Wrath of the Titans (2012) Movie Review

Wrath of the Titans (2012) IMDB Prime

Wrath of the Titans 2020 movie poster

A big budget adventure fantasy movie that did over $300M in worldwide box office. Also the sequel to Clash of the Titans which did almost $500M. Both movies feature Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades, but each story focuses on the main character Perseus played by Sam Worthington.

In this sequel the gods have a problem, mankind has stopped worshipping the gods like they had in the past and they are losing their power as a result. Part of that power is holding together the walls of the underworld prison Tartarus. Eventually we have a large prison break and monsters are released on the world. Now we have some action taking place, with Perseus needing to defeat a series of monsters.

The story eventually becomes a fantasy quest to defeat the “final boss” (Kronos) and save Zeus from the Underworld. Perseus needs to make his way through a shifting labyrinth in Tartarus and eventually encounters the mythical Minotaur. The story unfolds in a typical big budget fashion. The monsters are good and the special effects are also. I didn’t; expect much from this film and that is what it delivered.

I would say 6/10. Worth seeing if you like this kind of film.
