Legendary?


Immortals (2011)

Directed by Tarsem Singh this film stars Henry Cavill, Freida Pinto, Mickey Rourke and Stephen Dorff. A young man is selected by Zeus to lead the fight for humanity against an evil king.

Although set in the world of Greek mythology this film only takes very loose inspiration from the legends and crafts it's own story. The plot of the film is nothing amazing and while it hints at some ideas on faith it never really hammers out a clear point. Visually the film is pretty impressive taking it's cue from Renaissance art but some of the props are pretty obviously rubber made which is a bit of a let down in terms of quality.

3/5
