Wrath of the Titans

Sequel to Clash of the Titans (2010)
 
SF: I was not overly enthused about this movie but the trailer got me. This instalment was on a par with its predecessor, just ok. Plot, easy to follow. Action was alright but not particularly exciting. At least they gave a nice nod to Bubo. I'm still baffled as to how they got such an impressive cast. 5/10

50 Eggs: I'm a sucker for this genre of film and even own the admittedly lame Clash on DVD. Whilst Sam Worthing is still just as vacant, the sequel is superior in every other way. It's got it's issues but the plot is stronger, the action more intense, and the last 20 minutes is proper epic. I got to see it in 2d too, which helps. 8/10

Clash of the Titans

SF: I was very excited about this film, as I adore the 1981 original. Now the action was gripping and I can't fault it there but Perseus was basically a piece of wood. For the unfortunate moments he got to speak I was cringing in my seat. Mads Mikklesen was the only character with a tiny bit of depth but thoroughly let down by a rather poor plot. I've no idea why they changed the story around? The addition of Io was particularly unnecessary.  At least Alexa Davalos was engaging for her little screen. Not to mention the biggest crime, leaving Bubo behind.Clearly no one remembers that Bubo is that one who always saves the day in the original movie. 5/10

50 Eggs: From the moment Jurassic Park came out I was gagging for studios to start remaking the Greek Myths. This wasn't quite what I had in mind. It should have been awesome but thanks to a lazy script and odd pacing, it's just ok. Sam Worthing is awful in the lead role. He's too old and utterly lacking in talent. I did enjoy some of the set pieces though so it's not a total disaster. 6/10
