Critics are absolutely destroying box-office bomb 'Gods of Egypt' - an epic so bad it might be great

Sometimes a movie comes along that critics can universally get behind, and often it's one of the awful ones.

The latest example is Lionsgate's "Gods of Egypt" (now in theaters), in which Gerard Butler, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ("Games of Thrones"), and Geoffrey Rush star in a fantasy tale set in ancient Egypt, where 10-foot tall gods and regular-sized (yet beefy) mortals duke it out for supremacy.

The epic cost $140 million to make and is projected to take in only around $15 million in its debut weekend.

But enough about the movie - let's get to the venom the critics have relentlessly spewed about it.

Below is a glimpse at why this movie currently has a 12% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
