Tarsem Singh makes pretty movies. This one happens to be pretty bad as well with atrocious, leaden dialog and a barely existent plot. The visual style of the movie is so thoroughly artificial looking that the settings lose any impact. The costumes and the bodies they adorn are pretty nice, though.

Definitely see Tarsem Singh's&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Fall/dp/B001BPJJ9G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Fall</a>&nbsp;though, to see why Immortals is such a disappointment.

From the DVD cover I thought this was going to be a fun Indian road trip movie, but it's not. Basically the movie revolves around a 30 year old woman who for the first part of the movie is hated by numerous taxi drivers since she is rude to them and insists they speed and other things which results in a lot of crashes. She has an elderly 70 year old father who is just a selfish, sexist, rude, man with self entitlement issues. He treats his daughter like a slave and demeans some other guy who I guess is hired to be his assistant or something throughout the whole movie. The cleaning lady quits, since he keeps accusing her of stealing, and follows her mopping the floor with dirty feet around the house. She tells the daughter she will only return when he is gone. The vile old man also has constipation issues which he likes to talk about. For some reason he is also pregnant, seriously he's wearing one of those fake pregnancy bellies, I don't get the joke of that as him being pregnant is never referred to by any character including himself in the movie. He decides to visit his own home on the other side of India but refuses to fly, catch a train, bus or anything sensible. His daughter books a taxi, but the driver doesn't show up and all other drivers don't answer their phones when the boss rings them, so the boss decides to drive them himself.

So the driver shares in the abuse and put downs along the journey there, but points out to the daughter this isn't acceptable behaviour and if she's waiting around for him to die before getting on with her life she'll be 50 by that point. Really the father is just so unlikable, such as at one point he says women are for the bedroom at night and cooking in the day. That pretty much sums him up. I know unfortunately there are people like this out there in the real world, but I don't really need to watch a character like this for two hours.

Annoyingly the movie itself takes four minutes to get going, before that we've got logo after logo for every company in India I would imagine, and then opening credits. There is no intermission of Bollywood dance numbers in this one, which you may see as a plus or a minus.

The plot of "Fudoh: The New Generation" goes some thing like this.  Father kills son.  10 years later younger son takes revenge using a gang made primarily of pre-teens.  Now that you know what the movie is about you don't need to watch it.  This has to be the worst movies I have ever seen.  It is even worse then Starship Troopers II. There is no character development the plot line is about as good as a porn movie.  Im not saying this because of all the nudity but rather it is just unbelievably lame.

With the exception of the first action scene the action sequences are slightly worse then what you would find in an average American TV show but they try to cover this up with massive amounts of blood.  Which brings me to the one thing this movie does have, shock value.  This movie is filled with situations that are intended to shock the viewers, but in most cases just made me giggle at its absurdity.  Here are just a  few of the situations:

A crime lord drinks a poison which seems to make all his blood shoot from his neck and mouth(lots of blood here).

Another crime lord is shot by a six-year-old kid (meant to be shocking but hey who really cares?).

Yet another crime lord is killed when a stripper shoots a dart through his head with a blowgun.  The "shocking part" is that she uses something other then her mouth to blow the dart."

Oh yeah and what movie would be complete without a hermaphrodite sex scene?

In conclusion I can't believe I spent an hour and 40-min watching this.  So pleas do yourself a favor and don't watch it or if you do watch it rent it so you won't be out so much money.

(Note: I copied most of this from my review for Scorpion King 2)
I didn't buy this on Amazon but watched it on the Sci-Fi Channel. My Lord. This is a terrible, terrible movie. The first Scorpion King had the classic Mummy formula: swords and sorcery, vague Egyptian mythology and history, adventure, and sexy chicks in pointlessly revealing outfits who can fight but generally need an similarly clad big strong man to save them. The only difference is that in here, the special effects, the sets, and the prop work are so badly, badly, badly done that I literally wondered if there was any other point to this than Zane and Perlman needed some extra cash. Who the hell is Victor Webster, and how do you replace the Rick with Webster? Noticeable and massive, unrealistic change to the character's demeanor. The acting is horrendous - they don't even try to make the Egyptian characters seem real. The props are so cheap and so are the dark champion characters, the title of whom which I forget. Cobra's name is in English, ffs. She and the other woman are literally just here for action shots of sexy Asian women in revealing outfits, but their action scenes are terrible. Kimbo Slice's weapon can be covered in flames, but when the audience can see the holes in the club where the flames from from its so shoddy and unbelievable it's insulting. This movie also creates a massive plothole - in the first appearance of the Scorpion King, he wins his reputation through a seven-year war that brings him to the gates of Thebes. At this point he loses and is exiled to the Ahm Shere desert. He wanders for say a year? Then he makes his bargain with Anubis and returns to sack Thebes. However, this movie portrays him years AFTER the first Scorpion King standalone movie not making war on the known world. It unrealistically pads the timeline with years of ruling the Ramusan and Talus kingdoms (he could TECHNICALLY start his seven-year war after this movie) and doesn't explain why Mathayus wouldn't just stay in Asia as the Scorpion King with his Cobra Queen, Silda. Silda doesn't have any motive for conquering the known world and wouldn't support Mathayus with her army. It adds another 2-5 years of swimming in the eddies before returning to the plot again.

