20 Worst Movies Of 2016 (So Far)

This is exactly the kind of rubbish that the early year graveyard slot was invented for. It's a shame we have to sometimes reinforce the usefulness of that dumping ground, but if it means dross like this is kept somewhat away from the undeserving general public, then it's no bad thing.

For some, Gods OF Egypt's biggest crime is its distasteful white-washing of lead characters, none of whom look or sound like they've even been to Egypt let alone being actually from there. That is terrible of course, but don't let it gloss over the fact that the actual substance of the film is also utterly terrible.

It's pompous, over-blown and slick with a gloss that attempts to distract from issues with plot, characters and dialogue: it's oddly serious, occasionally unintentionally hilarious and painfully dull. And more than anything, it's an intolerable waste of talent, and feels a lot like the mad scribblings of an under-achieving child who was encouraged to "express themselves" no matter what criticism comes their way.
