Movie Review: GOD OF WAR: EGYPT (2025)
New gods. New war. Same rage.
Kratos is back — and this time, the Ghost of Sparta walks beneath burning suns and ancient pyramids in GOD OF WAR: EGYPT (2025), a thunderous cinematic adaptation that boldly expands the mythology and raises the stakes for the iconic antihero.
Directed by Zack Snyder with brutal elegance, this latest chapter sees Kratos (played with explosive intensity by Dave Bautista) journeying through a war-torn Egypt after the fall of the Norse pantheon. Hunted by Anubis, challenged by Horus, and seduced by the whispers of Isis, Kratos must face not only new gods but the haunting consequences of his blood-soaked past. Alongside him is Atreus (Logan Lerman), now a young warrior and bearer of secrets that may shatter everything Kratos believes.
From its jaw-dropping desert battles to the surreal beauty of the underworld, GOD OF WAR: EGYPT is a visual triumph. Snyder’s signature slow-motion combat is on full display during the brutal fight between Kratos and Sobek atop a sinking temple, while Junkie XL’s pounding score adds godlike weight to every punch, roar, and heartbreak.
What makes this film truly stand out isn’t just the action — it’s the emotional depth. Kratos is no longer just a killer of gods; he’s a father, a man seeking purpose in a world of shifting legends. Bautista brings a raw, weary gravitas to the role, while Lerman’s Atreus is torn between loyalty and destiny in powerful, tragic ways.
Myth fans will be thrilled by the rich lore woven throughout — from cursed relics to the emergence of a prophecy involving Set and the “One Who Brings Eternal Dusk.” The final 20 minutes? Absolutely mythic, with a twist that redefines the entire pantheon war.
⭐ Rating: 9.2/10 — Epic in scale, intimate in emotion. A blood-soaked, sun-scorched triumph worthy of the gods.
