Without any narrative heft, these sights don't last in the mind much longer than they linger on screen. And yet they thrill in short-lived bursts that Singh doles out carefully, keeping pace with the audience's appetite.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
When Hyperion says of one character, "His pain has just begun,'' you know exactly how he feels.
The same hyperstylized, comic book-come-to-life approach that created an invigorating experience for viewers of 300 elevates Immortals above the level of a Clash of the Titans knock-off.
The posters read "From the Producers of 300" and, like Zack Snyder's film, Immortals has little on its mind but conveying the buzz of martial glory.
This monumental tale of warring gods and men is a beautiful, dead thing, bereft of organic or kinetic life.
