Not for everyone, but if you love Greek mythology or Henry Cavill, you'll probably enjoy it. Has 300-style vibes with darker tones and vengeance themes. Cinematography isn't great, but the atmosphere is unique. For me, it's strictly for ancient Greek lovers. Even though there is nothing accurate . Idn i liked it.

While the film does not possess an entirely original plot, Immortals’ star studded cast, violent action and amazing visuals make it an entertaining fantasy viewing.

Immortals is like stepping into a Greek mythology fever dream where everyone looks like they just walked out of a tanning booth, but hey, it works for the aesthetic. The movie is a visual powerhouse, with Tarsem Singh crafting a bold, surreal take on mythology that feels more like a painting in motion than your average action flick. The fight scenes are undeniably the highlight, stylized, brutal, and dripping with energy. Henry Cavill shines as Theseus, delivering a performance that feels grounded amidst the chaos, while Mickey Rourke's Hyperion brings an intimidating presence, even if his character lacks complexity.Where Immortals stumbles is in its story, which feels more like a vehicle for the visuals than an engaging narrative. The characters are serviceable, but most lack depth, leaving you wanting more from the emotional stakes. That said, if you're here for striking visuals, intense action, and a unique twist on Greek mythology, it's still a fun ride. Think of it as a movie you watch for the spectacle--not for the substance. Worth watching if you're in the mood for a stylized, no-strings-attached mythological adventure.

I confess that I expected more from this film: here, style was valued more than substance. In fact, the film has an intensive visual and stylistic treatment, with the use and abuse of CGI and other visual resources, but it is not able to tell us a good story. Being a film based on classical mythology, and this mythology being such a rich set of interesting stories, such a weakness is, for me, truly unforgivable. The film begins by telling, very sketchily, the way the Olympic gods won and imprisoned the Titans. Then, he takes advantage of this base to create an unreasonable story in which a king, revolted against them, decides to wage war to free the titans, and the gods choose to rely on the figure of Theseus, a human, or demigod, son of Zeus with a human girl, that they think they have everything it takes to fight the rebellion. Directed ineffectively and uncoordinated by Tarsem Singh, the cast does what it can, but has neither the material nor the opportunity to do much. Mickey Rourke is the actor who stands out the most, and who seemed to be effective as a villain and very committed to making his character a detestable figure. John Hurt was also impeccable in a simple cameo. Everything else is a descent to Tartarus: Henry Cavill seemed totally uncomfortable with his character, who is overly sketchy and devoid of personality; Luke Evans was a Zeus stripped of interest and charisma; Freida Pinto appears only because the film needs a beautiful actress in the midst of so much accumulated testosterone. Where Director Singh really bet strongly was on visual style and production values, and nothing like a grand and expensive package to cover the void of content in this film. Its cinematography, strongly stylized and artificial, reminds us of some graphic novels or comic books: the CGI was in charge of providing us with vibrant colors, out-of-the-box sets and a certain dreamlike feeling. The costumes, quite exaggerated, align very well with this aesthetic and the action sequences, perhaps more sparse than we might expect, were exaggerated and blistered as far as possible. Everything would be acceptable with a good story behind it, but it didn't happen here.

I loved this movie. My favorite movie, without a doubt, the action and story were great. I could watch this 100 times without getting bored

This movie could have been great.... But the pacing was soooo slowwwwwww..... Mickey Rourke was terrible. The only good thing about this movie was the 3D. Henry Cavill was ok in this. But the action scenes were so fake looking. Don't get me wrong I love 300 and Spartacus but it just didn't work here.

This is a decent Greek mythology film with great visuals and solid acting. Has many issues however.

How the hell a movie like this is so f boring, even the hot bodies of Cavill and Dorf did not make me saw the whole thing, and that is a hell of two hot bodies.

It might have been a decent movie, who knows? since 3/4 of it was lovingly shot in almost total darkness making it impossible to see all of the arty, golden mythical 300-like settings and characters. One longed for daylight . . .

Achei esse filme muito massa. Atuação do Superman (Henry Cavill) ficou boa. As cenas de ação achei ótimas e também curtir a trama. Não achei a história detalhada, mas a trama e cada personagem achei muito bom mesmo.

