Where The Cell and The Fall both had varying degrees of depth, visual creativity, filmic flair, challenging themes and interesting stories, Immortals has none of the above. It is a real treat for the eyes, but there's no life or spark behind the visuals, and no real artistry. The plot is hollow, messy and unengaging, the 3D is unnecessary and the religious undertones don't make any sense. I wasn't bored, and I've seen far worse, but it's horribly lackluster, and that's coming from a Tarsem fan.

Even though I'm a sucker for Zack Snyder'esque fast-slow-fast aesthetics, Immortals is another gang rape of a mythology that deserves better. No wonder so many americans doesn't know shit, when Hollywood teaches them all the wrong things! This spectale is a farce of weird looking helmets and hats and the only thing good to say about this is Rourke who once again takes the money and run!

I went in with some epically low expectations, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed myself. It's by no means a great or even a good movie, but it is pretty entertaining. It looks amazing and had some great action scenes. Rourke is very cool as King Hyperion, Cavill is fine as Theseus, everyone else plays there parts pretty well. It's too bad the story isn't very good. There are no stakes because the God's save them whenever there is trouble and Theseus was a bit too powerful of a fighter.

If '300' and 'Clash of the Titans' were on par (debatable) then this would be slightly below. Props to Tarsem for effort, though. He tries hard (bordering on too hard) to make every shot visually interesting and he's a talented stylist. His cast performs blandly, except Rourke - who can't be bothered to act much at all.

Tarsem handles the style perfectly. The intensity of the gods really made this one worth while for me. I had a problem with parts of the story, but overall - a nice visual treat with great action sequences. Tarsem works this style much better than Snyder with 300. Also, Poseidon is a G.

The visuals, action sequences, and costume designs are fairly impressive. On the character/plot/dialog side though, it's a bit lackluster. Plus, any entertainment comes partially because all the bad moments are pretty laughable. The next time Tarsem Singh wants to make an action movie, he should leave out the drama and religious overtones, and just make a 2 hour long visually-spectacular action set piece.

Long ago (or "in Jewish Times" as a colleague of mine once referred to the period), human eyes were far less developed than they are today, rendering them only able to see what the early Canaanites referred to as the "Zach Snyder Spectrum" which consists solely of "silken breast swaddling" taupe, "sweaty pecs" gold, "sun-baked ass" bronze, and OMG MAMA'S HEAD HAS BEEN SEVERED crimson. After having witnessed the slaying several immortals, unsure if filmmakers understand meaning of "immortal"

Tarsem Singh is like one of those sidewalk artists who can paint you an aesthetically pleasing portrait or landscape in 20 minutes that's technically sound but devoid of any substance or real talent. There's scene after cgi scene of fancy costumes being paraded about and probably a full hour of slow-mo action scenes but everything is completely lacking in a soul or real interest shown by the film maker. The acting and script is a horrendous afterthought. Rourke phones it in all the way.

Tarsem will always hold a place in my heart for "The Fall," and his visuals here are as gorgeous as ever, but the story is lacking. It's overly long. It's greatest feat is making the trident awesome. I've always thought of it as a somewhat useless weapon (you throw it once and then it's gone?) but here it is the coolest weapon of all.

The ending, which singlehandedly moves the goalposts forward for the concept of the deus ex machina, is so goofy it sinks the movie's entire score. That said, there's plenty of cool moments leading up to it, and Mickey Rourke is awesome, a million times more entertaining than he was as the villain in Iron Man 2.

Usually the only thing a Singh movie has going for it is the looks, but this is his ugliest movie by far, and the script is god awful to match. If you enjoy a bunch of characters with no motivation running around aimlessly for a couple of hours, you're going to love this.

I'm sick of swords and sandals films ripping off 300. I'm sick of them saying gods are not gods and can die. I'm sick of not seeing anything because it's dark. I'm sick of grotesqueness forgotten after two minutes. I'm sick of great actors starring in these who don't give a shit because the writing sucks. Argh. The MacGuffin is a laser bow that releases the Titans from Tartarus. The Titans are not threatening giants but tiny whirling zombie-things. At least Mickey Rourke has a goofy helmet. Hah.

Nowhere near as horrible as I thought. Tarsem Singh's distinct visual style that draws from art- and theater-history, occasionally makes the movie gorgeous to look at, and the R-rated approach to mythology initially feels refreshingly in tune with the brutality of ancient fairy tales. But on the flip side the poorly written dialog (the low-point being the obligatory battle rally speech) and horrible third act takes its tole in the long run.

I would watch 'Immortals' again for auteur Tarsem Singh's bold visuals and magnificent production design. I wouldn't watch 'Immortals' again for its lacking, lame, dull-as-a-doorknob hero caught in the middle of an anciently generic 'Conan the Barbarian' story that dips its toe in Roman mythology for a few minutes worth of material before calling it a day.

Unsatisfying mix between Clash of the Titans, 300, and a french fashion show. Singh's style seems a natural combo with this type of story, but there simply weren't enough moments where he could go all-out with memorable stuff. The climactic battle was pretty damn awesome, but it's not enough to carry the rather lame story. And what's up with Rourke's villain helmet? He looks like a bunny with that thing on. And only Monty Python knights fear bunnies. Silly Rourke.

