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.

Time Out

Tarsem's work is infinitely more exhilarating when he’s relieved of the need to be in any way serious. He should play dumb more often.

Rated: 3/5

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.

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 thought this movie was a lot of fun, quite violent and cruel at times, but it was closer to the real stories, and times.

Not a strong plot, but certainly plenty of violence. Held my interest more than I thought, likely the Greek mythology. The fantasy aspect was interesting.

Fails to follow any inkling of written mythology, chosing an alternative take towards a dark cinematography; so dark, the sun never shines and leaves you hurting where the sun don't shine. Did they forget to cast Apollo or pay their electricity bill? Slow and gloomy with no pace. More of a nightmare than a fascinating myth. Take away Frieda Pinto and it's down to one star.

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