The Clash Becomes the Wrath

     This just released film is the sequel of The Clash of the Titans. In this second part, the story has changed a little bit, different girl, new demigods, and our hero is a father. However, the main characteristic of the series is still there: family problems and misunderstandings. Moreover, this time the enemy alliance is formed by Hades and Ares. If you can recall, you will remember that Perseus was the son of Zeus. So, that fact sort of makes him Ares’ brother. My point with this is to make clear that this movie is all about brothers’ revenges. Hades wants to kill Zeus for betraying him in the first movie; and Ares wants to kill Perseus because he is just jealous that Zeus gives more attention to Perseus than to him. Wait, there is more, this time the bad guys are not just trying to fulfill their dreams. This time the two gods are going big, they want to release Cronus, most powerful titan ever and father of Zeus and Hades, in order to destroy their brothers. Anyways, I’m going to tell you something; if you watch the trailer, it is awesome, like I would even nominate the trailer for best movie of the year, and it is not even a movie. The movie, on the other hand, is not really what I expected to watch. It just lacks some sense of what a human, even a demigod, is able to do. For that I mean that Perseus being the only one able to kill Cronus is not quite believable, even for mythology or science fiction.
