Best movie of this year hands down!

i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Absolutely Fantastic

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Loved the acting in this movie. If you do not try to make it fit into actual myths and history, you will save yourself a lot of grief.

The very first minutes are interesting, but soon the movie shows that it will be a waste of time and money. Why the scenario looks like a theatre stage? Why does Theseus fight like martial artists or Jedi knights? What the hell are those gods' bizarre golden helmets? Why it is so hard for Hollywood making films about Greek Mythology, which is much more interesting than their average action movie crap screenplays (a serious epic about Titanomachy could be awesome!)? Indeed, the film is entirely based in assumptions contrary to basic Greek mythology traits, such as the idea that the god may not interfere in human lives. As a matter of fact, there are obvious Christian or modern Western values mobilizing characters instead of ancient Greek ones. The films has many serious mistakes and just copy what all the other empty blockbusters do: excessive slow motions, generic motivation speeches, video game ultra- violence.

I'm getting so-o-o-o-o tired of progressives forcing their ideas of utopia upon everything, whether sacred or common. If the time setting for this story is supposed to be 13th century Greece, before Christ (B.C.), then I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER seeing dark-skinned people who are obviously from the African continent holding cherished societal positions such as Army commander or High Priestess. The frank fact of the matter is that any person not of Grecian origin was far more likely to live our their time in the Greece of that day as a servant or a slave if they weren't lucky enough to successfully pass through Grecian territory. So, it more than strains credulity to see a Philippine woman serving in such an honored position as High Priestess MUCH LESS a Hindustani ACTUALLY SERVING AS THE HIGH PRIESTESS while there was available a presumable Grecian woman serving as her DECOY!!!! This remarkably ridiculous idea ranks in terms of scale AND SMELL with the similar idea of having Duane "the rock" Johnson playing in the role Hercules! Truth is what it is. History was what it was. We wouldn't accept a white woman or an Chinese woman acting in the role of Rosa Parks in a recount of the tale of Ms. Parks so what makes these people think we want this dribble or, perhaps more to the point, that we could benefits from a lying proposition?!?!? I agree with the majority opinion of this movie. It was an unfortunate decision on my part to invest the time that I did to view until its end. For one of the rarest of times in my life I AM SERIOUSLY ASKING THAT MOST FUTILE OF QUESTIONS: how do I get back the last two hours??????????I suppose it should be needless to mention but I will anyway: 0 stars out of 10.

Immortals (2011): Dir: Tarsem Singh / Cast: Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Freida Pinto, Mickey Rourke, John Hurt: The title seems to address the fact that mortals are propelling onward while the so- called gods are getting their asses kicked. We are given a laughable plot regarding imprisoned titans and the gods are not suppose to get involved. It is certainly clear that a screenwriter was never involved. Director Tarsem Singh had a much better concept with The Cell, which contained exquisite visual effects. Here the effects are every bit as impressive but the screenplay is every bit as suspenseful as a episode of Romper Room. Henry Cavill plays Theseus who is like half god or some ridiculous crap to that effect. He witnesses his mother's murder then he goes about kicking ass. He must obtain a magic bow where arrows magically appear. Stephen Dorff plays his thief friend but if he was really that good then he would have stolen a better copy of the script. Perhaps this dread was about as good as it got. Freida Pinto is laughable as a Priestess who spews water into Theseus's mouth to keep him alive after a capture. She will bang Theseus and no passion outside our laughter will exist. Mickey Rourke is far too talented for this relentless bullshit. He plays the villain who seeks the bow, and lets the titans free. We can predict a massive ongoing fistfight between him and Cavill. John Hurt apparently plays Zeus's human disguise so that he can interact with mortals. This is not Singh's best moment. This film deserves no immortality, but a few cracks at it will a baseball bat would be fun. Score: 2 / 10
