Review of Immortals (2011) by Tristan M — 01 Sep 2014

This movie is exactly what you get when you mix Troy with 300. It's mostly CGI like 300, it has the massive armies attacking the wall like in Troy. It's probably better than 300, but it's not as good of a movie as Troy, with most of the characters being pretty dull, some things just happening without explanation and other things being too out-of-this-world like.

The acting was nothing special, with some actors being pretty lame and ut wasnt helped by tge script. The action was pretty good, fast paced killing in the obvious style of 300, with plenty of gore and spraying blood.

The epic final battle in the last 25 minutes of the movie was awesome, I can give the film that, focusing on three events happeing simultaneously during the battle. #1: Preceded by a well said speach, the battle between the too armies in the confined tunnel through the great wall, a very hectic and cool fight, but it is hard to figure out what exactly is happening at times.

#2: The final duel between Theseus and King Hyperion, where neither seem to be gaining the upper hand until it ends predictably. #3: The coolest fight of the film: the Gods vs the Titans. The Gods slay the Titans with their weapons, and when ever a Titan would be killed it would fall in slow motion while the rest of the battle carried on as normal around it.

Both sides suffered loses, and when one would die it would be shown with plenty of over the top gore. But although that scene was really cool and amusing to watch, the rest of the movie wasn't as good, but at lest it got rid of the half people with the bull and goat heats like 300 had and replaced them with badass masks.

Clash of the Titans and Wrath of the Titans follow the same theme, but this one is far better than both of them.
