Immortals (2011)


[Awesome action falls prey to confusing story]

Immortals (2011)
IMDB-6.2
RottenTomatoes-37
RJG Rating-55

An evil king ,Hyperion, searches for the Epirus Bow , while a poor peasant ,Theseus plans vengeance against Hyperion..

Starring- Henry Cavill,Mickey Rourke,Freida Pinto
Director- Tarsem Singh

Immortals were heavily promoted by relating it to another stylized action spectacle -300...Even though Immortals fail to reach the formers standards ,it nonetheless is action packed...

Henry Cavill (Theseus) plays the lead and hes pretty much more of an action hero than a complete actor..But this could be since his role limits his capabilities...
Mickey Rourke as Hyperion is a disappointment and i felt he was not suited for the role..Likewise Freida Pinto too gave a stale performance...Luke Evans as Zeus was great...

The main issue with the movie is its story..Its completely different from the Greek mythology and any comparisons between the two are nonsensical...
The first half is a bit dragging but the fights that take place every now and then manages to keep the viewer engaged...The movie ends up a bit confusing towards the end..

Direction was average...Tarsem was able to recreate a stylized film which does remind of 300..Infact some dialogues felt like ripped out of 300 ("Their numbers count for nothing in the tunnel")..

The visual effects & the action scenes are the main highlight of the movie..Both reach their peaks at the climax...Such scenes are reminders of 300 ,but they seem inferior to it somehow..Maybe its because of the various times the director went over board with the visuals...
Special mention to the action scenes of the Gods..Those were brilliant..

Overall ,even though Immortals isnt a must watch, action junkies & fans of 300 will appreciate this movie..


Acting-3.5/5
Story-2.5/5
Direction-3/5
Action-4.5/5
Special Effects-4.5/5
