Review of Immortals (2011) by Keith T — 08 Aug 2014

For me, this was a rather disappointing movie. I was expecting something good from the producers of 300, but I instead got a cliché fantasy action movie with a grievous misunderstanding of Greek mythology.

The characters are all terribly bland, to the point that not even the voice of John Hurt can make things better. If there's two things that this film has too much of, it's the special effects and chiselled, shirtless men.

Seriously, I can't see one character who looks like a realistic human being. The film doesn't really have a lot of colour, and a lot of times, the movie looks either gold or brown. The fight scenes are arguably the best part of the movie, but they seem really incredibly tame, mainly because there's almost no blood whatsoever.

If you want a good fantasy action movie, there's plenty of them out there, and this movie isn't one of them.
