Awful movie, waste of time and bewildering how enormous amounts of money could be thrown at this, especially with the substandard script and dialogue. Maybe there was some tension between writers David Leslie Johnson and his smooth young protégé Dan Mazeau. From previous interview: "David Leslie Johnson, he's not a skilled writer, nor gifted with the clever gene, not a creator of quality work, and with all these handicaps he manages to get high profile Hollywood jobs, all of which become one star movies, so he must be doing something horribly loathsome to keep getting hired back." 'spoil' alert: DLJ is 'writing' for the upcoming Aquaman movie - (he'll probably 'spoil' it, ha)

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 didn't check out WOTT in 2012 but caught it on Amazon Video today. Here are my thoughts. The special effects were phenomenal. OK, the script wasn't Academy Award winning but I think it conveyed the movie's message. Sam Worthington - what a dreamboat (but his character's dialogue was probably the most poorly written of all the actors)!!!! Rosamunde Pike - already has distinguished credits but absolutely has the potential for a stellar career in the movies. I kind of wish they had given Pegasus a little more face time but only because I am an animal lover! Liam Neelson put in a great performance as one would expect from a professional. Chronos - AWESOME!! My only objection is when the hero(s) entering Tartarus and what seemed to be an endless procession (and boring) of concrete slabs dropping or shifting. But I would unequivocally recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it yes.

After defeating the Kraken, Perseus returns to the quiet life of a fisherman and the sole parent to his son Helius. Zeus (Liam Neeson) warns Perseus (Sam Worthington) of a coming battle. Mankind has stopped worshiping the Gods and they are weaken for it. Titans are fighting their imprisonment and Kronos himself could rise. Kronos is the father of brothers Zeus, Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston) whom they imprisoned long ago in the Tartarus. Hades double-cross Zeus along with Zeus' son Ares (Edgar Ramírez) aligning themselves with Kronos. They drain Zeus' powers to release Kronos. Perseus goes to Olympus and finds Poseidon who dies leaving him the trident. Perseus must battle the monsters and rescue Zeus with the help of warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon's son Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy).The story is complicated especially if you don't have a degree in Greek mythology. The movie doesn't waste much time explaining things before they start spending the big CGI bucks. And they spend a lot of it in this movie. This is wall-to-wall big CGI. It wears me out. Then I start to be stunned by it all and then I started to admire the audacity. As a story, there is some interesting daddy issues on display. Sam Worthington remains one of the most wooden actors leading big budget blockbusters. Rosamud Pike is an odd and unlikely choice for a Greek warrior queen. It's not just the English Rose looks but also the fact that she's not usually an action star. This is a movie where all consideration is made for big CGI action and not much for everything else.
