Review of Immortals (2011) by Rynocirator — 13 Nov 2011

I would like to start off saying that I, as a fan of Zack Snyder, felt like this movie was going to be a knockoff of 300...and it was but in a good way. In many aspects I feel this movie has knocked 300 down a notch especially in the visuals.

All of the fight scenes were insanely awesome and well done. Tarsem also utilized 3D better than most movies that support it. For the people that are fans of the art style and love blood and gore, this movie will not disappoint.

The acting was okay. Mickey Rourke was the best of the crew and was a real ball buster. The story strayed from the written in stone mythology but its forgivable because the gods were insanely awesome.

The last fight, which lasts roughly 20 mins, is the best bit of cinematography I've seen in a very long time and made me say **** YES!" the whole time. Pretty much the bottom line is if you like violent gory fantasy war movies don't let the story and acting stray you away, its not bad enough to make you regret watching it despite what other reviews say.

I would watch it at least 2 or 3 more times if I were given the chance.
