There is a lot to enjoy, admire and appreciate about Tarsem Singh’s Immortals: the visuals, the heroics, the battles, the imaginative designs, the insane gore and Mickey Rourke’s scene-chewing villainy. However, all these splendid pieces don’t necessarily add up to a cohesive whole. While not without merit, Immortals just isn’t a very good movie. It lacks soul. It has no heart.

The August popcorn flick sure to delight any moviegoer looking for explosions, name actors, and big guns is The Expendables. An elite group of military men sent in on a secret mission in a foreign country (South America, this time) is one thing, but the cast of this group is another.