With a budget of 75 million dollars, with a biceps ala Henry Cavill, the film has made somewhat good job, making profit of 200 million dollars. The story: the film is inspired by Greek mythology, but it's somewhat adjusted to the director's vision that saw too much manga. According to the film, in the early universe they were immortals, only that they were split and they beat each other. Olympian gods have become winners, and the losers became Titans, who were huddled in a cage with bars stuffed into their mouths, growling forever. Only a plump king, Hyperion plans to release the Titans, so he organized an army of heracliens wearing masks like those of executioners inspired by the medieval dungeons and torture rooms and go to seek his bow Epirus, a super- weapon of mass destruction which is able to reproduce the molecular beam arrows with balls of mass and strength, able to make holes through walls. And so begins the story of Theseus and the mother of the devotees who often go on to bisericuta.Tezeu was driven by lower Zeus, disguised as an old man catches him there ..... invasion, Theseus is cornered and his mother is killed in Hyperion his eyes by telling him he looks like hell. And as in any genre film, Theseus and his friends are enslaved, but with a oracles-virgin, escaping the clutches heraclienilor. One of the deserting soldiers city, get to endure the ordeal that he suffered from Hyperion just to feel useful and he, kissing him in the ass. Zeus, meanwhile, tells the other gods that are not allowed to intervene. We arrive at the scene where Theseus grab bow and kills the Minotaur .... actually a masked man, then the final battle will take place at Mount Tartarus. Phaedra, although a virgin oracle, **** easily with lightning first man who comes along. The film is trying to tell you something, the idea of ​​free will, mature has several aftershocks, but a bit superficial forms. Ironically, although immortal, in the final battle, all gods die. Overview: the effects are pretty good, but sepia, as in 300, it's too exaggerated, designed to make you feel on the thirteenth century. Olympic gods are not those deities dressed in white tunics, dancing merrily on a mountain with clouds, but some models are ........ playboy calendar, dressed in golden armor, including Zeus which is a few tens of thousands years younger, virile and Athena, goddess of wisdom which alone do not give me the feeling, but a pitzi in playboy, which has less and babardeste with Zeus, who was his father. True, the scene in which Poseidon into the sea full of oil's millions, believing that if you bathe, Zeus will not suspect anything, though ... do not know if Greece were tsunamis thirteenth century. Actors John Hurt and Mickey Rourke in the role of Santa's were about the only ones who played pretty well. Rating: 4.5 indulgently.

As a mythological movie, this is really one of the worst disaster that I have ever seen, the actors seem more sci-fi soldiers than ancient Greeks, and the story is inane and lame, and not based on the real greek mythology. The action scenes are not bad, but the overall feeling is more like seeing a (mediocre) videogame that a good movie.

Com uma super performance de Mickey Rourke como vilão,e Henry Cavill convence também como herói. Recheado de bons efeitos especiais e cenas interessantes que entretem.

"Immortals" 10 Scale Rating: 6.0 (Decent) ... The Good: As expected, there were several great fight scenes and nifty effects. The gods were also well done and you paid more attention whenever they appeared. Mostly brainless, but solid movie when you're simply in the mood to see people duke it out video game style. The Bad: Hollow story with little imagination. It is two parts "300", one part "Clash of the Titans" and comes across very much like an intended combination of the two. Drags on a little at times and that should never happen during a movie like this.

loved this move, don't know what other people are watching when they put anything below 7, it is one of the better films I have seen and I watch a lot of movies, everyone should give this film a chance

The plot is moderately exciting, even if weakling and with some incongruence. But the real reason for see Immortals is how the story is told: A framework moving with slow-motion effect, where the landscape is a still life and battles of the beautiful dances.

I'm going to compare this Immortals to 300, I can't help myself. The film was marketed as 'from the producers of 300' so they can't blame me. If you want to watch a Greek mythology based film loaded with impressive visuals and special effects then watch Zack Snyder's. Don't get me wrong, director Tarsem Singh delivers some eye-popping visuals and fight scenes that rival those of Snyder but in truth the rest of Immortals really falls short of being anything close to a great movie. Soon to be Superman Henry Cavill looks the part as Theseus but I thought he was pretty wooden although he certainly wasn't working with an award winning script. The army rousing speech scene (think 'tonight we dine in hell' with Gerard Butler, no acting great either) made me pity the guy for having to read the lines. Unfortunately, Mickey Rourke doesn't fare much better either, his performance made even more comical by his venus fly-trap/playboy bunny headpiece. Seriously, what were they thinking? Immortals didn't even manage to hold my attention for the duration, which for me is almost unheard of, but hey, it looks good right.

