"Simply put, I've never seen anything like the violence in Immortals," writes John Wigler on mtv's "Splash Page." "It's some of the most beautiful violence I've ever witnessed on the big screen." Beautiful violence? I'll let other reviewers tell me what that's supposed to mean. The violence is worse than 300 with people being killed in almost every possible way and many that are impossible. This film is insidiously violent and includes several scenes with female breast nudity including a sexual scene. Women are basically here for the sole purpose of having their virginity taken from them. Basically, you've got good guys and bad guys and the two are going to fight. There is not much resembling a plot here. The problem is that, while 300 had a decent script to go along with its brilliant visuals, Immortals relies solely on its visuals to entertain. Immortals is a silly, very graphic film trying to mimic 300's success. Violent, bloody, hateful, misogynistic, and impossible to recommend except for occasional freeze-frames to be studied in film art class. But without any redeeming message, all of those qualities come off as gilded foil wrapping on a spoiled blood sausage. The film just looks fantastic throughout. There are some impressive action scenes, some interesting special effects, some novel artistic interpretations of Greek images. Heroes are directionless, enemies' motivations are murky, and every scene seems to exist only to bring things inches closer to The Big Battle. While many will complain that it doesn't adhere to Greek mythic tradition, the real problem is that the writing duo can't make us care for any of the characters, and can't figure out what message (if any) the film should convey. The film's biggest problem is with its script. What they didn't do is make it worth watching. They brought what I expected, and made the film worth looking at. On 11.11.I went to see this solely for the involvement of director Tarsem and costume designer Eiko Ishioka, to see what these visionaries would bring to a swords & sandals action fantasy.
