Immortals

[Stout]

I was surprised not to see a thread on this. Well, give the movie a pass. Some really good actors that do well with the material they are given, but the script and execution on this film were both pathetic.

Plot Summary: Visionary director Tarsem Singh ("The Cell," "The Fall") and producers Gianni Nunnari ("300"), Mark Canton ("300") and Ryan Kavanaugh ("The Fighter") unleash an epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny in "Immortals," a stylish and spectacular 3D adventure. As a power-mad king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful.

The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king's mission.

As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion’s raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity.

They slaughtered the myth, or rather made up a new one. But, I enjoyed the movie and the actors did a pretty good job.

Watched this over the weekend.

When it started out, I was expecting to see Kirk Douglas come out ala 1960s gladiator movie because the cheddar factor was so high.

But as it went along it became tolerable mostly because of the cool fight scenes and special effects.

Yeah I was overall disappointed but it did get better as it went on.

And the effects were pretty good.
