Immortals

Total failure of doing a movie with the aesthetics and success of "300".

Mediocre story, bad planned action scenes, tons of Fx, poorly developed characters and tons of stereotypes.

Everyone talks about how Immortals is a 300 ripoff, and don't get me wrong, it absolutely is, but I haven't yet seen anyone talk about how it's also a bit of a God of War ripoff.

I'm actually quite fond of historically-set mythology films, but I don't believe the problem with Immortals isn't the setting or the genre, it's the motivation behind its being made the way it was. The 300 movie exists to be an adaptation of the 300 comic book, the Immortals movie exists because the 300 movie made money. (Don't get me wrong, I know that the real motivation behind both these, and of any other studio film, is money. But someone involved somewhere has to want more from their movie than that. And Immortals doesn't give me the vibe ...
