Wrath of the Titans


A sequel to Clash of the Titans set 10 years after it, in which the titan Kronos arises.  The movie's pacing is brisk and pushes scene after scene of action, such that there's never really a point where there's nothing going on.  The plot is simple, as you would expect, there are no twists at all.  It's predictable in who is good and who is bad.  The antagonist's rationale is brushed over and weak, plus, they never get the proper painful death that they deserve.  After Perseus gets a massive beating and we spend minutes in slow-mo with sad music, he wins within seconds, very anti-climatic.  Wrath of the Titans is also very special effects heavy but curiously, it gets better as the film progresses.  The earlier monsters looked horribly fake and computer generated but the lava effects near the end of the film was impressive.  To be honest, there wasn't really a high point at all during the film, you become desensitized to who is fighting and who is defeated because you see so much of it.
