Give it a Myth
Garishly CGI'd, savagely violent fantasy movie apparently aimed at people who thought 300 showed too much subtlety and restraint. Bad guy Hyperion (Mickey Rourke in a selection of funny hats) is out to destroy the world by releasing the Titans from their prison; the gods of Olympus can't intervene directly (one wonders why not) and get Henry Cavill to stop him instead.

By turns predictable and inept, and with some of the weirdest production designs ever seen in a mainstream movie, the sheer unevenness of Immortals gives it a certain novelty value to begin with, but the succession of scenes featuring eyes being gouged out, tongues removed, women roasted alive, men castrated with sledgehammers, and so on, quickly become wearing more than anything else. A bit like watching a cross between cut-scenes from Mortal Kombat and an off-year staging of the Eurovision Song Contest.