Immortals is really awesome, but that's about it. First things first Immortals is not 300. True, it shares some producers and it’s a swords-and-sandals epic packed with tons of visual effects, but that does not mean it’s not its own creation entirely. Immortals particularly the 3-D version is an ambitious adventure in epic, myth-fueled filmmaking and in visual effects. The R-rated movie, which opens Friday, is prettttty. Problem is, it’s hard to tell if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Using brilliant strokes, director Tarsem Singh (The Cell) has painted an intricate canvas that combines the world of Zeus and the other Greek gods with that of the grimy, war-ravaged world of mere mortals. From the hyper-realistic deaths by sword to the pristine marble worlds of the heavens above, it’s gorgeous. The tale of Immortals is, well, old. Hundreds of years before the common era, a peasant named Theseus (played by Henry Cavill) is secretly trained by Zeus to be a great warrior. Theseus ends up leading his people in a massive battle against King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke), who is essentially at war with humanity and searching for the magical Epirus Bow to unleash a wave of destruction. The bottom line is that Immortals is a great battle epic well-acted, gorgeously shot, etc. which is cool if you’re into that sort of thing. It’s an interesting take on what can be done with 3-D visual effects: The things done with multidimensional sunbeams and heavenly battles are incredibly cool to look at if you’re into that sort of thing. Also, you get to see the Wrestler beat the pulp out of the next Man of Steel, who, for what it’s worth, is so cut that shots of his abs make the movie appear to be in 4-D. And that’s amazing if you’re into that sort of thing. What you don’t get is anything more than that. Immortals is excellent Friday-night popcorn fare that one day will look brilliant on your 70-inch flatscreen TV. It’s a cool step in the evolution of mythic storytelling with modern effects. Go see it with your friends. But don’t be surprised 10 years from now after many more evolutionary clicks in visual effects, which seem less revolutionary each time when Immortals looks more like 300 than ever.

Skimming the user reviews, I noticed more consensus than usual with "Immortals." Most reviewers seemed to agree that the film features stunning visuals with weak storytelling; what they disagreed about was the relative value of these qualities. Those handing out eights and nines tended to assert (or imply) that strong storytelling was unnecessary--possibly even detrimental--to an action film. Some claimed that criticizing the script was exposing shameful ignorance of what makes an action movie great: spectacle, gory spectacle, and really gory spectacle. Red-zone reviewers, on the other hand, claimed spectacle was enhanced by strong storytelling--or even, in some cases, dependent upon it. My rating identifies me as one of this latter group--though perhaps not as adamant as some. In part because I'm so charmed by the enthusiasm of green-zone reviewers ("more awesome than Zeus and Chuck Norris fighting to the death on a cloud of Ferraris"), I have genuinely tried to understand how good storytelling could be irrelevant to--or, more puzzling, could detract from--the visual and visceral thrills **** action movie, but my own viewing experience seems to prove the opposite. I simply can't think of a single action film that I would call great--or even good--despite weak storytelling. Which brings me to the truly inexcusable fault in "Immortals," which is that, in the character of Theseus, the filmmakers have strong storytelling already in hand. Through plays, poetry, and prose, modern filmmakers have inherited an array of fabulous stories about the gods, demigods, mortals, and other creatures of Greek mythology. Especially the great warrior-king! So why don't they use them? This is not pedantry; it's genuine bafflement about why filmmakers would ignore rich, dramatic, coherent stories, all thousands of years beyond the reach of copyright, in favor of thin, sketchy, incoherent assemblages that, to add insult, they have to pay for. I'm waiting for someone with Tarsem Singh's visual genius to tackle, say, THE BACCHAE, using Euripides's script. THAT would be more awesome than Zeus, Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, and Sol Invictus fighting after death--and after a feast of nectar, ambrosia, and soma in Valhalla--on a cloud of Lamborghinis and Aston Martins!

Story, characterisation and acting all have their limitations, but Immortals has an amazing visual style and flair typical of a Tarsem film. Very theatrical.

