An unmissable film for mythology lovers, a springboard to learn about Egyptian mythology

The scene of Horus vs Seth made my friends exclaim like a boxing champion, and after the transformation, Horus somehow reminded me of Izanagi from PG4, and the cunning and cute performance of Babe, the little human flesh, In short, the appearance and body are extremely beautiful, so that a lot of extra flash points have been added.
I believe that fans who are used to watching European and American epic masterpieces will not find it difficult to find that the character setting of this film is actually not much new. (Actually, Seth has also made me embarrassed several times.) The characters in the film always make people feel deja vu from the similar films they have seen. Then the plot is the battle for the throne between the uncle and nephew, the brother's desire for father's love (nothing), the fallen mortal and the mortal god who saves the world together, so I can't help but correspond with the Asa family one by one . But in any case, it will not be boring to watch for two hours.
Tell me about the places that make me feel bright. What surprised me the most was the figurative representation of Egyptian mythology. For example, the spaceship pulled by the sun god pulls the sun around the mortal world, showing a flat human world, as well as the journey after the death of the gods and so on. Then there is the depiction of ancient Egyptian cities. The golden hue highlights the special geography and climate of Egypt. It is not difficult to understand the reasons for the formation of the Egyptian civilization style. The luxurious palaces are located in the desert, adding a sense of grandeur. I am a Thor fan, and I have to say that the temple here seems to be more majestic than Asgard. Then there is the music. The music of each scene has fulfilled the responsibility of setting the atmosphere, and it does not lose the Egyptian style.
Egypt is worthy of being one of the four ancient civilizations, and the splendid imagination in mythology makes people have to be amazed. Personally, I think the score of 6.8 is really low. After reading the hot reviews, I found that it was affected by IMDb to some extent. A film that did not receive a good response in North America is indeed not well received in the mainland. However, I still want to say that there are also many viewers on IMDb who have given high scores, and most of the low scores are from followers of professional film critics.
This is my first time writing a movie review. The reason is that after watching it, I really feel that the rating is too low. Maybe the plot is not so twists and turns, and the ending seems to be doomed, but I believe that for movie fans who love mythology, this movie The film will definitely not disappoint you, you will definitely connect with Chinese mythology, Japanese mythology, Nordic mythology, and then you can't help comparing the similarities and differences, from the cosmology, the lifespan of the gods, to the flying posture (Tai Shangjun is flying straight. Yeah, hahaha), so much fun.
