The ban is done on religious grounds because the film is too violent.The head of the Egyptian censorship body says the country's highest committee decided not to let the movie be shown. An official with the censorship body says there's no one scene the panel had problems with; it was the movie as a whole. But in a statement the committee said it did like the high-tech effects, which they describe as "fabulous."