All style, but no substance. I really like Tarsem's visual vision for his films, but Immortals made absolutely no sense. The plot was jumbled, making the action awkward and ineffective. Disappointing.

If you like this genre, you should enjoy this film. It was too dark (literally and figuratively) for my taste and the spurting blood gets to be old very quickly. It says a lot about a movie when you are relieved to see the credits roll.

The performances were all pretty good with Mickey Rourke standing out for me; he has such a great screen presence. A very violent film with plenty of claret on show, which will please all the splatter-fest fans. It

The main story is the worst part of this film. This includes the predictable character arc, the forced romance, and the spotty acting. Mickey Rourke makes his villain as interesting and memorable as the hats he wears. The whole movie looks great, but it's a turd covered in glitter.

Immortals has some fantastic visuals, with stylishly brutal Ancient Greek action that out-300s 300 (if that makes sense). It also has some striking and creative visual effects, particularly in the way the gods of Olympus transform from their mortal to divine forms. Henry Cavill and Mickey Rourke make a convincing action hero and entertaining hammy villain respectively, and John Hurt and Stephen Dorff's gravelly tones add a little interest to the film's less than inspiring dialogue. The film's story, however, is all over the place both in terms of pacing and original ideas - stop-start-stop-start, hit-miss-hit-miss, until it finally strikes the right balance in an entertaining final act. Frida Pinto is left with very little to do as the only feminine presence in a world fuelled by testosterone, and it's a little insulting to the viewer's intelligence to believe that a celibate oracle would abandon her vow of chastity for the first handsome man she meets. The costumes and CGI-extended sets are striking, but also a little jarring - a little like watching Ancient Greece via the Star Wars prequels. Like his previous feature The Fall, director Tarsem Singh demonstrates that he has some interesting ideas, and a good eye for colourful, unusual visuals, but is not as skilled at bringing the whole package together as a full, workable film. Immortals has a lot to like, but it's too flawed and incomplete to make any real mark.

Good but not great. It's got a lot of things going on, and while not all of them work like they should, it can satisfy you if your a fan of movies like Clash of the Titans and 300. So if you like those movies you'll probably like this one, just don't expect greatness.

Was not epic nor was it worth watching again. It wanted to be 300 in the worst way, but it just never hit the mark. 300 had better actors, script and fight coordination.

Very poor performances, this important detail was ignored by management. very messy sound track, a story that exhausted so worn that this, in itself, the story has no validity mythological as personification the characters in a very unwise, especially the Titans. good: photography and visual effects.

Immortals was decent enough but it had the potential to be so much better. Henry Cavill did well as Theseus but Mickey Rourke could've been more menacing as King Hyperion. I mean he (Hyperion) was definitely a demented psychopath but he seemed to be more thoughtful and measured than off his nut which seemed more warranted but hey, I didn't direct this. The slo-mo highly stylized scenes of ultra-violence were done well, human obliteration looked more authentic than ever, and this is one of the film's elements I think worked well. My biggest disappointment was with the gods, they were played simply by normal humans with little to no special effects augmentation. If I were director, at a minimum, the gods would've been an impressive 20-ft tall then it's just discretionary elements from there but that's not what they did. The film is fine as a rental for a few bucks, but it's not a keeper.

This movie was recommended by a good friend, after having watched it i know that he was wrong. A movie without emotion and feelings. The story is one we've seen many times before, there's noting new and everything ends as you think it will. And the most important: a lot of things happen for no reason, like in most of the movies we see nowadays.

Acting is very disapointing, The script is incredibly corny and honestly is a little bit funny towards the end of the film because its that bad, Action scenes were good but lacked originality (think the slow-mo action scenes from 300). Their re-imagining of the gods didnt sit well for me at all. Overall, Its just another film trying to re-capture what 300 had and it fails to do so (FYI - it was produced by the producers of 300), Just another disapointing action film imo.

