7.5/10
I wanted to see this movie just because of how ridiculous it looked (in a good way) and it pretty much lived up to its billing. Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) certainly has visual flair to burn and Immortals is nothing if not always sumptuous to look at. Everything plays out as expected - the story is nothing new and it's got holes, but it gets the characters from point A to B; the acting is generally pretty good save Henry Cavill, who has the charisma of a mop; and the special effects are of course the highlight. My one complaint was that the movie was actually slower than I expected it to be, especially in the early stages, and the battle sequences are surprisingly brief. Nobody's coming to this movie for a history lesson, so let's get to the killing already!
