 "While other entries in the sword and sandal genre have tried to go big and ended up falling apart, 'Immortals' stays small and entertains." |

 "...feels all too much like it's simply going through the motions.... 'Harold & Kumar's' heart is in the right place. Now if only they'd found a way, as they did with the previous films, to also make it funny." |

 "Not a bunch of great characters in a weak script. Not a good idea with nowhere to go. Not an advertisement for some upcoming franchise connection." |
