Wonderful Movie

Simply A Masterpiece

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Good: The scenery, cgi and costume design is great, and you could probably just cut a selection of random parts of any scenes and it'd be a great trailer.Not so good: Now trailers usually don't give much story, and neither did this film. It seemed like all the storythreads they had, were missing bits and pieces. It was like they were trying to make the story as thin as possible, or as if the producer was afraid a story would get in the way of all the fighting and cgi.Annoyments: * Perseus decides not to save the world with his father in order to protect his son? Oh yeah, he's just a semi god, so he's just semi-logical? * Poseidon's great fear was to die, to become - nothing. His internal stuggle to overcome this fear and join Zevs again is given 3 seconds * A labyrinth was built in ancient times that looked like it would take years to pass through. Luckily they have a map and a navigator. Unluckily the producer thinks there is too little fighting going on, so he decides the map is useless, and so is the navigator and swish, swosh, swish, five minutes later they are through! * I could go on and on, but probably the most useless part of the film was the love story (all films must have a hero and a blonde who kiss in the end right?). If you decide to watch this film, highly against my recommendations, then please amuse yourself by following this exceptionally romantic love story that is entirely absent until the very end and, try to make sense of it.

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 (2012): Dir: Jonathan Liebesman / Cast: Sam Worthington, Rosamund Pike, Edgar Ramirez, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes: A far superior film than that remake crap that proceeded it although it still pales in comparison to the 1981 original. This one follows the emerging presence of evil as the gods clash with Hades and his army, which leaves Zeus with his powers draining drastically in an effort to awaken the fire giant known as Kronos. This is an impressive and overwhelming creature that strikes fear into villagers with its charred and fire figure destroying more ground than any forest fire. There are numerous other creatures that enter the chaos that will prevail where the film becomes corny but the climatic showdown packs a mean punch. Sam Worthington redeems himself after the previous spectacle and portrays Perseus the demigod who has a son but must face off new obstacles. Like Lynn Collins in John Carter, Rosamnund Pike plays Andromeda as some sort of warrior in what comes off as some sort of gender joke that becomes forced as oppose to believable. Edgar Ramirez plays Ares, Zeus's other son who is jealous of his affection for Perseus. This results in a strong villain responsible for the chaos as well as provide a worthy adversary for Perseus. Liam Neeson displaying Zeus's weak side may be a mistake but it does bring more emotion to the role. Ralph Fiennes plays Hades but he isn't much more interesting than he was in the pathetic film that proceeded it. Visually superior sequel where the wrath comes from following a piece of crap to begin with. Score: 6 ½ / 10

Mighty and magnificent, Wrath Of The Titans is the ultimate battle against men and Gods, this is a powerful and epic sequel. From monstrous fights with deadly creatures to heart pounding sword fights, the action is fierce and doesn't stop. Sam Worthington returns as Perseus and he is joined by a whole new cast including the gorgeous Rosamund Pike as Andromeda, who really kicks ass. Toby Kebell and Bill Nighy join in the excitement, and also add humour and a few dark laughs along the way. But who can forget Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes. What I love about the first film and this sequel is the brilliant cast. Although the Kronos sequence doesn't feature an epic roar like the Kraken did in the previous film, its still a mighty finale as is the fight between Ares and Perseus. Wrath features some stunning 3D, the action shots are incredible and the pop out moments are insane. I think the best 3D effects are seen in the maze, the depth is astounding and the environment stretches far away. Even simple shots of actors standing amongst backdrops of the Tartarus covered in lava and collapsing structures look breathtaking. Wrath is a fantastic sequel, I find it just as good as the Clash Of The Titans, except this time around the 3D is so much better and adds to the experience making it so much more immersive.