Let me begin by saying that I love "300", a film that has style, substance, plot, decent acting and engaging dialogue. Immortals has none of these. it is without a doubt the worst film that I have seen in many years. So bad that I have got off my lazy ass to sign up to this site to say just how bad it is... If you can only resist buying one thing that you really want this year then make damned certain that this is it! This film is a terrible waste of the material offered up by the original Greek mythology and could be a potential career killer for many of those unfortunate enough to be involved in it. The plot is a collection of ticks placed in boxes on a producers must have marketing list. Everything just happens because it must in order to fulfil this cliched criteria... Theseus must have a best friend, enter one cheesy Yankee(George Bush Jr could have done no worse in the role than this guy did) who with one terrible line of dialect becomes just that. The virgin Oracle soon becomes the ex-virgin Oracle after shedding her robes for a man she has only just met(Mr Producer picks up his pen and places a confident mark in the box for "Intimate relationship and romance"...). The sets range from bland brown rocky areas to more bland brown rocky areas with a couple of uninspiring and over used locals thrown in amongst these bland brown rocky areas. In 300 this was not an issue, they were holding one narrow pass against their foes for most of the film. In Immortals the whole of Greece has suffered an unfortunate makeover that would kill there tourist industry(and economy) overnight if it were real. Maybe the lead special effects designer has worked in the game industry, maybe on some post apocalyptic FPS as that is the grim vision of Greece that we are presented with here... The icing on this turd cake comes from the costume design, in particular that of the Gods. Camp shiny efforts for most of the film topped off by super camp yellow outfits for the finale. So camp that you would still stop and stare even if they were walking down Canal Street of Manchester in the middle of mardi gras weekend(ps: the street sign said something rather different for many years due to the unfortunate removal of the letters C and S...).

What could you expect of another Greek mythology hodpodge with heros, baddies and gods? well a lot of myths of course. Forget the limp story (do you really need screenwriters for this kind of film?) and cut to the high contrast slick sets and the battle mayhem. It's 300 with titans to spare.

Tarsem singh continues with his beautiful visuals in his newest film immortals. Immortals is a film that is very formulaic but there is a certain intrigue that Tarsem puts into the film. Although there are good things there are also some bad things . At some puts characters that are major roles do not get enough screen time for us to really get to know them. Also some characters that you feel you should know show up in scenes and it just feels wrong. However the finale does not disapoint because of Tarsem's visuals but he does fail to create a great film because of his formulaic story and poor storytelling at times.

Haha. What the **** Just simply, what the **** Don't get decieved by the posters ladies and gentlemen. Tarsem Singh's "Immortals" isn't exactly like "300", although it tries to be with it's rich visuals. It can never be like "300" because of the crappiest Greek God script I've seen in YEARS. What kind of ****ing story flushes down characters like **** and adds fight scenes every 5 seconds? Haha, the movie gave me a good laugh though.

Worth your time if you enjoy 300 or Clash of the Titans. The acting was below average but the action scenes were incredible to watch. These movies need to feel epic in scale else it fails. Who watches these movies for story? It delivers in epic!

Had high expectations! Set myself up for disappointment. Never again will I get hopes up for another film because of this one. It spoiled my appetite. I'll remain neutral from now **** matter how HYPED trailers look better than movie. Dry slow to a crawl direction and acting. Only one spectacular scene with Zeus fight

This film was good on a campy bad film level. The visuals were excellent and the fight scenes were well done. On a campy bad film scale I would give this an 8 or 9. On the scale where I rate actual films, I would give this a 3-4. If you are looking for a ridiculously violent film with nice visuals, you will enjoy this. If you are looking for a good storyline, well, keep looking.

The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king's mission. As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion's raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man's future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity.

Overall Movie: 3 Acting: 0 Storyline: 6 Notes: Special effects: 10 Wow, does this movie blow you away with it's epic special effects. In the mood for a good movie? NEVER WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the mood to have fun and ignore the bad acting and stupid storyline, and just enjoy the special effects? IMMORTALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does what it says on the tin, its an action movie, its a great watch and some great visuals, its never going to win an oscar, but it doesnt need to.

Visually stunning and a epic film of the 300 genre... Well performed and gory as hell! I was really suprised it was a 15 cert with so much blood, gore and violence! Well worth seeing.

Not a bad movie, but not good either. Full of cliche scenes and hillarious costumes, also the 3D effect wasn't the best (even commercials before the actual movie were way better). Let me just say that I had never fallen asleep (twice!) on an action movie before this one. Deffo worse than Clash of the Titans.

