I like the Conan the Barbarian and other movies of that type, but I have to say this was horrible. No real story, I couldn't follow what they were doing and why. This coupled with massive amounts of grossly overdone violence left me cold. It bares little resemblance to actual Greek myths, so you won't learn much about them here. Glad I didn't see it in the theatre, I would have walked out. It was almost as bad as The Scorpion King.

If all you care about it pretty special effects and CGI, then by all means rate this film 4 stars or more. Excuse me if I put you into a stereotype box of "backwoods ignorant illiterate hillbilly moron with zero taste in anything and a deep hatred for thinking". This film is a condescending, insulting, mind-wasting junkfest. Story and plot is barely there. Talented actors/actresses are wasted and go unused...characters barely serve more purpose than the sets and CG...all in all this was the perfect example of big Hollywood's attitude that "if its pretty, and we put a ton in to marketing, people will eat it up no matter how crappy it is. Americans like what we tell them to like, because were filthy rich piggies and they are the mindless worms we eat". I haven't been so angry and insulted by a film...ever. Even Expendables 2 - also trash - had the decency not to take itself seriously or worry about quality or believability or even the laws of physics. And I got 30 minutes in and stopped it for being dumb. The immortals isn't just dumb, its a visual representation of the contempt and "superiority" the sociopath CEO's of JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo etc. feel at us non-billionaires.

I just watched the trailer and this move looks more annoying than anything. It immediately starts out improperly blending Greek and Christian Mythology. Greek Gods did not have a Kingdom of Heaven they were said to have lived on Mount Olympus. If you are going to write a move based on a particular religion or mythology keep it to that one religion and do not blend in other religions/mythology that are completely out of place.
