Wrath of the Titans

Wrath of the Titans is a 2012 sequel to Clash of the Titans. This stars Sam Worthington (as Perseus), Rosamund Pike (as Andromeda), Bill Nighy (as Hephaestus), Édgar Ramírez (as Ares), Toby Kebbell (as Agenor), Danny Huston (as Poseidon), Ralph Fiennes (as Hades) and Liam Neeson (as Zeus). Some of the special effects were fun, but we were not sad to see the end of it.

Moria closes with this: "It makes for a pretty show of flash, bang and wow, even if the spectacle eventually washes over you with all of the sum and substance of a disco ball light." Rolling Stone says it "sucketh the mighty big one." Slant Magazine doesn't give it any stars at all and says,
This is a product of gross indifference in every respect, an attempt on the part of its producers to make enough money to justify a third, perhaps even more cut-rate, installment. (Revenge of the Titans?) Just when you think the Hollywood machine can't express its contempt for its customers in clearer terms, Wrath of the Titans, compared to all the cynical CGI dumps we've endured over the past two decades, is one increment beyond the bottom of the barrel.
Roger Ebert says,
No attempt is made to achieve a consistent physical scale in the movie, nor a comprehensible spatial plan. I was never quite sure where anybody or anything was in relationship to anything else, and eventually I gave up trying: This is a montage of sweaty, dirty, bloodied faces and figures assembled to fit between balls of fire.
Rotten Tomatoes gives it a critics score of 26%.
