Very best movie i ever watch
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
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.
I'll give it a 3 for the stunning visuals and the final scene that I liked a lot, but that's pretty much what was good about the movie.I will not waste time describing how the whole story has little to do with Greek mythology, as plenty other reviews have done that already.Instead I'll focus on the fact that you watch this movie expecting some popular characters (or gods) to appear on screen. And you know pretty much how these characters were and what they did. Uh oh! For example bring to mind Thor. You at least imagine a norse looking warrior, quite mascular wielding a hammer. And you expect the Thor you'll watch will be more or less like that. You certainly don't imagine him like a hobbit with hairy feet throwing shurikens at his foes, right?Come to this movie, and see the Greek gods unlike anything you could ever imagine. Zeus, the father of all gods. Typically an older looking god, depicted with his nice full white beard, master of lightnings. Not at all. He is a slender very well shaved blondie, with a shiny golden armor that looks like he borrowed it from some elf like Celeborn or Elrond in Tolkien's LoTR.And how does he do his battles? Swinging his fire chain/whip. (Ghost Rider?)Athena? Her aspis (shield) and her owl were her symbols. Pretty much like Thor's hammer. Nope, she's ninjaing her way through enemies with her two ...sickles.Oh and the Titans are not of titanic proportions (giants) at all. If you remember the goblins from LoTR...well, that.All this has nothing to do with the actors who are doing all they can, but with whoever decided to create mythology from mythology.The quotes are unmemorable and rather used a lot in many movies.To conclude, I found the movie very unimmersive and untrue to the theme it advertises. Please Hollywood, I can understand changing stories a bit, but completely ruining characters is a bit too much.
I did love the movie 300 when it came out and I will probably still love it now. There you had epic battles and very nice filming. So when Immortals came out I was thrilled. I thought it would be at the same level as 300 but instead it's a complete failure. No epic battles except a little one here and there but never with the same power as in 300. But that aside it's just the story that isn't good. If you we're looking for a good movie about Greek mythology then this isn't the one. The story is very slow and uninteresting. Several times I found myself checking out how long I had to endure more of this movie. That's not a good sign. The end couldn't come early enough for me. So besides an okay filming the rest isn't just worth watching.
Really, just honestly not my thing.Not sure what I was expecting,but I wasn't let down, or pleasantly surprised, either one.Being a Greek Mythology aficionado, I was hoping for more from this movie and just didn't get it.The only redeeming quality of this movie, for me, was the over-the-top, carnage.That made it worth agonizing through, but that's about all.If you don't mind a slow pace, mediocre (at best) acting and you're not expecting a lot, you might enjoy it.
