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.

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

What it lacks are the very elements that made the first movie such a surprise: wit and nerve.

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.

Deep Focus Review

In true big-budget sequel tradition, every moment fails to live up to the original.

It has some nice eye candy and a few pretty cool moments, but it lacks the kick and the grit of the first film.

A big improvement on Sinbad the Sailor which was astounding when I was a kid (several decades ago) but yeah, the dialogue and writing in particular are sub-par - it's too bad - quite a lot of wasted talent.

Simply don't get the hate for these films. This and it's predecessor Clash of the Titans (which I slightly preferred of the two) are both high quality sword and sandal movies with excellent special effects, good acting from the star studded cast and are obviously based upon epic tales. Ignore the haters who I suspect many of which have never actually really watched either of them and enjoy both of these quality movies.

In the first scene we see a gravestone that is engraved with English text. ENGLISH!!! Actually, this is the very moment when we all should leave.

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.

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.
