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.

When Hyperion says of one character, "His pain has just begun,'' you know exactly how he feels.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Fresh

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.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten

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.

Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice
Rotten

This monumental tale of warring gods and men is a beautiful, dead thing, bereft of organic or kinetic life.
