Rated PG-13, 99 minutes
"Wrath of the Titans" is the mediorcre follow up to the 2010 blockbuster "Clash of The Titans," which somehow was a hit in spite of how bad it was, particularly the cheesy special effects and horrendus 3D. This mildly entertaining but muddled epic (again in needless 3D) is a little better than the first film, which obviously isn't saying much. Most of the cast from the first film is back, including "Avatar's" Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson as gods battling it out for supremacy, this time in an effort to steal Zeus' power, which we know how that will turn out. An obvious attempt at god-like, gargantuan filmmaking (the explosions come fast and furious) that doesn't make the film any better. Seeing A-listers Fiennes and Neeson go at it, in addition to the fast-paced action sequences and special effects highlight the otherwise pedestrian epic (acting and dialogue are fairly nonexistent), which means it should be a big hit. But it will take all the power of the gods for "Wrath of the Titans" to defeat "The Hunger Games" at the box office this weekend.
