WRATH OF THE TITANS Review

by     Posted: March 29th, 2012 at 2:45 pm

wrath-of-the-titans-movie-image-sam-worthington-slice-review

2010′s Clash of the Titans was an absolute mess.  The story made no sense, the movie wasted its cast, and the film was clearly cut to hell with perhaps a more interesting tale left on the editing room floor.  The problems were compounded by thoughtless action scenes and atrocious 3D.  Wrath of the Titans solves the confusing-story problem by making the plot stolid and obstinate.  The action scenes are just as big but even more pointless, and the 3D looks fine but adds nothing to the experience.  There are some brief, glorious moments where strong performances peak through, and we get a glimpse at some imaginative designs.  These few moments help the sequel barely clear the low bar set by its predecessor.

5 Clips from WRATH OF THE TITANS Starring Sam Worthington and Liam Neeson

We’ve been provided with five clips from the upcoming sequel Wrath of the Titans to share with you today. Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles) takes over the director’s chair this time around and takes a more practical approach to the effects than Clash of the Titans.  The film finds Perseus (Sam Worthington) tasked with stopping the titans and saving Zeus (Liam Neeson) from Hades’ stranglehold (Ralph Fiennes).  Though Clash wasn’t exactly warmly received, Worthington has stated that he feels they did things right this time around. After seeing the film the other night, I agree.  Wrath of the Titans is what I hoped Clash of the Titans would be.  Trust me, the sequel is a vast improvement and a really good fantasy movie.

Hit the jump to watch the clips and look for exclusive video interviews with the cast and director Jonathan Liebesman next week .  The film also stars Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy, Edgar Ramirez, Toby Kebbell and Danny HustonWrath of the Titans opens in 3D on March 30th.

First Clip from WRATH OF THE TITANS

The first clip from Wrath of the Titans has gone online.  The sequel has Zeus (Liam Neeson) beseeching Perseus (Sam Worthington) to help stop the titans.  In the clip, Zeus once again shows he’s kind of a moron as he places his trust in Hades, Lord of the Underworld (Ralph Fiennes) and Ares, the God of War (Édgar Ramírez).  If you’re going to start a coalition, perhaps it’s best not to invite gods who thrive on death and destruction.  I’ve heard that the sequel is much better than Clash of the Titans, but that’s a low bar to clear.  There was a lot of potential in the first film, so perhaps Wrath will finally deliver (even though Zeus is giant doofus).

We’re a little more than a week out from the release of Wrath of the Titans, the sequel to 2010′s Clash of the Titans. You may have noticed from the images and trailers released for the movie so far that Wrath has no shortage of mythological creatures wreaking havoc and making life a living Hell for our heroes. With all of those beasties vying for screen time, it’s tough to pick out just which one is responsible for all that destruction. Take for instance, the fireball pictured above, which comes courtesy of one of the more bizarre creatures from Greek mythology, the Chimera. This new creature featurette will teach you everything you need to know should you find yourself up against the fearsome fire-breather.

Wrath of the Titans stars Sam Worthington, Edgar Ramirez, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, Rosamund Pike, Toby Kebbell and Danny Huston. The sequel opens in 3D on March 30th. Hit the jump to check out the featurette.

We’ve got four new images from Wrath of the Titans to premiere here on Collider today. The film is the follow-up to 2010’s Clash of the Titans and finds Perseus (Sam Worthington) being called on by the gods to help defeat the titans. Oh, and Hades has kidnapped Zeus too, so Perseus has to deal with that as well. There was a lot of troublemaking in ancient times is what I’m saying. Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles) takes over the director’s chair this time around, and Rosamund Pike joins the cast as the female lead, Andromeda.

Edgar Ramirez Set as Lead in Richard Kelly’s CORPUS CHRISTI; Robert Rodriguez and Eli Roth Will Produce

Carlos star Edgar Ramirez was on the shortlist of possible replacements for Benicio Del Toro when the actor dropped out of J.J. AbramsStar Trek sequel, but the role ultimately went to Benedict Cumberbatch. Now the much buzzed-about star has landed the lead in the next effort from Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly. Variety reports that Ramirez will star in Kelly’s Corpus Christi, a thriller set in 2014 that finds the actor playing an Iraqi war veteran with severe post-traumatic stress disorder. The character forges a dangerous alliance with a wealthy industrialist in Texas. The film is said to be a departure for Kelly as it has a more traditional narrative than his past features.

Eli Roth and Robert Rodriguez are producing the pic, which will start shooting on location in Austin this July. Kelly followed-up the well received Donnie Darko with the confusing Southland Tales, which of course was followed by the disappointing sci-fi thriller The Box. While I’m dismayed that we haven’t seen anything from Kelly that matches up to the wonder and darkness of Darko, I’m intrigued to see him take on a more straightforward story. Ramirez is currently filming Kathryn Bigelow’s action drama Zero Dark Thirty which centers on the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, and he’ll next be seen in the sequel Wrath of the Titans as Ares.

Warner Bros. has released 19 new images from Jonathan Liebesman‘s Clash of the Titans sequel, Wrath of the Titans.  The sequel has the gods calling on Perseus (Sam Worthington) to help defeat the titans.  The whole “Release the Kraken” thing from the first movie was just a big misunderstanding.  Gods and Perseus are cool now.  The images provide a first look at the great Edgar Ramirez (Carlos; check it out) as Ares.  He’s no Kratos, but Ramirez still looks like a quality god of war.

New Trailer for WRATH OF THE TITANS

A new trailer has gone online for Wrath of the Titans.  There’s not much in the way of new footage, but the marketing continues to push the big monsters over the puny humans.  The sequel takes place ten years after the original, and Perseus (Sam Worthington) is called in to assist the gods in taking down the titans.  I’m not sure if plots have become more coherent or 3D post-conversion has advanced in a decade, but one thing is for sure: wood is impenetrable.  You can use planks of wood as a shield against a fireball.  Spare me your mythical weapons.  I want wooden debris.

Warner Bros. has released two posters and three banners for Wrath of the Titans.  There’s no kraken this time around so none of the characters are going to say, “Let’s get kraken.”  I know the plot involves the titans getting unleashed and Zeus (Liam Neeson) asking Perseus (Sam Worthington) for some help, but I don’t get the point without kraken puns.  Kraken puns make the world go round.

New Images from WRATH OF THE TITANS Featuring Sam Worthington and Ralph Fiennes

The latest issue of Empire Magazine looks to be chock-full of goodies. We’ve already brought you some covers and images from The Avengers, and now some new images from the upcoming sequel Wrath of the Titans have landed online. The follow-up to Clash of the Titans finds Sam Worthington’s Perseus tasked with rescuing a kidnapped Zeus (Liam Neeson) from Hades (Ralph Fiennes). The images here are actually pretty cool, and give me hope that Wrath might possibly be a healthy step up from the underwhelming Clash. We get a peek at a grotesque-looking Minotaur, Rosamund Pike as Andromeda, Edgar Ramirez as Ares, Danny Huston as Poseidon, and Fiennes as Hades.
