Director: Jonathan Liebesman (Battle Los Angeles, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)
Starring: Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy, Edgar Ramirez
Just likes it's predecessor, 2010's Clash of the Titans, Wrath of the Titans looks pretty, but has little else to say. 10 years after the events of Clash, Wrath pits Gods against Gods, Gods against half-Gods, and finally, you get to see a Titan. It's only taken 280 minutes. The action, set pieces, various monsters, costume design and CG look incredible. At least they've been thoroughly thought out because an even scrappier script drowns the cast. If the accents aren't hard enough to digest, the story hardly knows where it's going. The cast are in the zone when it comes to the fighting, but let down by the script for the moments in between. Replacing Alexa Davalos with Rosamund Pike to play Queen Andromeda is risky, and works to a point. Wrath is mindless fun. Don't expect to be blown away. If you enjoyed Clash, then Wrath will entertain you. Just don't expect Clash 3 any time soon.
3/5
