Wrath of the Titans

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Its 3D effects are an improvement over its predecessor's, but in nearly every other respect, Wrath of the Titans fails to improve upon the stilted acting, wooden dialogue, and chaos-driven plot of the franchise's first installment.

Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) Amid the fast-moving chaos, it gets a little repetitive: there's so much volcanic action, so much fire and brimstone that all that heat might leave you cold. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 30, 2012 Full Review Mark Holcomb Village Voice What it lacks are the very elements that made the first movie such a surprise: wit and nerve. Mar 30, 2012 Full Review Leonard Maltin leonardmaltin.com The problem with a film that uses CGI as a substitute for good writing is that virtually every picture that comes along nowadays has impressive visual effects; this has leveled the playing field, to say the least. Rated: 2.1/2 Mar 30, 2012 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review In true big-budget sequel tradition, every moment fails to live up to the original. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies It has some nice eye candy and a few pretty cool moments, but it lacks the kick and the grit of the first film. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The computer graphics are definitely more impressive this second time around.

Aidan B The special effects are definitely an improvement; however, "Wrath of the Titans" never improves upon its predecessor and fails to live up to many of the promises its title and premise would suggest. Much like the previous film, this installment turns a concept that should be an absolute joyride into a predictable, below-average fantasy movie and never really much else. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Georgan G 3.25 stars. Great special effects that I wish could see in 3D. The mythology here starts before the gods began & demigods end up saving the world. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review R 9 I'm split on this one! In some ways I kinda prefer 'Wrath of the Titans' to its predecessor, though in other ways it is a downgrade. My positives include the pacing and the use of 'the gods', with both - in my opinion - better done in this 2012 film when compared to the 2010 original. The shorter run time helps, while Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are far better utilised this time. My negatives include the story and (one or two) new cast/characters. The plot didn't really hold my attention very well, at a number of moments I felt my mind drift away from what was occurring onscreen. I wasn't bored or anything, though I could feel myself lose interest immediately after a scene that promised more than it delivered. As for the latter, Rosamund Pike and Édgar Ramírez are disappointing additions. With that said, Bill Nighy is a newcomer here and he actually entertained me - probably my standout character from this sequel. Toby Kebbell is a solid newbie too, to be honest. Elsewhere, Ramin Djawadi is missed on music but Javier Navarrete does a perfectly fine job in fairness. Naturally, I can only speak for myself and to me this is an average, if admittedly forgettable, flick - nought worse. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/23 Full Review DJ W I enjoyed it, I think its over hated. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/17/23 Full Review Sakiusa T I actually liked the first one, this one ultimately decided the series fate, which is nowhere! But enjoyed the 3D cinematic effects, plot line was horrible and felt rushed! Also, did not enjoy the changes from the original. This was the one chance from the first movie to prove critics wrong and redeem themselves. However the project fell flat on its face and hopefully they do a remake or just leave the imagination for fans to the books and avoid screen production in terms of ruining the whole story or universe arc for fan fanatics and avid followers! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Giorgio S How do you kill Zeus(Liam Neeson) with a sandstorm? How can you do a remake based on 3d when the 3d is the worst thing of it?