As a final note, Zane's acting is so overdone that it's actually insulting that he was paid for this movie at all.

I can't believe those stars including Clive Owen thought it was a good thing to do this movie.  Money is money I guess.  I read critics' reviews that it was in the genre of Sin City but it was terrible.  "Over the top" garbage.  The whole movie was just done bad.  All the shootout scenes were so mindlessly dumb that I lost interest fast.  All the dialogue tries to be cool but it is hopeless.  There are good shootout scenes like The Matrix and Heat and then there's this D-class junk.  This is a prime example of trying too hard and coming up with a mess instead of an "over the top" action flick that's smart and entertains.

By no means is this a terrible movie; it's just the very definition of meh. The plot is simple (probably a good thing); but the acting-aside from Eckhart is-subpar, and there's not one memorable scene in the movie. It's supposed to be an action flick-and there is some action-but there was nothing you haven't seen before, nothing you would describe to friends as "exciting". I watched it less than 48 hours ago and I'm already starting to forget what happened. I know I'll never watch it again and won't recommend it even as a 1 time viewing.

I hardly know where to begin, this film being so terribly awful. The fountains and geysers of blood were so over the top as to be laughable. The several hundred "Kato" characters running around left one begging for a cartoon Green Hornet to enter the scene.... it couldn't possibly have been worse than what we got. Uma's in a coma for 4 years, yet in a few hours she's up walking and fighting again. She flies commercially while nonchalantly carrying a Samurai sword. The language would make a sailor blush and run away. A young non-Japanese woman running a Tokyo crime syndicate could happen, right? Has anyone ever heard of a gun??? Uma's character would have been dead many times over (except for the "expert assassin" in the beginning of the movie who shoots at Uma and misses): OOPS! I forgot! At the start, Uma gets shot in the head at close range, yet comes back unscathed. etc. etc. etc. I'd need 10,000 words to list all the garbage that reeks in this film.
I thought maybe Tarantino was going for camp, but no..... there's nothing but a few very lame attempts at humor. This idiotic film actually takes itself seriously. It's weak attempts to pay homage to another time and to other films falls flat.
Folks.... If you believe Uma Thurman makes a good Samurai, then I've got some property in Florida you might be interested in..... natural irrigation, wildlife.... it's beautiful!!
Tarantino is Sam Peckinpah times 10, without his grit or meaning.
Look.... The acting's bad, the plot is thin and predictable (did anyone not know after 15 minutes that the baby was alive?), the language and lines are eye-rollingly horrendous, and the blood so deep as to not even be gross. Don't just leave this movie on the shelf, hack it apart with a Samurai sword.... It's the only satisfaction possible out of this gelatinous chunk of dooty.

This is what I think of it: Bad movie, bad acting. Boring story. Sometimes it is even ridiculous and not because they try.

As a person who enjoys movies. I was hopeful about this movie given the cast.  This movie was so bad that I have decided to post the only review  I have ever posted so that no other person has to suffer through the waste of time.  The only reason I watched the entire film was because I was mildly hopeful that some of these issues would get resolved.  This movie makes no sense most of the time. The entire plot relies on the viewer to figure out subtle clues however they are not clear or even understandable.  One scene starts with Isabelle unable to open her car with her key, then she crashes the car into pillars in the parking lot while the incident is being filmed.  Did Christine force the car to do this?  or was it Isabelle  bizarre and unbelievable emotional response?  It is never clear or explained.  As a viewer I have no compassion for Isabelle at all. I have more compassion for the villain, Christine.  I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the actors involved in this film. In addition to lacking the ability to evoke empathy from the viewer, the entire plot lacks believability.

