Ten years after defeating the Kraken, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is living a quieter life as a fisherman and sole parent to his young son. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing on Mount Olympus: The gods are weakened by mankind's lack of devotion, and they are losing control of the Titans and their leader, Kronos, whom they imprisoned in Tartarus long ago. When Zeus is betrayed by Ares and Hades and captured by the Titans, Perseus leads a group to rescue him and save mankind from the ancient beings.

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

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.

Rated: 2.1/2

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 1.5/4

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

Wrath of the Titans is bigger, bolder, and more emotionally resonant than its predecessor, delivering a powerful gut punch. Where the first film held back, this sequel goes for the gut punch. Perseus is a more fully-realized character, Ares proves to be a far more formidable and ruthless villain than Hades, and Kronos emerges as a standout movie monster - picture a walking volcano. The film's biggest, and possibly only, failing is that Kronos isn't given enough screen time.

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.
