    Immortals: C-

    by MattH306

    The action scenes did not make up for the awful script and puzzling storyline.

    Pretty but...

    by rac00n

    Immortals is full of luscious eye candy--the entire cast seems to be perfectly sculpted from marble. The costumes and action sequences are also quite stunning. However, like many of Tarsem's movies, the story is purely superficial and seems to lack the care and attention to detail that directors like Zack Snyder, Peter Jackson, and Bryan Singer imbed in their creations. Also, the movie manages to mangle mythology in a way that is completely annoying to anyone that has studied basic Greek Mythology. And finally the mix of British accents and American accents quickly snaps the viewer back into reality, leaving them wishing that they had been able to spend more time in such a pretty world. Immortals had potential...too bad it was helmed by such a misguided leader.

    Go for the visuals but don't expect too much else.

    What Immortals - No one was immortal

    by

    The way the gods were depicted was a little strange. And what's up with the wierd hedresses most of them wore. The Titans were not titans, more like a bunch of crazed monkeys running around. How did so many of them fit into that small cage.

    I expected more of the movie. The whole theme was a little understated.

    When Compared to "300", Immortals comes in at about 150.

    by remav

    One has to ignore a LOT of things about this movie to rate it a Must Go. My guess is that there was a lot left on the cutting room floor to keep it from running long, and this Ieft me feeling that I only saw the "Cliffs Notes" of the story. There are no sub plots & whatever character development the original story contained for the side-kick & supporting actors... well, it all got kicked to the side.

    The choice of wardrobe for the gods was anything but hetero & reminded me of David Bowie when at his androgynous outlandish best. It's a good thing Athena had Zeus because I don't believe any of the other boy-gods looked up to the task. It left a weird stage where these cherub-ish immortals inflicted over the top gore on their enemies with every slap.

    There are amazing scenes & sound that almost carried my rating to a "Go", but if you have a good home theater this a $.99 rental not worth a $9 theater ticket. ...and if you don't have a good home theater skip it all together.

    Immortals

    by

    From the producers of "300" emerges another Greek mythology film: the graphics, cinematography, art, costume design befit the style "300" boasted but the character development and story lack the edge and emotional connection previously delivered. The theatrical teaser definitely caught attention but it's disappointing that there is not as much screen time for the divine immortals. With an immortal cast consisting of just 4-5, it seems like the film couldn't afford such high-payrolls.Alas, a full-time plot of what goes on in Olympus and the world of the Gods would have been a breath-taking story to behold.

    Entertaining

    by rseitz

    First of all, on an entertainment basis, the movie was pretty good. The picture was filmed in a way that made it look really cool, lots of action and blood. So most guys are going to like it. For me, I thought the acting was great but it is missing more character detail. The film did not allow you to get caught up in the emotions that we are supposed to be moved by because it did not allow us time to "love" the characters. It felt rushed in a way that I felt something was missing. You know when you watched Gladiator or even 300, you got to know the characters in a way that got you really cheering for them, or feeling their pain and struggles. You were suppose to get that from Theseus but there was just no time for it. Overall, I'd say go if you want to watch a really cool action and it is not a very long movie so quick and dirty entertainment awaits.

    Immortals

    by Carter6

    It is a well made movie, but a little too gory for me. I definately don't recommend this R Rated movie for kids. There is a LOT of violence & blood! The ending opens itself up for a sequal so lets see where the Next Generation of Immortals takes us!

    Perfect if you like bloody fight scenes!!!

    by squirrel2371

    I'll keep this short and sweet. IF YOU ARE A GIRLY PERSON AND DISLIKE BLOODY FIGHT SCENES, DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE. Now!! with that said, this movie was everything that I expected it to be. This is 300 x 10. Don't go see this and expect some soft Twilight crap...this is MAN-MOVIE!! You should walk out of this flick wanting to kick someone's @$$
    SIDENOTE: Some scenes even made me cringe.

    Your time is better spent...

    by kev_is_the_gutman

    ...vigorously rubbing a cheese grater on your butt and sitting in a bowl of rubbing alcohol. You will also feel much better. This was more like the story of Fecesus, not Theseus.

    Good Movie!

    by MrWilliamsArmy83

    I thought this movie was pretty good the only thing this is I didnt understand how Gods could get killed like that? I was kind of upset about that part but overall a good movie.

    IMMORTALS

    by arch7

    I am a big fan of the 300, so my wife and I went this morning. I was pleased with this movie for the most part, however a little disappointed at the ending. The movie 300 had much more exciting action. I've adopted the name Spartans for my business, so overall this movie was good, but not great like the 300.

    Immortals

    by Fyrangel

    Visually and action wise, this movie had a lot going for it. The cinematography and effects were epic and the actors were actually good. I wish that rather than using the Mythology and names as only a bare starting point they had just been original and created their own mythos. As in changing the names to protect the innocent. The story of Theseus took a right turn at Neverland and never looked back. This was not the story of Theseus but a rather well written story using the names and some locations.

    All in all, this movie is worth seeing if you love action and great visuals, but if you are a mythology buff, don't be expecting anything close to the story that you know and love.
