The great Zeus
is kidnapped, and Perseus has to go save his father and the world from the most
formidable force known to all. This may sound like something to go queue up and
see, but it wasn’t anywhere near good. Wrath of the Titans is plagued with shouting
matches, forgettable dialogue, and CGI that was just all over the place.
The movie's antagonist is the Titan Kronos, who has broken free from his ancient prison and threatens to bring destruction to both gods and humans alike. With the gods losing their powers because people have stopped believing in them, Perseus must embark on a dangerous journey into the Underworld, old friends, to stop Kronos.
The only good
thing in the movie was that I did not fall asleep. I give them that. The movie
isn’t that bad, it just wasn’t worth making, and you probably won’t fall asleep
either because the script’s repulsive stand will keep you awake all through.
Also, things actually happen a lot in this movie, so I can guarantee that you
will find something exciting to hold on to, problem is when that develops later
in the movie you will just throw your hands.
Shooting was
done mostly in Europe, in areas of vast land so that the scenes of destruction
would have room to be done.
The movie had
pointless chaos, all due to the script and unwarranted emotions displayed by
the actors, that will keep you wondering if the director was actually watching
or had probably fallen asleep.
The plan to make
a sequel to Clash of the Titans had been around since the shooting of the first
film. The producers were hoping to rake in enough cash from the first movie and
then use that as a good lead to shoot Wrath of the Titans, which they hoped would
also rake in enough to lead to another sequel, thereby making a trilogy.
Although Clash of the Titans was a waste of film reel, it still made three
times its production cost at the box office. So Wrath was done. Wrath, on the
other hand, made twice its production cost. This may mean we are not safe, as
the producers could be conceiving another craperpiece.
The plot is as
simple as what I said above. Perseus goes on a rampage into the underworld to
save his father Zeus and save the world from the hands of the mighty Ares, the
god of war.
Planning to
thrill movie watchers with stick-like acting and scenes that make you wonder if
the director was actually sleeping during the shoot is what Warner Bros tries
to pass off as a movie. I shake my head in disapproval and disappointment.
Directed by
Jonathan Liebesman, a South African director who was responsible for the movie
Battle: Los Angeles, Wrath of the Titans is a most skip from my perspective,
that is, if you haven’t seen it already.
