Immortals (2011)

From the producers of 300

Synopsys

Years after the Titanomachy, the Titan Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) declares war on humanity. He searches for the Epirus Bow, a legendary weapon created by the war god Ares, which will allow him to free the rest of the Titans from Tartarus and take revenge on the Olympians who brought about their downfall. In accordance with ancient laws, the gods are unable to take a side in the war between Hyperion and humanity. It is left to a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill), chosen by Zeus (Luke Evans) and accompanied by the priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and a slave (Stephen Dorff), to protect his homeland and save the gods.

So, the producers of 300 are back, delivering yet another twisted tale... I can't fathom why the main character was named Theseus if this has nothing to do with the original Greek myths. From the looks of it, it can't even be compared to Clash of the Titans, not to mention 300. What do you guys think?

I always wonder why they don't make a film about Kratus... I mean, God of War is much better overall...

NEVER! God of War is already a movie on its own. Besides it's going to be heavy with stupid annoying unnecessary special effects like slo-mo and all that.

More pointless entertainment for the mindless pleb drones who'll probably drool buttered popcorns at the sight of the CG. Ugh.

You must be kidding me!!!

Wow when I first saw the title and began reading I thought this was the ultimate answer to the Has there ever in the history of mankind been a western produced movie, in which the Persians are the good guys? thread.

By the very producers of 300 too!!!

Alas, no. It is crap.

Same here.

It looks decent, not to mention the new god-awful Conan film that it's going to rival.

The new Conan movie might be good, but I guess it could at worst be as bad as the Clash of the Titans remake, but this movie will be at least as bad as 300.

No one can replace Arnold though...

Whatever, it looks like it'll be cool. I'll watch it for the action.

It is 3D by the way.

I am not interesting about watching half-naked men running around in 3D.

I myself thought nearly the same when I first saw the title ,But I didn't think Iranians would be good guys (unlike you). I expected a 300ish movie based loosely on another Greek Vs Persia battle (or War) that once again Greeks will heroically slaughter savage Persians !!! hopefully this time it is about a myth
I know it is looks like a phobia , But especially with all these political crisis about Iran ,I don't expect any authentic movie that will not portrays Iranians as bad guys to be built any time soon

The producers of 300 should be banned from ever making a movie again. It'll be another crappy movie. Just like 300 and Clash of the Titans.

Skyrim comes out the same day and for the following 4 month at least i have no intention of stepping outside my house. Suppose i could get the dvd release as that would be the next time i venture out.

Looks like it'll be complete bulcrap. Nothing like the awesomeness that is 300.

Nothing can replace Arnold tho

Another fantasy movie. However, as long as law permits it, they are free to keep on making fantasy movies.

Until Greece can afford to borrow money from Germany to make proper movies
