10 Movies That Were So Bad You Couldn't Even Get Angry
3. Gods Of Egypt
It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall in the boardroom at Summit Entertainment when everybody nodded in unison and agreed that the pitch for Gods of Egypt was worth investing $140 million in. To the vast majority of outsiders, this was a movie that seemed destined for failure, and had 'box office bomb' written all over it from the very beginning.
Matters weren't helped by both the studio and director Alex Proyas publicly apologizing for whitewashing the cast during production, with the negative publicity hanging over Gods of Egypt not exactly helping the movie's already-slim chances of success.
When it finally hit theaters, it turned out to be just as bad as everyone was expecting it to be, and gave off the weird vibe of being in the same vein as the low-budget historical fantasies that were dime-a-dozen during Ray Harryhausen's peak, except this time around it featured actual movie stars and cost as much to make as a Fast and Furious movie.
That being said, Gods of Egypt has found favor as an unintentional camp classic, with people in awe at the terrible effects, laughably bad dialogue and general sense of amazement at how in the hell something like this could make it all the way from page to screen without anybody once pointing out that it was going to suck.