There is something lacking with the story line. The choice of words for the spiels were contemporary sounding. If it wasn't for the good visual effects, fight scenes and costumes--this movie could have been so dull. ****

I'm giving this a ONE instead of a ZERO for the great casting for the gods and their costume designers, who did a terrific job making each one identifiable, and the set designers, who made the top of Mt. Olympus look breathtakingly serene. Too bad the god's actions and fighting scenes weren't godly enough. I think this will be one of those films that would have been more interesting if Henry Cavill and Freida Pinto's characters never appeared.

"Immortals" is a decent film with nice visual flair and extravaganza but a muddled and boring plot ruins the movie. The special effects, the action, and the CG sequences are all great and dazzling but the story is very boring. The actors give a good performance is the script is good but the plot just ruins the whole thing as it is very uninteresting. Overall, Immortals is a great movie to watch for and entertainment fix. You will see some great action but don't expect it to stay in your mind forever as it is not an amazing movie. Breakdown for "Immortals": Presentation: 5, Plot: 4, Acting: 6, Script: 5, Lasting Appeal: 4, Verdict: 4.8 out of 10 "Average".

Immortals may not be like 300 but its a pure entertainment for Action lovers . Its a amazing Fantasy-Action film . Henry did good as Theseus . The best thing in this film was the Gods Portrait and their fighting ! it was awesome and really good . The film had the darker tone which i love most . Story could have been better . And i would like to see more fight between Gods and The Titans . Soundtrack was good . but the worst thing was Mickey Rourke as King Hyperion . He seems to be overacting all the time and wasn't cool at all .Effect was good but there were little eye-glowing at some point . So overall Immortals may not be better then 300 but its undoubtedly better then Clash of The Titans. Hope there would be a sequel with a better story !

Sincerely, this movie is simply disgusting. Top contender for: most fake sunsets (really bad lighting of the sets), ridiculous and over the top costumes (mask of Minotaur?), silly story (why Perseus is in that story at all, if story resolution does not depend on him?), bad acting and zombie like titans (really, is that 28 Days Later?).

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Immortals is what can only be described as a mess. The acting is poor, the plot is thin, dull and poorly executed and the script is the worst I have ever encountered in a profesional film. Even the films one the redeeming feature - the action - is often flat and dull. There are only two good things in this film. The first is the action scenes involving the gods which are exciting, dramatic, fast moving and satisfyingly gory but far far too brief. The second is the performance of Mickey Rourke as the evil king Hyperion who is easily the best actor in the whole debacle. The main con is the acting ability of all the other actors which makes a plank of wood look like Laurence Olivier. Theseus is played by the typical good looking guy who clearly feels that muscles are a fitting substitute for performance and John Hurt, who is a generally a very good actor, is woefully misused. It is difficult to point out a single actor who acted in any way which didn't seem forced and unreal. However, this may not be their fault as the characters are given the depth of a thimble of water by the script and I imagine it must be hard to work well with a script that is so badly written that it would embarrass a ten year old. Several times, throughout some of the "profound" speeches the characters gave I actually got goosebumps, not because it was such a poweful use of the English language but, because it was so cheesy that it made my skin crawl. This similarly applies to the sex scene which was so completely random and seemed shoe-horned into the film just because every film should have romance. This brings me to the plot which was so predictable that you didn't need to be Nostradamus to stay 3 steps ahead of it. It really does seem like like the creator picked up "Ancient Greece for Pre-School" at a book sale, scavenged some names from it and mushed them all together rather than having any clue about what they are famous for (Eg: Since when was Theseus a bastard? and wasn't Hyperion actually a Titan himself?) but lets just skip over my gripes as to how the film was unrelated to Greek mythology in almost every way as to most readers that will be rather boring. The final nail in the coffin was that the battle scenes, with the exception of those previously mentioned, seemed rather unoriginal, flat, and, dare I say it, boring. Never have I been less interested in the clash of two great armies. Similarly the pre battles speeches had none of the badass attitude or brevity of "Tonight We Dine In Hell" and none of the epic grandeur of the speeches in Lord Of The Rings', instead they just sort of fizzled out in banal nonsense. If I, sat safely in my cinema seat, thought that the supposedly rousing speech was terrible and that the person giving it had the charisma of plague victim then how can we be honestly expected to believe that it could inspire men to charge into almost certain death? Quite simply this film was terrible and I would honestly encourage you not to waste your money and if you really must watch it then buy it cheaply from a bargain bin.
