Seen at a pre-release screening in Pico Rivera:
I am officially tired of movies about Greek myths. Better than its 2010 predecessor, Clash of the Titans, it’s still a mundane action movie involving gods and mythical creatures. I mean they certainly made it work with what they were given and the movie is generally favorable, it’s just too structured and predictable. If you want to watch a movie about myths and titans, watch Immortals instead.
That being said, there were a lot of cool scenes. I especially loved the labyrinth scene, they always have cool creatures–this time, the Cyclopses–and the 3D usage was one of the best I’ve ever seen, but they better have an awesome production value given its behemoth $150 million budget. It’s currently last on my list of movies I’ve seen this year.
So not looking forward to the third installment…as I trudge my way into the theater.
Wrath of the Titans opens in theaters today.
