ATTENTION: MOVIE SPOILERS INCLUDED!!

Wrath of the Titans

April 4 2012

I needed to get out of the house for a mid-week movie and I wasn’t sure what to see so I picked out this one.

My opinion:

2 out of 5 bags of popcorn for the overall movie

2 out of 5 boxes of milk duds for my personal entertainment

My suggestion: Skip it or if you LOVE special effects then see it in the theatre

The gist: Half-Man Half-Gold Perseus sets out to rescue his father, Zeus, who has been captured by his brother Hades and son, Ares. He must venture to the underworld to help free his father and prevent the Titans from being unleashed upon the world.

My Take: So I am going to have to disagree with my movie buddy who said “Liam Neeson” is always in good movies. Usually that is the case, but not this time. I feel like they just made this movie to make money off the Clash of the Titans success. I didn’t really understand why this movie was made. I enjoyed the Clash of the Titans very much, but this was honestly just a waste. I happened to see it in 3-D which I don’t particularly like, but there were some very good special effects while they were in the labyrinth of the underworld. That part I thought was pretty cool.

Sam Worthington was good. I like him as Perseus and he is a handsome fellow to boot. I am glad that he ends up with Andromeda in the end, just like the original Clash of the Titans.

There was a trailer for The Hobbit which previewed before the movie and that was one of the best moments of the whole movie. I was underwhelmed to say the least by the movie but it was still nice to get out of the house.
