Rotten Tomatoes score: 12%

It's Jaime Lannister again in what must be one of the most spectacularly misjudged action epics of recent times. The blond Danish star is here cast as the Egyptian god Horus, facing off against fellow African deity Set, in the form of shouty Scotsman Gerard Butler.

While Thrones has undoubtedly made Coster-Waldau a far bigger star than ever before, it's really hard to argue that he's such an A-lister that only his name above the title would get this movie made in a way that no actor who could conceivably appear Egyptian would.

Of course, the racially dubious casting might have been at least slightly overlooked had the movie shown itself to have something else to offer, but it doesn't. It's a real shame to see Alex Proyas, director of the visionary Dark City, reduced to making something that makes Clash Of The Titans look good.

Too long, tediously plotted, and with characters that lack charisma or any chemistry at all, it's an amateurish film on almost every level, with the CGI effects bewilderingly poor for a film of its budget in 2016, something not helped by the sliding scale of the size of Coster-Waldau's god next to his human sidekick.
