About this movie

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Sam Worthington)-the demigod son of Zeus (Liam Neeson)-is attempting to live quietly as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year-old son, Helius. But unbeknownst to Perseus, a struggle for supremacy has been raging between the gods that will come to threaten his idyllic life. The gods are losing control over the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and Poseidon (Danny Huston). The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous Underworld. Now, Perseus cannot ignore his true calling as Hades, along with Zeus' godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramirez), switches loyalties and makes a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titan's strength grows as Zeus' remaining godly powers are siphoned...and hell is unleashed on earth. MPAA Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy violence and action. © 2012 COTT PRODUCTIONS LLC and FURIA DE TITANES II, A.I.E.

There's little suspense in the slap-dash plot, where they quickly win battles that sometimes seem almost mockingly staged and contrived (especially when the human armies cheer in victory after an enemy goes down). In the opening scenes, Persius defeats what looks like a giant, two headed, fire breathing bat. Much later, there's a brief encounter with a handful of huge cyclops, and then a ram-headed man. Meanwhile, Zeus quickly converts Hades with but a few words. Hades then quickly restores Zeus to health. Kronos (the grand finale) barely gets out of Tartarus before Persisus slays him with a supercharged spear that magically appeared just moments before he emerged from the abyss. In every case, the enemy is quickly put down or converted after making the obligatory, posturing delay that gives the heroes just enough time to find a solution. In an apparent attempt to balance the lacking suspense, they kill off most of the "gods", as if to exalt and liberate mankind. Conclusion: It's worth a home rental if you're bored, but may leave you disappointed if you expect too much.

I am a huge fan of greek mythology and am very familiar with the Gods and Goddess.. With that being said, I loved both movies. I thought it was brilliant and for those who said its hard to follow, well, thats just due to their incomplete understanding of the characters and their role in the story. It just angers me because both movies have spectacular plots and some arent able to appreciate it.

This movie forgets that Gods can't die. They are immortal so killing Zeus, Poseidon, Aries, and Hephaetus is illogical. I wanted to see Athena, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Hera especially Athena and how they would react to the war. I would loved to see Athena and Ares in battle. Perseus didn't experience any loss so showing only the heroic side is cliche, boring, and unrelateable. The movie should've killed his son or Andromeda since they are mortals. It would make Perseus motivated to fight.
