IMMORTALS

What a GREAT way to spend another rainy day in Taipei....   watching IMMORTALS in the big screen!!!   it was worth every penny and every effort from navigating through the rain....   ADD this to my list of FAVE movies for 2011 - and Henry Cavill as a certified HUNK and leading actor...  always knew he would fit right in on the big screen.....

Knowing that this is from the same creators of the movie 300 - one is certain to expect Great Visuals and Great Action Sequences....  well, IMMORTALS has all that and so much more....  not as dark as 300, especially the sequences in Mount Olympus, where Zeus and the other Gods (Athena, Poseidon, Ares, etc..) discusses what's going on down below...  this world is very Pierre et Giles in looks and feel...  colorful, sparkly & sensual...   not that the scenes below are not sensual - it was that but Gritty as well....   every frame will hold you captivated....  actions sequences or not....

It helps a lot that the actors fits the movie quite well....  with Mickey Rourke providing real acting chops as the baddie...  he did not need to be totally enhanced as was the baddies in 300 - his acting alone was enough to chew up every scene he is in....   the supporting casts of familiar faces (Stephen Dorf, John Hurt, Freida Pinto, Isabel Lucas as Goddes Athena, Kellan Lutz as Poseidon, and most notably, Luke Evans as Zeus...) were all pretty good, as well....   again, they fit right in...  one forgets that these are just actors playing parts....   I was totally engrossed in the film... 

and Henry Cavill totally delivered on the promised seen in the HBO Series The Tudors....  now am even more soooo looking forward to seeing him fly in the screen as the Man of Steel!!!

Never mind that, most likely the director and producers of the film, butchered up the whole Mythology of Theseus - you just go in for the ride and come out Visually Satisfied!!!  Very much recommended - rainy day or not....
