There are maybe two fights in Immortals that last for longer than 30 seconds, even with all that slow-mo stretching the runtime, and neither are filmed as well as the ones in 300. My issue is that it only exists to do what 300 did, yet it does all of it so much worse. Hell, if enough people rip an idea off over a long enough period of time, in movies, we call that a genre. I can handle Immortals doing what 300 does. And Immortals doesn't give me the vibe that anyone did). But someone involved somewhere has to want more from their movie than that. (Don't get me wrong, I know that the real motivation behind both these, and of any other studio film, is money. The 300 movie exists to be an adaptation of the 300 comic book, the Immortals movie exists because the 300 movie made money. I'm actually quite fond of historically-set mythology films, but I don't believe the problem with Immortals isn't the setting or the genre, it's the motivation behind its being made the way it was.
