Power-hungry King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his ruthless army march across Greece, leaving burned-out villages and the corpses of the innocent in their wake. Hyperion's goal is to find the long-lost Bow of Epirus; with this invincible weapon, he can cast the gods out of Mount Olympus and become master of the world. 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.

Critics Consensus

The melding of real sets, CG work, and Tarsem's signature style produces fireworks, though the same can't be said for Immortals slack, boring storytelling.

It's handsome, but it looks as if the entire film was shot in a giant spray tanning booth. Kind of fun though.

Overall, Immortals is a pretty decent popcorn flick. Will it stand the test of time? Probably not, but the provocative special effects will leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Grisly, gross, messy - and I'm not just talking about Mickey Rourke's table manners

Deep Focus Review

Entertaining and at times exciting, there’s always something visually interesting onscreen, but the film is not a brainy experience by any means.

Rated: 3/4

...Singh is a good match for todays CGI uproar, and 2011s The Immortals gives him something worth chewing on; Greek mythology filtered through Hollywood moonshine...

Rated: 3/5

The film is fast-paced and the dialogue doesn't make your ears bleed... For incidental pleasures like these, I'm willing to forgive a swashbuckler a great deal of heterodox stupidity.

Arturo D Aburrida 🙄🙄🙄 de las peores cosas que te pueden dar para divertirte 🙄🙄 Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Georgan G Not a strong plot, but certainly plenty of violence. Held my interest more than I thought, likely the Greek mythology. The fantasy aspect was interesting. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Guy B Fails to follow any inkling of written mythology, chosing an alternative take towards a dark cinematography; so dark, the sun never shines and leaves you hurting where the sun don't shine. Did they forget to cast Apollo or pay their electricity bill? Slow and gloomy with no pace. More of a nightmare than a fascinating myth. Take away Frieda Pinto and it's down to one star. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Mark B The cgi was so bad. Acting poor and script awful. It was boring and long and made little sense. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Shay C Neat little action movie. That's about it, but that's kind of all it needs to be. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Griffith J Visually striking with some of the most insanely cool slo-mo fights I've seen. The set/costume designs are vibrant. Yet it can't come together to make it all work. Executing the screenplay is dull & uninspired with bad acting. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
