I think men went in this movie expecting 300 part 2... sad they not taking it for what it is, a decent movie based loosely around greek mythology with decent pacing, nice use of 3D and good action in their own scenes.

Comment endorsed by Archer

Again I just think it comes down to expectations. I just wanted a good entertaining movie and for me it was that and a lil bit more. Or at least stop comparing it to other movies that are in the same vein.

Wyatt I see screeners out for it if u wanna take a chance on those.

And Redfish I saw a ton of fights what movie were u watching?

Yes the fighting was good, threw in some MMA etc. but don't get me wrong with the fights it was brutal. I'm talking about the sequencing of the movie. I was not comparing this to 300, don't care who produced it and what not. This movie despite it being ok, had great potential to really hit hard but lacked that true waw factor!!!

Good fighting beats 3D any day but they did not let it flow, hence I was bored and at times a lil confused as to the sequencing of the scenes ( I dunno, might just be me). Yes the star was a beast!!! but the movie left me with the ok that is how d movie done?

They sizing up for a sequel, who knows

Pacing didn't bother me really. It was just literally one thing leading to another.

I watched this and I must admit it wasn't so bad.
however it wasn't so good either.
The level of violence and action sequences were amazing. I'm not even gonna dare compare this movie to 300 because boy the action was awesome (kinda reminded me of Ninja Assassin for some strange reason but that's a good thing) The costumes and sets were really nice, as well as Henry Cavill's gruff demeanor. Without a doubt he is totally suited for the role of the man of steel.
My only fault was a major one. I like movies with action yes, but I can watch a movie with an interesting story more and honestly the story in Immortals did not challenge my brain so much. I'll actually got out on a whim and say that my primary motive for watching the movie was for the violence and sexual content (we're adults, I'm not putting my shoe in my mouth Just being honest)

In my humble opinion the movie does not suck as some gatters say, but it's far from being good as the heavy hitters that came out earlier this year.

3 out of 5

yea thats what i've been saying... i think this movie is all about expectations yes

i didnt go in with any expectations.. so i saw the movie for exactly what it was... yea it was cool but could've been better...

Archer · « **Reply #50 on:** December 06, 2011, 05:03:59 PM »

Same point, the trailers made it clear what we would be getting. By now we could tell when a trailer is holding back on details or just throwing everything at you.

But w/e some loved it, some hated certain parts of it but one thing we agree on is that it was entertaining.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #51 on:** December 06, 2011, 07:07:32 PM »

I for one am shocked at how someone could hate this movie.

Unless they were blindfolded for two months prior to release and never saw a trailer. lol

Once you took in any of the marketing, you should have had a very solid idea as to what you were going to get!

Action first. Story Second (if at all)

^^ i dont think anybody said they hated it doh...

most of the negative comments said... yea it was good but.. could have been better...

dont think anybody say the movie was garbage or anything

Archer · « **Reply #53 on:** December 06, 2011, 07:51:05 PM »

To clarify I really meant "some ppl hated certain aspects of it".
