Slant Magazine
Dashing across the screen in all its bloody, gilded glory, the awesome and beautiful Immortals marks an all-win scenario. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
Spectacle and spectacular are often confused for one another in stories of epic adventure, but Immortals is the rare film where they are one and the same. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Thrills are in short supply, but so are annoyances. This is a maintenance-free ride. - 60
New York Daily News
A popcorn movie has one goal, and that's to entertain. Immortals meets this criteria handily, and serves as a splendid spectacle besides. - 50
USA Today
What undercuts sharper than Poseidon's trident is a script that sees its characters as cardboard, not flesh and blood. For a film meant to be spectacle over substance, it's not a fatal blow. But it is a mortal wound. - 50
Los Angeles Times
I realize that making Immortals immortal was way too much to ask, but frankly, just a shade more plausible, not to mention pleasurable, would have been nice. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Immortals is not only entirely without humor, but is dominated by a lot of huffing and puffing, thunderous self-importance and windy Socratic quotations about the immortality and divinity of men's souls. You just have to roll your eyes after a while. - 40
Variety
Navigating the film's mounting erotic bloodlust proves tedious, until the show-stopping final battle between gods and Titans in one chamber, Theseus and Hyperion in another, at which point logic melts away completely and the pic's raison d'etre emerges -- namely, to justify staging a fight scene for the ages.
