A Greek Mythology Movie Is A Netflix Hit Despite Its 26% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Although the film is critically panorated when it appeared in 2012 – yes, it has only 26%approval in Rotten Tomatoes – Jonathan Liebesman’s Peplum movie “Titans’ anger“attracts the general public to Netflix.” Titans’ anger “is a sequel Louis Leterrier’s 2010 Ruma -AS 3D movie “Titans Clash” The high -octane latest Glittering 1981 from the Fantasy Epic event, directed by Desmond Davis, and starring Harry Hamlin.

All three films apply to the adventures of the Greek hero’s Perseus, which Sam Worthington has played in a reproduction. In the “Titans’ Clash” section, the adventures of Perseus include some of what you remember about studying Greek mythology at primary school. She is a illegal son of Zeus, born to the human woman Danae. He is growing, raised by fishermen in the city of Argos. When he turns 18, the king of Argos and the queen have won war to the gods, slicing their anger. Hades (Ralph Fiennes) appears in court and says they have to sacrifice Princess Andromeda (Alexa Davolos) or otherwise liberalizing the Kraken, a giant sea monster. Liam Neeson plays at Zeus, and Perseus fights Medusa. Gemma Arterton plays IO, and Mads Mikkelsen, Nicholas Hoult, Pete Postlethwaite and Jason Flemyn have small roles.

The movie is terrible, but it made more than $ 493 million in the box office (!), That is, the sequel was inevitable. The extension of the Greek myth is a strange wrinkle: the gods lose their power because people have stopped praying for them. One might think that faith was easy to come in the universe with Krakes, Gorgon and personal gods, but never care. Hades and Ares (Édgar Ramírez) start stealing Zeus Thunderbolt and … Well, the plot continues Apace.

It’s all very unintentional.

The plot, return to it, resembles more search query video game than any ancient texts you can face. Zeus now says the 10 -year -old Perseus that if the gods lose their strength, the walls of the tartarus will fall, releasing Titan Kronos, such a strong creature that it can destroy the world and pour the mountain of Olympus. Hades and Ares have signed an agreement on Kronos; When he is released, they remain immortal in exchange for the force they can siponia from Zeus’s body. Perseus must face Kronos himself. His goal is to assemble a trium spear, a weapon made of Zeus’s thunder, Hades tune and Poseidon’s trid. It is not much more sophisticated than to control the Master Sword “Zelda legend”.

Andromeda is back, now Rosamund Pike. Danny Huston plays Poseidonia, and Billy Nighy plays hefa. There are also cyclops, minotauries and other divine beings.

The film is muddy, visually unclear and is largely general. The “Titans” versions were clearly made as a result of Zack Snyder’s “300” success and has the same ultra -style, ultra -small trap in the same movie. Worst, it doesn’t seem to say much. There is a vague theme in a world that develops into the work of faith, but it was not really studied. It is also an illogical theme in a world where the gods are very real and prove their direct influence on the human world on a daily basis.

Sam Worthing has gained a bad reputation by playing thick -headed action heroes in movies like “Terminator: Salvation” and “Avatar” movies. Worthington is actually a capable performer who took many action/genre films that did not demand much of him. “Titans” films only require him hard and quiet.

It seems that it was enough to earn “anger” for $ 302 million in box office revenue and new life streaming. So what do critics know?
