Immortals:this film destine to be mortal, and fatal

I love 300. I saw from the trailer that Immortals would be in 300 leagues. I was sooooo wrong.


First the story. Evil king wanted to find a bow to release the Titans, so he can control human, and wage war with the Greek Gods. In the process, he basically torture people in order to locate the bow. He also killed our Hero's mother. He became reluctant hero, saved a virgin oracle whom basically is the only one who can locate the bow. Evil king got the bow, release the Titans. Gods came and fight. Hero kills evil King. THE END.

... so I wished. The acting was bearable actually. Mickey Rourke was really chilling as Hyperion, the evil king. The protagonist also was quite good, he really reminds me of superman. The action was not too bad. More or less like 300.


BUT, the downfall......
the dialogue: cheesy, so cheesy that Pizza Hut 7 cheese pizza will pale in comparison. Everyone wanted to sound so philosophical that it become unreal.

the casting: I really love Zeus. With the moustach, he really looked "gaya", but casting Athena was ridiculous. He was supposed to be her father, but they look more like a pair of lovers...Euuuuu


the story: the hole in the whole story is so big that even a camel could not plug it. What was Hyperion building that he needed slave? He just wanted the bow. Why when Zeus battle the Titans, he only bring a few Gods: even those who go into gang fights know that strength is in numbers. (he should learn more from young and dangerous movie). why would He even bother to fight when in the end, he just pull the plug and buried the Titans? Why would the sidekick so loyal to the Hero? Why would the Helenites listen to him when they first see him?


the action: it looks ok at one point. 300 makes it looks stylish. But here, the slo-mo was overused that it became tedious.

the costume: I know the costume basically wanted to show the abds for others to see, but some of the Gods costume was ridiculous. Greek God which looks like a cock? Priestess who wore spring onion on her head? The head of Greek council who dress like a stage magician? come on....

only a guys whom had never watched 300 may enjoy this. Otherwise, just give it a miss.


ratings: 2 poink!
comments: illogical, cheesy. the only reason to watch this is most of the guys run around half naked, so one could enjoy ga-ga over their 6 packs abdomen.
