Immortals (2011)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: The melding of real sets, CG work, and Tarsem's signature style produces fireworks, though the same can't be said for Immortals slack, boring storytelling.

This is an awfully dumb movie that I'll still remember for a while.
Grisly, gross, messy - and I'm not just talking about Mickey Rourke's table manners
Tarsem Singh's imaginative visuals are the main draw of Immortals - which is subsequently held together by a mostly adequate story of gods, titans, and humanity.
You can't take your eyes off it - it's like watching the butchest float on the Gay Pride parade crash in super slow-motion HD.
Looks aren't everything, but you'd never guess that by watching Immortals. With a solid cast and breathtaking fight scenes, you almost forget that there's not much of a story.
"Immortals" is indeed good-looking and is even entertaining for a few brief sequences, but that's not nearly enough to begin making up for its multiple flaws elsewhere.
Audience Reviews for Immortals
Visually stunning, but not the best storytelling.
Super Reviewer
"Immortals was OK. I enjoyed the action and the blood and gore. But the story was lacking for me. It is visually nice and there are a lot of great action scenes. But I was a little bored. I just didn't care about what happened. The acting was OK. I really like Luke Evans. I wanted to see more of him. I liked John Hurt in this as well. It didn't impress me. The film is worth seeing at least once."

A decent sword & sandals film. Generally more like 300 than Clash of the Titans thankfully. From the same producers I believe as 300 and it has a very similar CGI visual style to it. A nice twist to some of the Greek mythology in the story. The fight scenes are well choreographed and the SFX are very good. Add to that Mickey Rourke giving a good performance as the chief villain and you have a very good film.

Immortals Quotes
| Theseus: | They are cowards, they hide behind masks. |
| Phaedra: | To those whom much is given, much is lost. |
| Theseus: | This is your last embrace, Hyperion. Look at me. Look at me! I'm the last thing you will ever see... Witness hell. |
| Old Man: | [voice over] When this world was still young, long before man or beast roamed these lands, there was a war in the heavens. Immortals, once thoughts incapable of death, discovered they had the power to kill one another. Lost in this war was a weapon of unimaginable power, the Epirus bow. The victors declared themselves Gods, while the vanquished were renamed Titans and forever imprisoned within the bowels of Mount Tartarus. Eons passed, mankind flourished and the great war receded from memory. But the evil that once was has reemerged. |
