Reprising his role as Banning, Butler was a strong casting choice in the first film, and he continues his tough guy, “take no prisoners” persona in this one as well.

In a time of remakes and sequels, Gods of Egypt attempts to bring something fresh to the theaters.

The real question is after 15 years, could they capture the silly, stupid and yet fun magic in a bottle they caught with the Zoolander and would the next generation even be interested?

If you do decide to see How to Be Single, don’t expect much. It isn’t very funny. Johnson plays almost the same character as she did in Fifty Shades of Grey while Wilson is “Fat Amy”, only in a different setting.
