoffrey Rush" she looked SO
Thumbnail Brad is far more invested in the film than Actual Brad.
For the record... I personally love Gods and Generals but completely understand the run time jab lol
the librarians TV show that is a sequel to the movie is actually really funny.
Hey, my sister was in Gods and Generals!
The Wolverine Origins videogame is pretty good actually, certainly better than the movie. Ghost Rider also had a pretty good videogame
This sounds like something that's going to get a cult following in ten years like Troll 2.
Ok Gods of Egypt is a very bad movie but its one those bad movies I had fun with. I had a good time with this crazy shit..lol
+jmctigret Yeah, i Enjoyed it. I don't think it needed to be bashed repeatedly like it was completely worthless.
10 seconds in and your reaction to this piece of sh- i mean art is amazing. Brad and Sarah, hope the channel and Midnight Screenings continues for the greater good :D
P.S: Who honestly thought this film would suck as soon as you saw the trailer or hell even the poster? I know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but....no, no i'll totally judge the shit out of both the poster and the trailer. Rather save my pennies for Zootopia (which ironically is actually suiting well with critics.) or even London Has Fallen. Or maybe neither? idk.
why do you say you hope they continue? did they announce any change?
I don't understand why Hollywood absolutely refuses to use the proper ethnicities for the regions where a movie takes place. What's the big fucking deal?!
They shot the movie in Australia, and they were given a bunch of tax credits to use Australian actors, which means that the studio won't feel the full effect of that ginormous budget.
+Banter Board Name recognition is more important to Hollywood than being ethnically accurate. It's a buisness after all.
+Grizzly Man To me it's more annoying that everyone in the ancient world has a British accent in so many movies like these, like with Prince of Persia it took me completely outta the movie, and Gemma Aterton's flat robotic line delivery as the "Princess" or whatever.

The Librarian 3 definitely has that problem more than the other two.
i love that half this rview is just them talking about ANYTHING but the movie lol
Please tell me you'll go to Warcraft screening as well? =D
Can you balance the audio please?
Didn't even mention how "amazing" the greenscreen is in the chariot sequences are.
Is it one of those So bad it's good?

No.
You are not right! This film is awesome!
The wolverine origins game was awesome I might still have it i beat it multiple times
