acting/characters	# # #	The actors were o.k they could have gotten into the mood of the movie a little more

Mood	# # #	The mood was interesting. It wasn't exactly happy but it wasn’t bad either. It was tense. Everyone basically just tried not to get killed
directing	# # #	The directing could of used  some work. It was a little dull and not suspenseful enough. You could kind of predict what would happen. But some of the scenes were exciting  and had nice  angles.
location	# # # #	The location was actually really interesting. I liked all the rocky cliffs and dessert plans. I especially liked were they lived on the side of a cliff it definitely got my attention and made me watch the movie.
special effects	# # #	The special effects were satisfying. They had some really nice effects sometimes when they were fighting but other times it just seemed to fake and to much blood.

               

                    Movie Review: Immortals

    The movie Immortals by far was one of the goriest movies I’ve seen. The brutal King Hyperion played by Mickey Roukre wants to find the lost bow of Hpirus. It doesn’t matter whats in his way he will destroy any and everything, at least that’s what he thought. Until he came upon a certain village. Hyperion was about to kill a frail women when all of a sudden Theseus(Henry Cavil) jumps out and kills all of King Hyperion’s men around him. But Hyperion then strikes and kills Theseus’s mother. Hyperion being the generous man he is decides not to kill Theseus and to let him live with the pain of his mother being gone. But he does get taken hostage and will be put to work. Theseus then  escapes with the help of the oracle and seeks revenge. Now, this movie sounds exciting and suspenseful, but don’t get your hopes up it was a big let down.


    One thing that was surprisingly bad was the turn out of the plot line. The plot line itself  sounded exciting, but it didn’t turn out that way. The characters fell short for me. Theseus was exciting at times but it seemed a little dull. He didn’t seem...sad. His mother died and a war is about to brake out and he doesn’t show any emotion about being sad. Also there was so much gore that it took away from the suspense and acting. Almost every scene there was blood or guts. I was expecting it to be gory because that is  why it was rated R but I wasn’t expecting  that much. Also no surprises or curve balls were thrown at us. I think if there was a twist it could have been a much better movie. That would have given it a little more suspense.The directing could have used some work too. As I said about the plot line there was no suspense. The directing I think could have helped that as well. He could have made the scenes different. Every scene was predictable. He could have changed it up a bit. At least that’s what I think.

    But the special effects and location were amazing, the location especially. Theseus and his village lived on the side of a cliff, literally. There was an indent in the cliff and they made their homes there. That was really exciting to see. And in the different scenes it was nice to see what type of land form they were in. Sometimes they were traveling through rocky mountains but other times like in the main war scene half were inside the gate and castle and the other half was on a flat clear dusty plane. It was cool to see the transition.  The special effects were amazing as well. When the gods would fly down from above it was awesome to see the wave of force they brought. I especially liked the part when Poseidon( Kellan Klutz) flew down to help Theseus and landed in the ocean leaving a giant title wave killing Hyperion’s men. Certain things like that draws the viewers attention.

    Over all Immortals  wasn’t my favorite. There was to much gore and not enough suspense. But there were certain things that at least kept it from being an O.K movie.

                THE END!!