Actually it was pity Tarsem's visuals did not work. The story stank, the character directing did not work and the whole concept collapsed pretty soon you get into it.

Hyperion is trying to release the Titans by finding a mythical bow, and the Hellenic Gods train Theseus to combat him. It's Clash of the Titans with a simpler (bordering on banal) story but way better effects/action. The cast is large and impressive, but their talents are largely shunted to the background in favor of visual bombast. That visual bombast is a real treat though, with plenty of excellent battle carnage and sweeping vistas. A better movie than the much lauded 300.

The characters leave something to be desired, but it captures the insane, violent, breathtaking spirit of the Greek myths better than any film I'm aware of. The entire Stephen McHattie subplot was a disaster, but Luke Evans' conflicted asshole is probably my favorite film version of Zeus.

All of this filmmaker’s usual attention to creating images with a particular kind of, let’s say, baroque aesthetic (he might say Renaissance; one might also say kitsch), but in the service of yet another failed attempt by Hollywood to make something out of Greek mythology, in this case by creating an extremely well-worn narrative about a hero who leads an oppressed people to salvation. This director does make an effort to do things differently, but this is his least successful attempt.

Utterly idiotic movie filled to the brim with cringe-worthy dialog, unbelievably stupid plot beats, and zero understanding of anything regarding Greek mythology. The aesthetic is also ugly; it may have grandiose setpieces but the costume design is cheesy and cheap with none of the locales exuding any aesthetic beyond "Hollywood Greece." There's barely any action either, and what's there is poorly framed with the most dull, rote choreography imaginable and no attempt at even creating strategy.

For a budget of 75 mil, this has got to have some of the bleakest set designs I've ever seen in a movie of this caliber! It looks more like a summer theater production with some matte painted CG backgrounds. What it lacks in mythological accuracy, it certainly does not gain in any attempts of poetic license.

Enjoyable "modern" sword and sandals epic is far from the best of the post-GLADIATOR entries, but remains a colourful and endearing diversion (especially in 3-D); the star here are the attractive, blatantly CGI-d scenery and action sequences; with Rourke having a hammy good time in the shadows, you really need little else, though Cavill proves a solid and endearing hero. Good fun, if not especially memorable.

Another of zillions of 300 ripoffs -- which is already a pretty uninteresting flick --, mostly sustained by Rourke's presence. It has not aged very well -- PS3's God of War look more beautiful and entertaining -- but it also feels absolutely harmless and forgettable.

Well, there are two values in this movie. First, it takes an interesting stand on the relationship between Men and Gods. Second, there are some visually stunning scenes, good inspiration for Scion RPG games, if anyone else is interested in that. Apart from this, the movie is very lame. Uninteresting characters and conflicts, basically no drama and all combat.

Instead of as a film, this would work better as a video game cut scenes which we watch between levels. The visual look isn't a movie like and for me, it makes it uninteresting to follow. The acting is very robotic and because of it, this feels a high budget school project. I wanted to see this because of Henry Cavill. I thought that there are no bad movies from him... Wrong. The only good thing is Mickey Rourke. He is a great villain, but sadly he is alone.

An admittedly weak story with spotty acting, but I'm a total sucker for the visual component of this movie. Almost every shot in this movie looks like a beautiful paintings.

The wardrobe in this movie is stunning (albeit divisive, from what I've seen). The design for the gods in particular was truly inspired.

I have always been a fan of Greek Mythology. This movie takes what I love and adds a bunch of gruesome violence and epic battles to the mix for a very fun and stylistic movie. I thought the idea of the bow was a very cool relic to go after and the threat of the Titans being released added some tension to the movie. Mickey Rourke was a great bad guy and Henry Cavill is a good guy to be reckoned with. Everything looked so beautiful in this movie, even the gory parts seemed like art. Very fun!

Like Singh's The Cell Immortals is a visual spectical that is can be utterly marvelous but lacks any other substance. The acting is terrible, the plot is downright stupid in parts and, surprisingly, sometimes the sets are pretty bad too, clearly being on relatively small sound stages. That said there are moments of visual brilliance but Singh still hasn't landed a film that's more than just spectacle.

Basically it's a long boring slog, then there is one cool visual effect in the whole movie and it is repeated over and over again for about ten minutes, followed by more boring slog to the end. Who are these people? Where are the places they keep naming? Where is this wall and why is it important? Why should I care about any of the people on screen? No answers to be found to any of these questions. For a stylised sword and sandal epic of far superior quality, watch Spartacus (the TV series).

The action would be considered ridiculous to anyone who doesn't play the goriest games on the planet, it's worse than 300 at times in terms of bits of brain displayed. The mortal combat is pretty solid (the slow-mo isn't frustratingly overdone), but the moments with the gods are sometimes a bit too much (their outfits are far too flamboyant, even for ancient super-heroes). Might as well stop beating around the bush, someone please push out a God of War movie.

Yeah, on visual site this look like "300" - just ok. But all interesting what I saw is in the screenplay. On the one hand Hyperion is a tough, bad son of a bitch who fights for freedom from the hands of the gods. On the other hand we have handsome Theseus who struggling to keep the dominance of the gods. Who do you support? Reason loses in the struggle with obedience and injustice.

The only thing worth watching is the battle between the "gods" and the "titans".
