10 years since he defeated the mighty Kraken,Perseus is called upon again to stop a new evil from rising.

Starring- Sam Worthington,Liam Neeson,Rosamund Pike
Director- Jonathan Liebesman

Wrath Of the Titans is the sequel of 2010's Clash Of the Titans.It shouldnt be mistaken for the actual stories of the Greek Gods ,since Wrath pretty much makes its own idiotic story.

Sam Worthington (Perseus),Liam Neeson (Zeus) & Ralph F(Hades) reprise their roles.Just like Clash ,acting isnt its strong forte.Its actually more worse than Clash.Sam goes into over acting mode many times,Liam & Ralph are ok,but are severely underutilized.Rosamund does an ok job,but she seems out of place in such a movie.

Story is as dull and stale as Clash.It never has any excitement nor any kind of character development.Another irritating thing is that the events of Clash arent properly mentioned.Other than Perseus defeating the Kraken,nothing else is said.And the whole concept of Gods dying is just mind numbing.

Direction is poor.Jonathan,previously directed Battle LA,and the shaky camera technique seemed apt ,but for Wrath its just a bad idea.Another jarring experience are the dialogues.Its ok to have a character answer the viewers doubts here and there ,but Wrath has poor delivery and has characters explain stuff every now and then.This breaks the feeling of actually watching a movie.

For an action movie,Wrath boasts of some good scenes.There are primarily 4 main bosses(or titans/monsters).Out of them only the Chimera(the first fight) has the proper fight sequence.The other 3,especially the final Kronos,are finished off in a hurry.The last fight with Kronos is just disappointing,since by that time,you start to wonder how stupid the story has turned into.With the slow motion technique being used excessively it tends to get very boring.

Overall,if you just want to see stuff being blown up, Wrath is a timepass watch.But for the sensible group,give this movie a miss.
