Blu-ray Review: Tarsem’s ‘Immortals’ Stages Overwrought Tedium of the Titans
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 21, 2012 - 8:42amCHICAGO – Franchise-churning Hollywood has become so desperate to launch a bankable series every month that it’s now resigned to scouring the past for material, from oft-told faerie tales and outdated fantasy novels to familiar mythological figures. The premise of “Immortals” sounds like the spawn of an especially cynical business deal (“It’s Greek myths meets ‘300!’”), and results in a picture as dull and forgettable as the “Clash of the Titans” remake.
