Immortals

Actors:  Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke, John Hurt, Freida Pinto, Stephen Dorff

Rating:  8 out of 10, a really good action movie that doesn’t let up after a little bit of a slow start.  The story is engrossing and the action is extremely well done.  Mickey Rourke once a again plays a multi-layered villain with relish.  Pinto is once again beautiful but can also act as the oracle who chooses love over her mystical powers.  Cavill looks great in the lead role as Theseus but he doesn’t keep up with the acting chops going on all around him.  Dorff is a very interesting actor and is memorable here in a very small role.  I like the way the movie does the Theseus legend from a slightly different viewpoint and although there are some huge holes left in the plot I really enjoyed this epic ride.  The director does a great job of some very interesting camera angles - well worth a watch.
MVP:  Pinto is luminous as the failed oracle
