Why do people want to take the characters from Greek myth and make up different stories for them, particularly stupid and unoriginal ones like this? It's understandable in series like Xena, which run on so long they run out of sensible story ideas, but in a feature film?? Of course movies do change stories around, even with historical subjects, but this plot makes as much sense as having George Washington, trying to rescue Queen Elizabeth I who's been kidnapped by the Emperor Nero. Yes, it's that stupid.Almost nothing is good here. The casting is ridiculous, from Liam Neeson as a kind of Irish Zeus, who's been living in the USA a bit too long, on down. The acting ranges from bad to appalling, with even the likes of Edgar Ramirez as Ares (a ludicrous god to choose for chief bad guy – someone's been watching too much Xena, where at least they had Kevin Smith who could almost act) being way out-hammed by the ghastly scenery-chewing Rosamund Pike. Oh yes, and why did they take Andromeda on the adventure when she couldn't do anything at all (except over-act)? Of course – to have someone around to rescue – silly me! Even usually reliable folk like Bill Nighy seemed to have given up trying on this one.The story managed to be both silly and clichéd at the same time and contained nothing remotely of interest. The script was ghastly, mixing fantasy-speak: 'I am he!' with lines like: 'You gotta be kidding me.' The one good (well, not too bad) thing here was the effects. Lava-monsters are pretty easy to do, but winged horse Pegasus was actually quite impressive, though his colour-scheme was odd. This would have been a rock solid one star, as much of a waste of time as you're likely to find, but the effects get it up to two. It's a shame so many film-makers nowadays seem to think effects are all that matters. They must have spent a fortune on them here, surely enough to pay for a decent lead actor and a whole host of writers with better skills and ideas than this. Come to think of it, despite Clash of the Titans, no-one's ever done a really decent version of the original Perseus story, which is about a million times better than this rubbish.

I'm not the type of film watcher that has a preconceived opinion about the film. I don't go in expecting something. I just watch.When I watched this movie, I was entertained... Bottomline. Sure, if you want award wining dialogues, this movie is not for you. If you want your movie to be theoritically amazing, this movie is not for you.But if you want an evening of fantasy, this movie is simply terrific. It has a group of people on a quest and they succeed in the end. What more do you want? I don't want to see literary dialogues or artsy situations. I just want to see a guy fight with magic and for the good cause.This movie had it. I was completely into it for as long as the film lasted and that's all I need. When it was done, I felt I had a good evening. This movie is not one for the legendary ranking, but surely enough to watch a second time.And contrary to what many film critics propose, not EVERY film has to be top 100 of all time film... Some movies are just fun for an evening. And this is one of those films. It is not a "blown away" type of film... But a "that was fun" type of film. In anyway, well worth your 90 minutes.

I was one of the few that enjoyed Clash of the Titans but it's sequel was even better Wrath Of The Titans is bigger, badder and louder the film was directed by Jonathan Liebesman and starred Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramirez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell, Rosamund Pike. People who hated the first one will love this one more it has really great effects and awesome action scenes the acting is good and the direction of the film is also good. If you loved the first one you going to love this one also it's so much better than people might say....Overall Wrath of the Titans is a huge improvement over it's predecessor and a fun movie to watch.

I watched original Clash of the Titans as child. It was fun movie with lot of adventure. When I hear new Clash of the Titans was made I became excite and run for cinema to see. It was disappoint. Not terrible but not very good. So Wrath of the Titans release and I think it must be greater than Clash of the Titans! I go to see at local cinema with my mother who is big fan of Liam Neilson. After watching movie mother shake her head. I ask about mothers condition. She say to me she love Liam Neilson as favorite actor and see this movie make her heart heavy. It is like she learned Liam Neilson paid money for secret time with ladies of night. I comfort mother and promise her to study English and make review of this movie! Then others with love for Liam Neilson can understand not to watch! So I do not recommend this movie! Story is not interesting. Effects are too much and not striking. Acting is poor especially of Sam Worthington!2 of 10 **
