He has covered everything from Marvel to the Oscars, and Marvel at the Oscars. He also writes obsessively about the box office, charting the many hits and misses that are released weekly, and how their commercial performance shapes public perception. In his time at Collider, he has also helped drive diversity by writing stories about the multiple Indian film industries, with a goal of introducing audiences to a whole new world of cinema.
In his tragically short career as a movie star, the late Chadwick Boseman gained recognition for playing Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also for playing legendary real-life figures in a handful of biopics. He starred as James Brown in Get On Up, as Thurgood Marshall in Marshall, and as Jackie Robinson in 42. He received an Oscar nomination for his final performance, in the Netflix film Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. It was released in the same year as Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods. Boseman maintained a high level of creative quality throughout his career, but even he couldn’t avoid the odd clunker. The weakest film he ever appeared in, a poorly reviewed fantasy, was ironically released in the same year as Captain America: Civil War, the movie with which he debuted as Black Panther.
The poorly reviewed fantasy is turning 10 this year, and is currently streaming on Peacock in the United States. Those looking to satisfy a morbid curiosity might want to hurry up, because it’ll leave the platform soon. The movie in question also stars Gerard Butler and was directed by the acclaimed Australian filmmaker Alex Proyas. When it opened to poor reviews and an underwhelming response at the box office, Proyas unloaded on critics who’d panned his movie, describing them in a Facebook post as “diseased vultures.”
The scores below reveal your true character. Your highest number is your match. Even a tie tells a story — the Fellowship was never made of simple people.
You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.
You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.
You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.
You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.
Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.
You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.
You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.
You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.
We’re talking, of course, about Gods of Egypt. The movie also featured Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Brenton Thwaites, and was produced on a reported budget of $140 million. However, it grossed only $150 million worldwide and reportedly lost $90 million. Gods of Egypt now holds a 15% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the pithy consensus reads, “Look on Gods of Egypt, ye filmgoers, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay of this colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away. (Apologies to Shelley.)” Proyas hasn’t directed a feature film since, although he’s putting together an ambitious sci-fi musical produced on crowd-funded money. You can watch Gods of Egypt on Peacock, but only until **June 1. **Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
