Scored 60 points, just passed, a little better than "Clash of the Gods". It can't be said that it is careless, the special effects are not bad, but the plot is too messy and lengthy, and it will make people drowsy for two hours. It is not recommended to go to the cinema.

1. Story: Egyptian mythology is still not well told, too long and sleepy.
1. "God War: Eyes of Power" takes place in the era when the Egyptian gods ruled Egypt. The gods are in charge of each section, in charge of the sky, the sea, the desert, the underworld, as well as wisdom, love and beauty. They are tall and flowing in their veins. It is gold, not blood, and has various super powers that can transform into a beast. Although they are gods, they have the same desires as mortals. They will be angry, jealous, cheating, and conspiracy to usurp the throne.
The sun god "Ra" has two sons: Osiris is upright and upright, and is very popular with his father, in charge of the world and the city. Seth was narrow-minded, tyrannical and jealous, in charge of the desert, and he became the "God of Storms".
Osiris was getting older and planned to pass the throne to his son Horus. At the coronation ceremony, Set suddenly attacked, killed Osiris, defeated Horus, and took out Horus' eyes (the main ability). in the eyes) and exiled him into the wilderness.

A mortal couple is optimistic about Horus and secretly helps him make a comeback. During this time, the girl was shot to death, and she still encouraged Horus and her boyfriend on Huangquan Road. Horus was moved by humans, and his spirits began to rise. After N difficulties, he finally helped his grandfather, the sun god Ra (later even his grandfather was defeated and exiled by Set) to regain his position and defeat Set.
2. It is the N-way difficulty. The priority and focus of the process are not properly assigned, which is tedious and boring. In fact, you can do some subtraction, highlight a certain paragraph, it may appear more exciting.


(The following quote from Han Songluo's comment points out my voice)
3. The most impressive thing in the whole movie is Zaya, the girl who walks in the underworld and is about to be reincarnated. She was beautiful and innocent, always smiling, softly speaking, and having the most innocent sensuality. As a slave, she has no property of her own (the chance of reincarnation needs to be purchased with money), and she has no qualifications for reincarnation. Before sending her to the underworld, Osiris asked her: "What will you repay me with?" Her answer was still innocent: "With my smile."
She walked alone on the road to the underworld, where it was gloomy and gloomy, The world is desolate and desolate. In her team, there are other people who have been reincarnated. They are silent and cannot communicate with her in the slightest. Sweet smile, walking on such a road. Her figure is the most unforgettable part of this story. Although the war of the gods is sound, it is the sadness of a girl that truly touches the heart.


4. The answer to the Sphinx is: tomorrow.

Second, visual effects: bonus items.
1. The pictures and special effects are still very fine, and some shots seem to be unclean, but the overall quality is excellent.
2. The overall tone of the film is local tyrant gold. The story takes place in Egypt. The desert is golden, the pyramids are golden, and the blood of the gods is golden.
3. The visualization of the underworld is quite in place.
The film clearly and figuratively restores the undead of the underworld and the "Judgement of Hell", the famous balance with a feather at one end. In addition to the panorama of the entire Egypt, various pyramids, the world in the tower, various mythical beasts, and races, they are all clearly portrayed in the film, with gusty winds and creepy eyes.

3. Actors: Very handsome and beautiful, the advantages and bonus points of this film.
1. Three male gods: the kingslayer in the popular American TV series "Game of Thrones", the Danish long-legged uncle Nikolai Coster-Waldau, the male protagonist of "300 Spartans", the Scottish hero Lion Gerard Butler and Australian fresh meat Brenton Thwaites represent maturity, domineering and beauty respectively. This multi-national cuisine should be able to cover female audiences of different ages and needs.
2. The beauty is very attractive:
The goddess of love, which represents the beauty, is not beautiful, but it is very affectionate and righteous, and has a refined temperament, which is suitable for being a wife.
Zaya, pure and beautiful, with beautiful breasts;
a goddess with wings, noble and good-looking ; there is
not a bad woman in this film, I am not used to it;


4. Others:
1. About 200 crew members participated in the film at the same time. movie and Mad Max 4 Fury Road, you will find many familiar faces.
2. The crew hoped to enter the Sahara Desert for field shooting, but gave up because it was too dangerous. The final film was shot in the deserts of Australia.
3. The producer Lionsgate/Summit revealed that the production cost of the film was only about US$10 million, which was recovered through international pre-sale and Australian tax incentives.

Summary: The visual effects are not said, and the story is not enough. Not recommended.

    Without the support of Hollywood-level special effects, it is hard to imagine what a long and mediocre work "War of Gods: Eyes of Power" would be. The poor plot structure of Egyptian mythology makes the stacking of love and revenge extremely pale and lacklustre. The battle for the throne has further dimmed the dazzling and luxurious golden screen.

    The male ticket likes the theme of the myth series, so just watch it. The plot is still a little weak, but the god of love is beautiful! The flying goddess is also gorgeous!
