Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. Interesting watch that runs British slow but entertains on the intellectual level. Know this movie has been designed for a sophisticated, mature adult audience. The movie lost $6 million dollars in theatres and did not earn high recommendation by the majority of movie critics.
Wrath of the Titans has the same difficulty most movies about Greek
and Roman mythology have: There is not enough time or a big enough screen to
allow the impact. This movie relies on a good cast, realistic spectacularism, great
animation of monsters such as Cyclopes and creatures like the flying Pegasus.
More time needs to be invested in fleshing out the main characters’ personalities.
The movie is not good enough to make it worth audience time to watch unless one
is involved in the series and wants to finish the stories or is a hardcore
Greek mythology fan.
Thank
you to Director Jonathan Liebesman for directing effort. Thank you to Producers
Basil Iwanyk and Polly Cohen Johnsen for making the film possible. Cast
includes: Sam Worthington, Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy, Édgar Ramirez, Toby
Kebbell, Danny Huston, Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson.
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe. The general audience may enjoy this movie
for its animation effects and its basic storyline. For the hardcore lovers of
the gods and their interactions on earth, then the outcome of Perseus’ interaction with his father, Zeus, will be interesting.
