Wrath of the Titans attempts to take viewers on a prototypical adventure of Greek mythology, throwing in as many creatures, supernatural beings and sorcery as it can within its 99-minute span. This proves good and bad for the film, as each of these scenes comes packed with fun, but has little time to develop these mythological elements in detail. Additionally, the dialogue is melodramatic and simplistic at times, and the film moves fast through its variety of scenes. The special effects really sell it, however. Between the movie’s epic battle scenes and landscapes, explosions that shake the theater or incredibly detailed monsters, it’s fun to watch from beginning to end. Wrath of the Titans is worth checking out in theaters solely for its immense action.
