Although the film was criticized when it was released in 2012 – yes, it has only 26% approval note on Rotten Tomatoes – Jonathan Liebesman’s Peplum film “Wrath of the Titans“Attract a large audience on Netflix.” Wrath of the Titans “is a series of The ugly 3D film of Louis Leterrier “Clash of the Titans” of 2010 of 2010, “ Himself a high octane remake of the brilliant fantastic epic of 1981 led by Desmond Davis and with Harry Hamlin.

The three films concern the adventures of the Persée Greek hero, played by Sam Worthington in the remakes. In “Clash of the Titans”, the adventures of Perseus contain part of what you remember by studying Greek mythology in primary school. He is the illegitimate son of Zeus, born of the human woman Danae. He grew up, raised by fishermen, in the city of Argos. When he was 18 years old, the King and Queen of Argos waged a war against the gods, encouraging their anger. Hades (Ralph Fiennes) appears in court and says that they must sacrifice Princess Andromeda (Alexa Davolos), otherwise he will unleash the Kraken, a giant sea monster. Liam Neeson plays Zeus and Persée Combat Medusa. Gemma Arterton plays Io, and there are small roles for Mads Mikkelsen, Nicholas Hoult, Pete Postlethwaite and Jason Flemyng.

The film is terrible, but it made more than $ 493 million at the box office (!), Which means that a sequel was inevitable. The extrapolated rest of the Greek myth and concerns a bizarre ride: the gods lose their powers because human beings have stopped praying them. You might think that faith was easy to find in a universe with Krakens, Gorgons and gods appearing in person, but too bad. Hades and Ares (Edgar Ramírez) join forces to steal the Thunderbolt of Zeus and … well, the intrigue continues Apace.

Everything is very without spirit.

The intrigue, to come back, recalls more a fetch-compout video game than everything you could meet in old texts. Perseus, now 10 years older, is said by Zeus that if the gods lose their powers, then the walls of the tartare will fall, releasing the Titan Kronos, a creature so powerful that it can destroy the world and reverse Mount Olympus. Hades and Ares concluded an agreement with Kronos; Once it is released, they can remain immortal in exchange for the power they can siphon from the body of Zeus. Perseus will have to face Kronos himself. Its objective is to assemble the trium lance, a weapon made of the fork of Zeus, the Hades fork and the Poseidon trident. It is not much more sophisticated than recovering the master sword in “The legend of Zelda”.

Andromeda is back, now played by Rosamund Pike. Danny Huston plays Poseidon and Billy Nighy plays Hephaestus. There are also cyclops, minotaur and other pious beings.

The film is muddy, visually indistinct and the action is largely generic. The “Titans” remakes were clearly produced following the success of Zack Snyder’s “300”, and he has the same ultra-sedian and ultra-masculine signs of this film. Worse, that doesn’t seem to say much. There is a vague theme concerning the function of faith in an evolving world, but it is not really explored. It is also an illogical theme in a world where the gods are very real and prove their direct influence on the human world on a daily basis.

Sam Worthing has accumulated a bad reputation for playing thick head action heroes in films like “Terminator: Salvation” And “avatar” films. Worthington is actually a capable artist who has taken many action / gender films that did not ask for much. The “titans” films did not have to be hard and taciturn.

It seems that it was enough to win a “anger” of $ 302 million at the box office and a new life in streaming, however. So what do criticism know?
