Synopsis:
Clash Of The Titans:
The ultimate struggle for power pits
men against kings and kings against gods. But, the war between the gods
themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man,
Perseus is helpless to save his family from Hades, vengeful god of the
underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a
dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus
and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus
sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling
unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept
his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.
Wrath Of The Titans:
A decade after his heroic defeat of
the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is attempting to
live a quieter life as the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius.
Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the
Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods
are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their leader, Kronos.
The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are
siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the
warrior Queen Andromeda, Poseidon's demigod son, Argenor, and fallen god
Hephaestus, Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the
underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.
Review:
Well I decided to review these two films in the same style that I did the Sherlock Holmes movies. For the exact same reason as the Sherlock movies, because they were exactly the same movie. I did not mind the first film when it came out because it was a film that I felt like it was OK to reboot. The original in my opinion was very poorly done, claymation graphics & stupid robotic owls. The story was good enough however to make the film a watchable concept. It was the over the top, CGI creature, mythology fest you would expect from current Hollywood big budget productions. Everything about this film is average or slightly above average. Liam Neeson & Ralph Fiennes were both good enough, Kraken was cool but we've seen so many giant monster/creature things over the past few years that it wasn't anything special. Wrath Of The Titans was the exact same movie. Replace some actors & characters with new ones who are essentially the same. Change Kraken to a giant lava/volcano monster. Sam Worthington, not a very good actor. Overall they were both nothing special, watchable enough that it's a good time killer I guess. Hopefully they won't make a third, but we all know they will.
