Movie Review: Immortals


Brief Summary - A bastard stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) is selected by Zeus to lead an army against bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his vicious army. The evil that Hyperion threatens to unleash endangers all of mankind and the Gods.

Rating - on a scale of 1 to 10 Immortals is a solid 7.8 !

Movie Strengths - IN YOUR FACE ACTION, strong lead actor and  appealing story-telling.

Movie Weaknesses - minor plot hiccups & Luke Evans is a wimpy, thunder-less Zeus...FAIL!

Final Thoughts -  I honestly think the fight sequences in this movie are bloodier and better crafted than 300! Overall, this film is suited for die hard action fans, Greek mythology geeks and carnage cravers ONLY ...This movie is not very emotive and the love interest is not developed so you should taper your expectations.
