the leading man is my tpye

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I'm always afraid of sequels. I'm not the only one, there are even several actors who don't like it. This film explains the reason: the're almost always worse than the previous film which, in this case, wasn't particularly good. And although I realize that the title is a reference to an older film (that is, this is a sequel to a remake), it remains a poor choice for a title, but that's the least relevant criticism here. If the first film seemed insipid and filled script failures with a CGI avalanche, it had at least the virtue of having a history closely related to Greek mythology. This movie lost that, preferring to create something new that gave continuity to the previous story. It's a legitimate choice... but it failed squarely.The plot takes place ten years after the events of "Clash of the Titans". Perseus lives a mortal life with his son when he's called by his father, Zeus, the king of the gods, to aid in a problem with the instability of the walls of Tartarus. Soon after, this problem disappears, no one ever talks about it, and the gods turn against each other in an internal war, when Perseus will participate to avoid the return of Cronus, a primordial god, father of Zeus, and basically prevent the end of the world. I found this highly predictable plot plodded like a bad patchwork. A disaster completed with insipid and uninspired dialogues, several cliches reused from other action epics (the use of slow motion in battle scenes, for example), and such an amateur editing and post-production work which seem to have been done by trainees, in their first fifteen days of office! It's perfectly clear, throughout the film, a brutal pace difference, with moments where everything happens very quickly and others where the action creeps like honey in the Summer. If we cannot blame editors for these pace differences, we can only point the finger at the awkward director Jonathan Liebesman, who perhaps did better by dedicating his time to filming home movies with puppies. It should be noted that neither he, nor the scriptwriting team, had any part, as far as I could tell, of the previous film.About the cast I can say that there are great actors who manage, with great talent and dedication, to make the film not a total waste of time. Liam Neeson is flawless and delivers clean service to the audience; Ralph Fiennes did a good job, perhaps even better than in the previous film; Sam Worthington seems to have learned from the mistakes he made in the previous film but remains stupid and presumptuous; Bill Nighy was very good and gives some light moments and situational comedy; Alexa Davalos gave way to Rosamund Pike, who made a nimble and brave queen, something that I really enjoyed because she's a talented actress who only used to do unemotional and cold characters.The film reproduced the formula "if the script does not work, drown it with CGI and action to make it work". When will filmmakers realize that CGI has become ordinary? It's no longer possible to build a good movie only with lots of visuals and brutal action scenes. There needs to be a good story behind all that, and this movie just doesn't have it. I could tell about the unrealistic way I watch the fight scenes, as this seemed to me totally choreographed... but even that loses relevance if script's not there. It's a movie that isn't worth watching more than once, just to see how bad it is.

Perseus, now living the life of a fisherman with his son, Helius, receives a visit from Zeus informing him the Gods are losing their immortality due to the mortals lack of prayers. Zeus also tells him the walls of Tartarus are crumbling and the imprisoned Kronos will soon be free, but valuing his family's safety, Perseus refuses to get involved. Zeus meets his brothers Hades & Poseidon, along with Ares, Posiedon's son, to find a way to rebuild Tartarus' walls, but instead is attacked by Hades. He and Ares make a deal with Kronos...drain Zeus's power in exchange for remaining immortal. When Perseus learns of this, he is sets out, along with Queen Andromeda, to stop Kronos before it's too late.Not many sequels better or surpass their prequel, but Wrath of the Titans is one film that does that, and does it well. Oh, and just to inform you...if you're expecting exact accuracy of Greek mythology then you'll be disappointed, but to be honest you're a bit gullible if you DO expect a Hollywood adaptation of Greek mythology to be exact. This is, after all, an Action/Fantasy film...not a Documentary.Reading some of the criticism this film's received is a bit bewildering with one saying "lacks inspiration or zest in storytelling, performance or action". Lacks action?! Really?! I must have seen a different film because there is action-a-plenty. Anyway, the film may lack real depth for a story, but with a movie like this, I can't really see how it can be a mutli-layered story. It's Greek mythology, not a film adaptation of War & Peace.The action is excellent and the special & visual effects are absolutely stunning, especially for Kronos, who, thankfully, had more screen time than the Kracken in Clash of the Titans. Some of the acting's a bit wooden but it's still a very enjoyable mythological romp that is FAR better than tripe like Legend of Hercules and John Carter.Ignore the critics on this one and judge for yourself. You may just be pleasantly surprised.

After defeating the Kraken, Perseus returns to the quiet life of a fisherman and the sole parent to his son Helius. Zeus (Liam Neeson) warns Perseus (Sam Worthington) of a coming battle. Mankind has stopped worshiping the Gods and they are weaken for it. Titans are fighting their imprisonment and Kronos himself could rise. Kronos is the father of brothers Zeus, Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston) whom they imprisoned long ago in the Tartarus. Hades double-cross Zeus along with Zeus' son Ares (Edgar Ramírez) aligning themselves with Kronos. They drain Zeus' powers to release Kronos. Perseus goes to Olympus and finds Poseidon who dies leaving him the trident. Perseus must battle the monsters and rescue Zeus with the help of warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon's son Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy).The story is complicated especially if you don't have a degree in Greek mythology. The movie doesn't waste much time explaining things before they start spending the big CGI bucks. And they spend a lot of it in this movie. This is wall-to-wall big CGI. It wears me out. Then I start to be stunned by it all and then I started to admire the audacity. As a story, there is some interesting daddy issues on display. Sam Worthington remains one of the most wooden actors leading big budget blockbusters. Rosamud Pike is an odd and unlikely choice for a Greek warrior queen. It's not just the English Rose looks but also the fact that she's not usually an action star. This is a movie where all consideration is made for big CGI action and not much for everything else.

After the success of Clash of Titans it's been just a matter of time when the sequel would appear. Given the fact that Liam Neeson starred in it made the probability even higher. And as i've expected, in Wrath of Titans we simply see another installment of the same concept.There is actually nothing major i might tell about the movie since it might be summed up in a couple of words: epic fantasy meets CGI. Oh, it's been based on ancient Greek myths, but this is of minor importance.Wrath of Titans is just another movie that helps marketing agencies find the right giveaways that come with a children's meal at your local fast food chain.
