So last night I went to my local cinema to see Wrath Of The Titans the sequel to the much talked about and extremely criticised Clash If The Titans a film which was panned for almost everything!
The story goes that Zeus (Liam Neeson) has been captured and taken to the underworld by his brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes), now Perseus (Sam Worthington) must now travel to the very depths of the underworld to find and save his father.
The major question for the sequel is could it be better or worse and would the 3D be so much better than its predecessor which was terrible for its 3D.
Well let me tell you about the 3D first, it’s miles better, the film is completely in 3D and it all works brilliantly, at one point in the film part of tail of a Chimera that has a type of snakes head actually came out of the frame!.
With a 3D effect like that my hopes started to rise and I started to settle back to enjoy the film.
Clash of the Titans vs Wrath of the Titans
Now I do have to point out that Wrath Of The Titans is better than Clash Of The Titans, it still has a lot of room for improvement though, the storyline is quite sparse, as you may have seen earlier in this review, but this is made up for with some pretty amazing action set pieces, though saying that, if this is a battle of the Gods then maybe we could have had some more creatures and a heck of a lot more Titans popping up.
Creature wise we have a family of cyclops in a nicely done chase/fight sequence, a rather short set piece with @BigSpenWilding as the Minotaur, which must have been less than a minute long, a two-headed creature near the beginning with some tasty 3D and of course Kronos!.
Sam Worthington carries off his return as Perseus quite well as do Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes as they return to their parts as Zeus and Hades.
Overall Thoughts and Rating For Wrath Of The Titans
Overall it’s a fun film, it’s not a thinkers film, just an all out blast of the senses with great set pieces. A fun night out!
