Review of Immortals (2011) by Sauerkraut — 12 Nov 2011

Well, I am disappointed. The only colourful person is Mickey Rourke, all other actors are just boring.

And the design is simply annoying - the armor is made of plastic, the helmets of the gods are ridiculous, and you always feel that the movie has been completely made in a studio or designed by computer.

OK, in the end the titans get sliced, smashed and choped in any possible way and here and there is some nice cruelty and a few naked breasts in 3D, but there are no memorable highlights. For example the scene before the final battle, where Theseus makes his speech to encourage the army. He just says some shallow blablabla and the people start grunting to hide he is only talking rubish. If you compare this to other blood, gore and iron movies like Braveheart, Gladiator or 300 this Theseus is just a plain schmock.

I have to give it 5 points because my girlfriend insists - she liked the nude boys and one of the actors played in Twilight.
