![]() And call me an idiot, but when they found the three people trapped inside the giant (golden? brass?) bull while being slow-roasted, I had no idea how they got there or who they were. There are such puzzles as why an army stretches the width of the horizon and has to funnel four abreast through a narrow opening in a wall. If at many moments I had stopped the film and asked anybody around me, "who is that, and what are they doing and why?," I think they'd have been stuck for an answer. Characters would turn up for the first time, seem terrifically important, and disappear. I also enjoyed Mickey Rourke doing his smash everyone routine.īut a lot of the time I had no idea what was going on. Also many scenes starring John Hurt, who plays, as he seems to in half the movies these days, an old man who's been there, done that, and knows it all. There is a brief love scene involving Phaedra ( Freida Pinto) and Theseus, of which I can say, as I have before, that Freida Pinto really has a lovely face. I was encouraged by this because the actor, Henry Cavill, will soon be playing Superman, and here we see he can do that stuff for real. ![]() Theseus is so strong he actually stabs one enemy with the end of his pike and tosses him with great force against a rock wall. There are no end of battle scenes, interminable and incomprehensible, in which beheading and skewering are routine. You'd think the waves would wipe out civilization, but the payoff seems mostly when everybody finds themselves covered with mud. One legendary character does dive into the sea, turning into a kind of missile and impacting like a bomb, creating a giant tsunami. These characters all seem compelled to live as close to the edge as possible, where they run nimbly, survey the horizon, push each other, and never look down to check their footing. No one on the cliffs but Gods, heroes, Oracles, warriors and suchlike. In fact, all of Greece seems to be on the edge of a drop of hundreds or thousands of feet, although sometimes in the far distance we see flatlands, which are no doubt where the peasants live. That allows for lots and lots of towering cliffs. The movie is sometimes completely CGI, and there must not be many scenes with no computer work at all. This sounds great, but when you're shooting arrows at tens of thousands of enemies, your fingers could get bloody pulling that bow string. Much depends on the possession of the hidden Epirus Bow, which can fire arrows that materialize from thin air and guide themselves to a target. It involves, in a very broad sense, the attempt by King Hyperion ( Mickey Rourke) to conquer Greece, and the battle to stop him led by a plucky peasant named Theseus ( Henry Cavill). The information provided was correct at the time of writing.Alas, the movie makes next to no sense.
