Third Time Appears To Be the Charm for Immortals - First Good Trailer
Tue, August 16, 2011 
Could Immortals be the next Rise of the Planet of the Apes?
Translation: the movie I endlessly shit-talk about how stupid it looks based on the (lack of) strength of its early shitty trailers. Then one single trailer comes along that pulls the plot together, sets up its story in a compelling manner over the course of two minutes cut together from its two-hour running length, pulls a 180 in its broad marketing strategy and winds up both commercially successfully and, gasp, good?
Based on this third trailer for the Tarsem Singh-directed fantasy epic starring Henry Cavill before he was flying around Metropolis, standing for truth, justice and the American way, it's possible. MSN has said footage, but isn't sharing with an embed code, the bastards! But God bless, YouTube so you can either follow the link above or see it below. You tell me I'm wrong, but this is the first time I've seen Immortals and didn't think it screamed, "300 knock-off!"
