Actors: Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes,
Edgar Ramirez, Toby Kebbell, Rosamund Pike
Rating: 7 out of 10, a surprise when a sequel is
better than the original film but this film is clearly superior to the original,
Clash of the Titans. Worthington is an interesting actor but in
this movie he spends almost the entire film getting his ass kicked repeatedly
and thoroughly. He’s supposed to be the
hero but in each instance he wins (he is the hero after all) by some last minute
gambit. This prevents him from being
truly heroic and steals some of his luster.
The special effects are truly special, especially the father of gods
Chronos who looked like the LOTR’s Balrog on steroids. The supporting cast was extremely talented if
cursed with some truly unfortunate hair cuts.
Kebbell (as always) and Pike were both extremely credible in their roles
as comic foil and romantic interest. I
liked this movie so much more than the Clash of the Titans which I don’t even
remember very well other than mild contempt.
MVP: Worthington
as Perseus shows he can take a punch and carry a movie
