Richard Corliss, Time: WEAK "The pity is that Tarsem Singh's intelligence doesn't connect his cinematic eye to his narrative mind. The director's visual gift is like a brilliant retina, detached." (Read the full review...) 1,045 words, 11/11/11 Adam Markovitz, Entertainment Weekly: VERY GOOD (cg) "Director Tarsem Singh has no apparent love or patience for storytelling, but he is a visualist on par with Julie Taymor and Tim Burton." (Read the full review...) 362 words, 11/14/11 Scott Bowles, USA Today: MODERATE (cg) "...a cut above the wretched 'Clash of the Titans' remake but can't quite replicate the visuals of '300' or the sweep of 'The Lord of the Rings'..." (Read the full review...) 212 words, 11/11/11 Roger Ebert, RogerEbert.com: WEAK (cg) "...without doubt the best-looking awful movie you will ever see." (Read the full review...) 803 words, 11/11/11 Kat Murphy, MSN Movies: WEAK (cg) "Almost every shot gobsmacks the eye, but its impact stands alone, never carrying over to the next image, accumulating narrative momentum and meaning." (Read the full review...) 786 words, 11/11/11 James Berardinelli, Reel Views: VERY GOOD (cg) "...plays like the illegitimate offspring of '300' and 'Clash of the Titans'... while it represents a substantial improvement over the latter, it falls short of the former." (Read the full review...) 703 words, 11/12/11
Paul Brunick, New York Times: POOR "This jumbled epic of absurd coincidences and logical gaps can barely track its internal mythology.... an ugly, burlap sack of a film..." (Read the full review...) 275 words, 11/11/11 Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...pulpy fun that feels utterly ludicrous whenever it hints at more solemn aspirations. But that's okay. A popcorn movie has one goal, and that's to entertain." (Read the full review...) 331 words, 11/11/11 Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: FAIR "All the unimaginable ways to inflict a world of hurt are imagined here in frightful images... What's missing is the emotion that might have lifted the film and us as well." (Read the full review...) 800 words, 11/11/11 Kyle Smith, New York Post: MODERATE (cg) "Spectacularly silly? Yes, but at least it's spectacular." (Read the full review...) 717 words, 11/11/11 John Anderson, New York Newsday: WEAK (cg) "Overly computerized hooey with a sadistic streak." (Read the full review...) 307 words, 11/11/11 Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine: MODERATE "...veers between the genuinely striking and the strikingly generic." (Read the full review...) 636 words, 11/12/11 Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: WEAK (cg) "...without doubt the best-looking awful movie you will ever see." (Read the full review...) 803 words, 11/11/11 Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice: MODERATE "...has little on its mind but conveying the buzz of martial glory.... this is among the most extravagantly violent movies in memory..." (Read the full review...) 229 words, 11/16/11 Linda Barnard, Toronto Star: WEAK (cg) "...emphasizes heroics and bone-crunching violence in 3-D, with a splash of sexy time to lighten the mood and detract from the flaccid script." (Read the full review...) 635 words, 11/11/11 Rick Groen, Toronto Globe & Mail: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...fairly efficient in its operation, typically clean in look, and guaranteed to reach its destination with a minimum of fuss. Thrills are in short supply, but so are annoyances." (Read the full review...) 634 words, 11/11/11 Radheyan Simonpillai, Toronto Now: WEAK (cg) "...a film riddled with pompous speeches and characters as colourless and stiff as Greek statues. A little humour could have gone a long way." (Read the full review...) 185 words, 11/11/11
Mark Jenkins, Washington Post: WEAK (cg) "With its images modeled on Renaissance paintings, 'Immortals' looks shadowy and solemn, but its script is sometimes garbled and frequently silly." (Read the full review...) 409 words, 11/11/11 Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: WEAK (cg) "Grisly, gross, messy... a pseudo-arty melding of spatter film to the sword-and-sorcery genre." (Read the full review...) 511 words, 11/11/11 Ty Burr, Boston Globe: MODERATE (cg) "...simply the latest video game disguised as a film, and cut-rate post-production 3-D hardly helps. Just goofy enough to be more than a waste of time..." (Read the full review...) 495 words, 11/12/11 Stephen Whitty, New Jersey Star-Ledger: MODERATE (cg) "...if you want another dose of '300' -- but with more sadism this time, and a dash of ersatz Hieronymous Bosch -- then 'Immortals' is the film for you." (Read the full review...) 537 words, 11/11/11 Rick Bentley, Seattle Times: POOR (cg) "...a one-note story that never resonates either on a personal or heroic level. There might have been some leeway if the casting, direction and costuming weren't so ludicrous." (Read the full review...) 336 words, 11/11/11
Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice: MODERATE "...has little on its mind but conveying the buzz of martial glory.... this is among the most extravagantly violent movies in memory..." (Read the full review...) 229 words, 11/16/11 Josh Tyler, Cinema Blend: VERY GOOD (cg) "While other entries in the sword and sandal genre have tried to go big and ended up falling apart, 'Immortals' stays small and entertains." (Read the full review...) 687 words, 11/11/11 Sheila Johnston, Boston Phoenix: MODERATE (cg) "Mickey Rourke and John Hurt chew the CGI scenery as only old hands know how.... its main appeal may be to those who enjoy slo-mo exploding heads in 3D." (Read the full review...) 159 words, 11/10/11 Tasha Robinson, AV Club: GOOD (cg) "...it beats 'Clash Of The Titans,' particularly in the areas of intimidating villainy and actual Titan-clashing. Nonetheless, it isn't any smarter than its inspirations, just prettier." (Read the full review...) 450 words, 11/11/11 Alison Willmore, Movieline: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...openly aims to be the heir to '300,' and succeeds in at least being a reasonable facsimile that hits many (too many) of the same testosterone-driven beats." (Read the full review...) 937 words, 11/11/11 R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...exceptionally attuned to fundamentals of art and design... For style junkies, it's something of a gift from the gods." (Read the full review...) 798 words, 11/11/11 Radheyan Simonpillai, Toronto Now: WEAK (cg) "...a film riddled with pompous speeches and characters as colourless and stiff as Greek statues. A little humour could have gone a long way." (Read the full review...) 185 words, 11/11/11 MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher: VERY GOOD (cg) "There's a lot of cheek to 'Immortals,' but what makes it weirdly captivating is how nimble it is... It genuinely feels like the flight of dark fancy it is aiming to be." (Read the full review...) 664 words, 11/10/11

Peter Debruge, Daily Variety: MODERATE "...challenges auds to follow its bastardized version of Hellenic history amid a sea of chiseled abs, grizzled faces and digital set extensions." (Read the full review...) 772 words, 11/10/11 Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter: POOR "Thuddingly ponderous, heavy-handed and lacking a single moment that evinces any relish for movie-making... a drag in nearly every way..." (Read the full review...) 1,035 words, 11/10/11 Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: FAIR "All the unimaginable ways to inflict a world of hurt are imagined here in frightful images... What's missing is the emotion that might have lifted the film and us as well." (Read the full review...) 800 words, 11/11/11 Emanuel Levy, Cinema 24/7: MODERATE (cg) "...lacks a coherent story or even a unified conceptual design.... easily (and mindlessly) digestible, but also immediately and utterly forgettable."
