Tarsem's work is infinitely more exhilarating when he’s relieved of the need to be in any way serious. He should play dumb more often.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 28, 2025

Entertaining and at times exciting, there’s always something visually interesting onscreen, but the film is not a brainy experience by any means.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 3, 2023

...Singh is a good match for todays CGI uproar, and 2011s The Immortals gives him something worth chewing on; Greek mythology filtered through Hollywood moonshine...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2022

The film is fast-paced and the dialogue doesn't make your ears bleed... For incidental pleasures like these, I'm willing to forgive a swashbuckler a great deal of heterodox stupidity.

The film is likely to have more than a few detractors, but those who go into the theater knowing what to expect will find a lot to like in Immortals - and find themselves in the passenger seat for one heck of a ride.

While this may be one instance where Singh's art outweighs his story, it sure does look good doing it and I enjoyed almost every minute of it.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 16, 2021

A decade later, Immortals still feels sublime. This particular kind of auteurist exercise so triumphs in executing its mad vision that it stands as something of a gold standard for other visual stylists.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Nov 29, 2021

Find the biggest screen, crank the stereo up loud, and revel.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 14, 2021

Singh's aesthetic makes for one of the most intriguing applications of 3D in this new era of the format.

| Jan 15, 2021

Singh once again proves a master of all things visual.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

It has terrific action.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 10, 2020

What I like about it is that Tarsem treats the material with respect.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 10, 2020

It's visually stunning.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 10, 2020

Even mainstream Tarsem is better than the Hollywood machine and if nothing else he never fails to create breathtaking ocular art.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 10, 2020

The director of Immortals, Tarsem, who also made The Cell and The Fall, is talented at fooling us into thinking that looking cool is good enough, and so I drank in the gory violence like spring water at an oasis.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 10, 2020

Heavily imbued with mythology, the film fails to connect. And the fact that Frieda pitches in a frozen act makes you feel miserable. The only actor who breathes life on screen is the wicked, crooked Mickey Rourke.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 10, 2020

Most of it grows from the simple-minded thinking of "Because it looks cool."

| Original Score: C | Aug 10, 2020

It's handsome, but it looks as if the entire film was shot in a giant spray tanning booth. Kind of fun though.

| Aug 10, 2020

Immortals is more style than substance, but at least Tarsem did deliver on his promise of Caravaggio meets Fight Club.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 10, 2020

More than a few times, Tarsem embraces this ridiculousness to exciting results. From a twisted torture device to some good ol' testicle smashing, the film outright commits to a B-movie sensibilitiy.

| Original Score: B | Jun 23, 2020
