Immortals. A movie brought to you by the producers of 300. Ergo, this movie was made to capitalize off of the immense success of 300. Yes Gerald Butler isn't in it. But we have The Tudors Henry Cavill! Yes the majority of the backdrop of this movie was entirely CG, but come on. What movie today isn't puffed up by one of us nerds behind a computer?
If you've seen one "ancient times" war movie, you've seen them all. A peasant that has conveniently been overlooked by his village even though he is handsome, built like a tank, and can basically whoop wholesale ass at any given moment. Has a nice serving of destiny before him and gets the most easiest "virgin priestess" sex since The Scorpion King.
I never understand movies that have some nobody come along and lead a generals army and become this pretty boy's bitch. I mean, Theseus (Cavill) basically showed off his skills only once to his future comrades in arms. Lost a WMD that ended in the hands of King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke). And, banged the only woman who could give us a heads up as to what's to come (which power she conveniently lost after she had a nice roll in the hay with our hero). And yet, when 900 fight 90 billion castrated foes and a very lame inspirational pre war speech, this guy becomes a God and cheats death.
Well, he not only cheated death, but he cheated me... out of a solid 17 bucks I spent to see this movie in 3D. Save your cash... watch 300. Because, that's what this movie tried to be.
