Inspired excess? - Immortals review by PR
Watched it twice and I'm still not sure whether to like or laugh at this film. Has all the elements of a "naff" distorted mythology action movie but is somehow captivating. The darkness and unusual muted colours it is filmed in are mesmeric and, surprisingly, the well-over-the-top costumes of the Gods are somehow convincing - as are their antics and prowess. The violence may seem exaggerated, too, but I guess war was not sanitized in ancient Greece, contrary what we may be led to believe by Hollywood and the censors.

Nice but dull - Immortals review by sb
FILM & REVIEW After Tarsem brought his stunning visuals to The Cell and The Fall it was only matter of time before he turned his eye to Greek Mythology. Playing fast and loose with conventional tales this has Theseus (Cavill) who is chosen to take on evil King Hyperion (Rourke) who intend to release the Titans using the Bow of Eperis. Theseus is a protege of Zeus (Evans) whose rule states that the Gods cannot interfere in the ways of man - even though they do it all the time. Theseus is assisted by the Oracle Phaedra (Pinto) as they all head for the final showdown at a Hellenic fortress. As you would expect it has some superb visuals but by gum it’s dull. The plot plods along in a very ponderous way leaving you groaning Get on With It and although the final battle is well staged it’s quite a slog to get there - 300 it ain’t. Cavill does his normal oak tree turn and Rourke gives the imprssion he’d rather be elsewhere. John Hurt pops up briefly with his usual dignity and Pinto is a drop dead gorgeous as always but you really need a bit more than the visual flourishes - not helped by the Greek Gods all dressed as if they have been to a very ostentatious Gay club. So for the visuals for not much else - 3/5
