God Zeus ( Luke Evans) has faith in a mortal stonemason Theseus (Henry Cavill) which is why he believes it is Theseus who will put an end to the tyranny of King Hyperion ( Mickey Rourke) who seeks immortality and reign over the whole ofGreece.
The cruel King can do so only if he attains a magical bow. To reach the bow, he must first catch hold ofOracle Phaedra ( Freida Pinto) who can foresee future.
Immortals begins well. The narration, characterization, cinematography, special effects which follow keeps you interested too. However the climax doesn't live upto the build up. Biggest flaw being...the story keeps getting weaker. As a result, the action seems repetitive, battle scenes futile.
Henry Cavill has worked on his body well but needs to work on his dialogue delivery and voice modulation. He barely sounds inspirational when he tries to convince a troop to go on war against the evil king. His performance dilutes the intensity of the war drama in the first place.
The Gods seem powerless and helpless themselves which is another put off. The blood and gore, brutal deaths, men getting hammered in their private parts, women being roasted as a punishment...it all just gets on your nerves eventually. In the end you don't care about the plot, who is killing who and what is happening as the dirty violence takes over everything including the plot of the film.
Swords, battlefields may amuse the men but lack of a good story makes the wars look futile and thus the making of this film.
If you like blood and gore, Immortals is your film. If you don't, watching the sheer brutality would be an immoral experience
