Power-hungry King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his ruthless army march across Greece, leaving burned-out villages and the corpses of the innocent in their wake. Hyperion's goal is to find the long-lost Bow of Epirus; with this invincible weapon, he can cast the gods out of Mount Olympus and become master of the world. A stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) heeds the words of the sibylline oracle (Freida Pinto), who convinces him that he is the key to stopping the bloodthirsty king.

Critics 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.

The cgi was so bad. Acting poor and script awful. It was boring and long and made little sense.

Neat little action movie. That's about it, but that's kind of all it needs to be.

Visually striking with some of the most insanely cool slo-mo fights I've seen. The set/costume designs are vibrant. Yet it can't come together to make it all work. Executing the screenplay is dull & uninspired with bad acting.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I genuinely really love the visual style of "Immortals." Unfortunately, I can't say much else to praise the movie. I felt the story felt flat and the characters weren't as interesting as the mythology promises. The movie has some decent action and fights but since I wasn't invested in the story, I just didn't really get into it. I can see why the movie was marketed by the producers of "300," as it does have a slick visual effect-heavy style that is similar to that movie. Overall, the movie falls flat for me and despite some true visual flair, it is just a boring movie with no real excitement for me.

This movie is worthwhile fun as well thoughtful provocation around matters greater than 'good guy' vs. bad guy. Mackey Rourke brings dimension to his villainous character, something he wanted to do in Ironman 2 but was disallowed. Some inconsistencies stand out, such as the use a relatively contemporary vernacular by some characters and an affected stage-like English accent by others. The main distraction for me is The story having the hero Theseus dropping his magic weapon twice within minutes on the screen. Both fumbles occur just he begins ferocious battle scenes. It's absurd! Stephen Dorf is great in his supporting role; he seems to be having a lot of fun and that's Infectious for the viewer. I enjoyed this movie, though I think it assumes too much knowledge of the Greek gods on the part of the viewer. But it's plays the story with a straight face and that drew me in. Enjoy.

It's handsome, but it looks as if the entire film was shot in a giant spray tanning booth. Kind of fun though.

Overall, Immortals is a pretty decent popcorn flick. Will it stand the test of time? Probably not, but the provocative special effects will leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Deep Focus Review

Entertaining and at times exciting, there’s always something visually interesting onscreen, but the film is not a brainy experience by any means.

Rated: 3/4

...Singh is a good match for todays CGI uproar, and 2011s The Immortals gives him something worth chewing on; Greek mythology filtered through Hollywood moonshine...

Rated: 3/5

The film is fast-paced and the dialogue doesn't make your ears bleed... For incidental pleasures like these, I'm willing to forgive a swashbuckler a great deal of heterodox stupidity.
