Immortals

Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto, Luke Evans

Directed by Tarsem Singh

Rating: C+

King Hyperion (Rourke) is raising hell throughout Greece, on a mission to seek the legendary Epirus bow. If placed in the wrong hands, the Epirus bow is one of the most powerful tools to win a battle. Theseus (Cavill) is just a poor young man and when he loses his mother at the hand of King Hyperion, he is determined to get back. With the help of the Oracle (Pinto), Theseus steps up to fulfill his role that Zeus (Evans) hoped he would to fight Hyperion's army.

"300", "Clash of the Titans" and "Immortals". While the latter two have more in common, those three are all similar in nature. They all have a big fight against an enemy with a bigger advantage: whether it's a bigger army or a fight against the titans. "Immortals" was a decent movie but was an average fit in the old Greek myth category.

"Immortals" did capture viewers attention at least and was not boring. However the main thing that saved this movie from being called a bad movie was the choice of actors. For women at least, Henry Cavill was the best part of this movie. Cavill is the reason why I would even call "Immortals" better than "Clash of the Titans". Even the Greek gods Zeus, and some of his sons, weren't all that bad looking.

The plot could have been more interesting. Zeus was a pretty angry character, who refused to help the mortals and it was a fatal mistake if any of his children went to their aid. After watching "Immortals" I couldn't look at Joseph Morgan the same way again when watching the CW show "The Vampire Diaries". Morgan's character, Lysander, was weak and a traitor. Not very flattering when he plays bad boy Klaus on the CW show.

I would definitely recommend renting this movie to watch with the girls, if they don't mind some gory scenes. The male leads are definitely worth watching this for. As for guys, I think they should give it a shot but watch with no expectations of it being amazing.