Go and watch the first Die Hard film. It's ok, I'll wait. Now, save your money on this awful film. You've had a good time, no need to spoil it with this. Let me save you some trouble by breaking it down for you - A Good Day to Die Hard brings John McClane (played once again by Bruce Willis, looking very bored) back to movie audiences. This time he needs to go to Russia to bail out his son Jack (played by Jai Courtney) who, it turns out, can hold his own in a fight. Together, father and son must face off against Russian terrorists looking for a file that would make them all look bad. What is on the file is really not that important to the filmmakers. There's a car chase that appears to destroy half of Russia without much consequence to our heroes, several shoot outs, and fights in Chernobyl. Nobody seems to realize they would need to wear masks just to go near it. Given the property damage and loss of life incurred, it becomes difficult to imagine that McClane isn't wanted by Interpol at the end of the film. The viewer will also notice that the film is really just a series of action scenes with a bare bones plot to tie it all together. If you were to view these scenes out of order you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. After you have all the explosions and wrecked buildings, just add Bruce Willis repeating certain lines over and over at various points in the film ("I'm on vacation!" is one example) and you have something that the discerning movie goer hopefully didn't shell out $10 to see in theaters.

There was a time when the DIe Hard movies were fun, escapist, entertainment. In 1988, John McClane had something to say. In 2013, Bruce Willis just wants his money. Originality dies slowly and painfully. It's hard to watch.

(A side note: I don't really believe the positive reviews below were done by real people. It pays to get wise to these marketing ploys trying to sell a film to viewers when the studio knows its crap. Don't buy in.)

Let me start by saying I usually enjoy Shahrukh Khan films. Yes, they're big budget mainstream Bollywood, but usually decent entertainment. This, however, is atrocious. His character is a smug jerk, Girl 1 is a spoiled rich girl who somehow appears as a blonde white girl in flashbacks, Girl 2 is arrogant and petty. And we're supposed to spend 3 hours with them?? Add to that a whole lot of treacle... just a disaster of a movie. Don't waste your time.

That depressing thought should motivate Beatty to make another movie and quick. It's been nearly eight years since this one came out and he's not getting any younger. As if the fact that this film is a crude sex romp that isn't funny or sexy isn't enough consider that it cost over $90 million to make. So many talented people, including Diane Keaton (Beatty's companion for many years), Nastassja Kinski, Andie McDowell, Jenna Elfman, Goldie Hawn, Garry Shandling and Josh Hartnett, are wasted and embarrassed here. (Let's not even mention Charlton Heston's cringe inducing performance which finds him growling like a dragon and chasing Beatty around with a rifle). The film begins with a nude Warren (thankfully covered by a sheet) being serenaded by a nude cellist. He informs us in a useless narration that this isn't his wife and that this will never happen again. Cut to Paris where he and his actual wife (Keaton) are celebrating their anniversary with another married couple (Shandling and Hawn). After the couples return from their vacation Hawn learns that Shandling is cheating on her and files for divorce. Devastated she confides in Keaton who's positive her husband could never do something like that. Guess again since the film tastelessly finds Beatty and Hawn hooking up and shows them having sex on numerous occasions. Warren doesn't stop there though  he goes on to romance McDowell, Kinski, and Elfman before finally coming clean to his wife. Not even Jack Nicholson, Warren's good pal, acts this bad in his movies so why should Beatty think he could get away with it? It's a terrible film that should depress fans of anyone involved.

Here we have a Yash Raj film.  The ever gorgeous Tanisha Mukerjee, and a time span of less than two hours, but yet this film was just plain stupid!

Tanisha Mukerjee is gorgeous.  I'd almost tolerate any Bollywood film that would have her, and I put alot of confidence in Yash Raj to put out a great film, but I was really let down with this film.

I appreciate that it wasn't some long, tiring, three hour movie but even at just under two hours, there still was way too much music which usually kills the appeal of any Bollywood film to most Americans (including American born Indians).

I won't watch this one again anytime soon.

I love awful movies and dislike bad movies.  This is a bad one.  Some funny scenes, I wouldn't watch it again.

As a bad film it only halfway meets expectations. Some times the dialogue is bad due to the issue with James Nguyen's English.  It's hard to believe this man really is trying his best to make his Hitchcock inspired films. This movie is so bad it's not good. At least with Tommy Wisseau you have a man with a language issue and a possible brain injury. This man is a child. The cast is so bland, but I can't blame them.  So, the movie is a haphazard tribute to the film classic, the birds. Tippi Hedron appears on the TV in one scene from another movie. Yes, he couldn't get her to act in this one, but somehow convinced her to do another one. To be fair, Whitney Scott does a passable job as a 18 year old, fairly inexperienced actress. Birdemic is a horrible movie, badly made, and only occasionally funny/sophomoric.

The movie starts with the "hero" killing his pregnant girlfriend and goes down hill from there.  Its so boring sprinkled with patches of pointless violence it took me 3 sittings to finish the movie.  I stuck it out waiting for it to get good and it just kept getting worst.  Avoid.

What a waste of a good cast. Guess in you're a hip hop daddy and worlds at war fan, it's a good way to kill two hours that you should have been doing homework.  Violence just to fill film time. What happened to the script? Did it get wet during the shooting. Save your time and money.
