It's one of the best looking films of the year in terms of visual spectacle, and Tarsem does a greta job blending real sets with the CGI - but this really isn't all that great.

The story dragged on a bit and I couldn’t help but think that if the writing was a tweaked a little better, this would have definitely been a very solid film. Instead it was just fun and pretty to look at.

I haven't seen either of his earlier films, though I am intrigued by THE FALL and might check it out. He fills a niche in the market, but I will be wary of seeing any more of his film in future. Still, in IMMORTALS, there are some pretty awesome moments, though they are few and far between.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-8712024614648768692011-11-28T17:52:44.721+11:002011-11-28T17:52:44.721+11:00And this is from the guy who will direct that awfu...And this is from the guy who will direct that awful <i>Mirror Mirror</i> film. Man, that is such an awful trailer. I liked <i>The Cell</i> and thought <a href="http://thevoid99.blogspot.com/2011/10/fall-2006-film.html" rel="nofollow">The Fall</a> was quite interesting. Still, I agree that he needs to create stronger stories.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
