Wrath of the Titans

Didn't find many redeeming qualities in Wrath of the Titans.

It's one of the worst sequels I've ever seen.

Counting on the manufactured pop-cultural codes disinterestedly built into its tired formula to lethargically generate knee-jerk approvals and instantaneous wonder, it proceeds from one predictable banal scene to another while relying on constant fighting and trite dialogue to move things rapidly along.

There is a five minute interval where the film seems to recognize its stench at which point things become somewhat more appealing.

But this interval passes swiftly and then it's back to taking itself and its ancient subject matter far too seriously for another 45 minutes.

At which point it ends, thankfully after only a little more than an hour and a half.
