Tarsem Singh is one of those divisive directors whose films you either love or wish he would take up Nascar racing. Meanwhile, Zeus(Luke Evans) warns his fellow gods not to directly interfere in the lives of mortals, but if they still want to mess with their heads behind the scenes, be his guest. Theseus(Henry Cavill) has problems of his own, what with an invading horde on its way and he and his mother(Anne Day-Jones) being relegated to second class refugees, just because nobody knows who his father is. You know, the one with Hyperion(Mickey Rourke) using a magic bow to free the titans and ruining everybody's day. "Immortals" starts with the virgin oracle Phaedra(Freida Pinto) having nightmares. There were maybe flashes where you could glimpse a cohesive idea that desired to form, but it never even got close. Even the acting, which is NOT 300's strong suit, is worse here than it is there. It's nowhere near as fun, it's not superior in any technical category, it's harder to tell what the fuck is going on. There are maybe two fights in Immortals that last for longer than 30 seconds, even with all that slow-mo stretching the runtime, and neither are filmed as well as the ones in 300. My issue is that it only exists to do what 300 did, yet it does all of it so much worse. Hell, if enough people rip an idea off over a long enough period of time, in movies, we call that a genre. I can handle Immortals doing what 300 does. And Immortals doesn't give me the vibe that anyone did). But someone involved somewhere has to want more from their movie than that. (Don't get me wrong, I know that the real motivation behind both these, and of any other studio film, is money. The 300 movie exists to be an adaptation of the 300 comic book, the Immortals movie exists because the 300 movie made money. I'm actually quite fond of historically-set mythology films, but I don't believe the problem with Immortals isn't the setting or the genre, it's the motivation behind its being made the way it was. Rating: R (Strong Bloody Violence|A Scene of Sexuality)Įveryone talks about how Immortals is a 300 ripoff, and don't get me wrong, it absolutely is, but I haven't yet seen anyone talk about how it's also a bit of a God of War ripoff. A stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) heeds the words of the sibylline oracle (Freida Pinto), who convinces him that he is the key to stopping the bloodthirsty king.
