(Movie Review) Wrath of the Titans (2012)

Do you know what is better than a horrible rip off of a long loved/respected piece of scifi/fantasy history? A sequel to the horrible rip off. Because when it is all said and done, what is the industry about? Making dreams and memories for new generations of movie goers? NO! It's about trying to make mountains of cash off of the name of a movie instead of the quality of the movie. A sin that, I'm told, earns you a special spot in hell.

Storyline: A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus-the demigod son of Zeus-is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity's lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans' strength grows stronger as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned...Written by Warner Bros. Pictures 

Thoughts? This movie was trash. From start to finish. So, we have a sequel that basically makes the first movie pointless. Great job. Way to reward your fans. Also, the always-boring-as-hell Sam Worthington, gives us yet another example of why he is quickly disappearing from Hollywood as a "go to" leading man.
