“Wrath of the Titans”: some angry birds! [MOVIE REVIEW]
18.05.12
Cyclops and Kronos and Makhai, oh my! “Wrath of the Titans,” picking up where “Clash of the Titans” left off is a 3D nightmare of gods, monsters, rock slides and fire breathing warriors. In director Jonathan Liebesman’s revisionist history of Greek mythology, the gods have begun to lose their heavenly powers because man has ceased to pray at their altars. Seeing an opportunity in weakness, Kronos, father of Hades, Poseidon and Zeus turns Hades and Zeus’s son Ares, god of war, against them in a ploy to regain his own powers and destroy Zeus and Poseidon. Zeus, recognizing the danger pleads with his preferred son, demi-god Perseus, to help him. But Perseus, consumed with love for his own son and desiring to live a simple human life as a fisherman, refuses, leaving Zeus more vulnerable than ever to the power of Kronos.
Eventually realizing that an all-powerful Kronos will, indeed, destroy the happiness he has carved out for his son, Perseus bonds with Agenor, Poseidon’s demigod son, and Andromeda the warrior queen to fight the forces of evil.
