CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The Movie Diorama Perhaps another saturated sub-genre, the "swords and sandals" films that tackle Ancient Greek and Roman mythology. Whether it be battling titans, overruling tyrants, joining the Gods...or in this case all of the above. Immortals tries to be everything, but never fully succeeds in translating any of these appropriately. Theseus and a small band of peasants are embroiled in a battle for power. King Hyperion searches for the Emperor's Bow to free the imprisoned Titans which the Gods locked away in Mount Tartarus. Mimicking the over stylised violence of '300', it is a definite case of style over substance. It's a perfectly good looking epic that captures the grandiose of Ancient Greece and presents memorable battle sequences. The Gods of Mount Olympus swarming in on the Titans was one of the better scenes, particularly the blend of slow motion and real time movement. Some infrequent use of one take fight scenes as Theseus waves his sword around side on from the camera. But this is then omitted by a plague of quick cuts during simple dialogue segments that really just infuriated me. Back and forth, back and forth, the editing was horrific. The acting consists of testosterone fuelled screams and monologues about the divinity of mankind and the opposition of tyranny. Yawwwn. The characters were one-dimensional and therefore the story gave me no thrills. Yes I could watch Mickey Rourke decimate Henry Cavill for ten minutes, yet it amounts to nothing. Actually it does amount to something, an underwhelming conclusion. Also John Hurt was criminally underused. Costumes, visual effects (even the apparent green screen) and the production design were all good. It's just nothing new, and unfortunately for Immortals it has been done better. I actually prefer 'Clash of the Titans', and I don't mean the original...

Andy Van Scoyoc Really, just honestly not my thing.Not sure what I was expecting,but I wasn't let down, or pleasantly surprised, either one.Being a Greek Mythology aficionado, I was hoping for more from this movie and just didn't get it.The only redeeming quality of this movie, for me, was the over-the-top, carnage.That made it worth agonizing through, but that's about all.If you don't mind a slow pace, mediocre (at best) acting and you're not expecting a lot, you might enjoy it.

a-games-136-715468 With its glorious visuals, an intriguing story, stellar cast and exhilarating, spectacular action, Tarsem Singh succeeds completely in bringing the violent, dark age of ancient Greece and balancing the Greek myths of Theseus and the Minotaur with the Titanomachy (the war between the Olympians and Titans) to visceral life, resulting in Immortals becoming a cult classic and one of the best films of 2011 as well as one of the greatest action films of all time.Pros: Fantastic action scenes, stellar performances, a fascinating take on Greek mythology, intriguing story, flawless pacing, gorgeous set/production design and great visuals.Cons: Not enough character development, script could have been better, needs a few more action scenes and some scenes are to dark to see anything.
