Film Review - Wrath of the Titans (2012)
Wrath of the Titans is the follow up to the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans, Sam Worthington reprise his role as Perseus, the half son of the mighty god Zeus (Liam Neeson) who is betrayed by Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Aries who wish to release the Titan Kronos.
Wrath of the Titans to be frank was Relentless and Boring to watch, so much of this movie could be spoofed into one of those old Batman episodes from the 1960’s as so much of it is BANG! CRASH! BOOM! WHACK! KAPOW! BURN! SLASH! HACK! GROWL! and on and on it goes, there is really no plot here at all and director Jonathan Liebesman films this as if he’s combined the climax of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and the artistic style of 300 and boy do you feel dazed and confused while watching it.
But with that also came a sense of sadness as 4 excellent actors are in this movie, Neeson, Fiennes, Rosamund Pike and Bill Nighy, all of them do okay but they just feel wasted in their roles as they are capable of so much more than the banging and clanging and the hacking and the slashing and the ow, ow, ow it hurts a glavin.
In short, please don’t see this movie, keep the ticket and candy bar money in your pocket, use it to do something for someone you love or a family member or a friend who might be celebrating their birthday, something that puts a smile on your face and makes you think that life’s a happy song when there’s someone by your side to sing along, 1 out of 5.
