Highly Overrated But Still Good
Best movie ever!
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
All hell breaks loose (literally) in this non-mythological based sequel to "Clash of the Titans." This story bridges the time of the gods and legends to the time of men. The gods have been losing their power because people have stopped praying to them. Hades, the god of the underworld (Ralph Fiennes) and Ares, god of war (Édgar Ramírez) join forces to release Kronos from Tartus and destroy the gods. Zeus (Liam Neeson) is taken captive and held prisoner as his power is slowly drained from him.Perseus, son of Zeus (Sam Worthington) teams up with Queen Andromeda(Rosamund Pike), Hephaestus (Bill Nighy) and Agenor (Toby Kebbell) to enter the ever shifting labyrinth of Tartus and free Zeus. Apparently ordering everyone to pray to Zeus to give him power is no longer an option. Alexa Davalos played the original Andromeda...just pretend you are watching "Bewitched."The movie gives you a brief intro, but there is no real character build-up with an assumption that you have seen the other film. The action hits the screen from almost the moment the movie starts and continues until it ends. There are a few brief scenes without fighting and killing, but they are designed to set up for the next action scene or action game as the case may be. The special effects were superb. The plot was good in keeping in line with the mythology, however the dialouge could have been better with less phrases designed to be truisms and with more funnier quips. Worthington, still living off his Avatar success, gives us his typical less than stellar performance.No f-bomb, sex, or nudity. Plenty of killing, monster horror, and violence.
WRATH OF THE TITANS is another 3D blockbuster and a follow up to CLASH OF THE TITANS. I enjoy these movies, even though the storytelling is little more than a joining of dots in between the next CGI action set-piece. This one sees Perseus retired to live the life of a peaceful fisherman, until Hades and Ares concoct a plot to unleash the father of the gods, Cronos, from his underworld stasis. It's another simple effort about the hunt for a magical item and a race against time, and it feels very much like an updated Ray Harryhausen movie with CGI replacing the old stop motion effects. I've never been a fan of Worthington but you get plenty of familiar faces fleshing out the cast here, from a returning Neeson and Fiennes to Rosamund Pike's warrior woman and Toby Kebbell as the comic relief. I saw this in 3D and the effects are fine, not quite top-tier, but there's plenty of depth and a few 'duck' moments. The CGI is very good and culminates in an excellent pitched battle against Cronos, who could have come straight from a mega-budget kaiju movie.
I was one of the few that enjoyed Clash of the Titans but it's sequel was even better Wrath Of The Titans is bigger, badder and louder the film was directed by Jonathan Liebesman and starred Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramirez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell, Rosamund Pike. People who hated the first one will love this one more it has really great effects and awesome action scenes the acting is good and the direction of the film is also good. If you loved the first one you going to love this one also it's so much better than people might say....Overall Wrath of the Titans is a huge improvement over it's predecessor and a fun movie to watch.
I watched original Clash of the Titans as child. It was fun movie with lot of adventure. When I hear new Clash of the Titans was made I became excite and run for cinema to see. It was disappoint. Not terrible but not very good. So Wrath of the Titans release and I think it must be greater than Clash of the Titans! I go to see at local cinema with my mother who is big fan of Liam Neilson. After watching movie mother shake her head. I ask about mothers condition. She say to me she love Liam Neilson as favorite actor and see this movie make her heart heavy. It is like she learned Liam Neilson paid money for secret time with ladies of night. I comfort mother and promise her to study English and make review of this movie! Then others with love for Liam Neilson can understand not to watch! So I do not recommend this movie! Story is not interesting. Effects are too much and not striking. Acting is poor especially of Sam Worthington!2 of 10 **
