Wrath of the Titans is the 2012 sequel to 2010s Clash of the Titans and sees Sam Worthington reprise his role of the demi God, Perseus. Liam Neeson and Ralf Finnes return as Zeus and Hades respectively while Edgar Ramirez joins the cast as Aries, Danny Huston plays Posidon and Rosemund Pike is Andromeda. Bill Nighy and Toby Kebbell complete what is a pretty solid cast. It must have cost a pretty penny bringing this cast together which obviously didn't leave much in the kitty for the writing team and the results are a bit of a mash up which takes the characters from Greek mythology but the storyline is a complete concoction. Key elements of the plot are just out and out nonsense, for example neither Hades nor Kronos were exiles in Tarterous which is important as their exile provides the motivation for the entire movie. It's a shame the writer hadn't approached the subject with a bit more respect for the source material. The plot will not satisfy fans of Greek mythology while simultaneously confusing the general audience. Having said that it is still quite entertaining and doesn't overstay it's welcome at only a tad under 100 minutes although it feels a bit rushed in places.
