Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/stabbing/disintegrating/burning/torture/medical

Here we go again: briefly; the world of persons have given up praying to the Gods of Olympus; so Zeus [Liam Neeson:] still the King of the Gods but things have changed since we were in this universe, goes to talk to one of his sons Perseus [Sam Washington:] now widower and father; Perseus declines to originally aid his father, but is Zeus is betrayed by family, Perseus with now and again Pegasus has no other choice but to do the right thing.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing; well it takes ages to get going in any way shape or form, you know when you have one of those scripts/storylines that just without any great focus just ambled along, well that is what we have here. It just for a heavy amount of this film never really gets going and then for some strange reason it catches the light and then; it is one of those awkward occasions where by the end of the film; in its entirety you are misled to think that was a solidly good film; when you have to remind yourself as it relates to the entire picture that; that is just a part of this sequel and when I say it catches a light I mean it doesn't mean like greased lightning, but things slot into place, which conversely move things with get up and go attitude.

Art and action; the vast majority of the art and/or action; well how can I put this nicely; they didn't look good when it was 2012 and as of this content being first created it is now 2025; they just look so bad from Perseus riding on Pegasus or the Cyclopses; just no thanks. It depends on how long some of you may be creating content, but those experienced ones of you would basically understand; there are essentially three options between good, bad and annoyingly there is some potential; anything around or/and based around Hephaestus [Bill Nighly:] a god or better known as the fallen one; he is the blacksmith to the other gods weapons and also architect; basically in a nutshell if it is made or built; it has probably been made or built by him: the Labyrinth is a good interpretation/representation of what they were going for here, the less I say about what is inside the Labyrinth the better as it was pointless having this version here and later on we get a very small sequence of Zeus and his brother Hades [Ralph Fiennes:] the God of the underworld and heavily responsible for this predicament the world is in right now; but these two brothers battle on the same side this which is obviously good but there is a much of it.

Comedy, character developments and performances; they tried this drop of comedy between Perseus and Pegasus which I don't really have given pointed out, because it sticks out like a sore thumb and it is really the kind of forced buddy; buddy comedy thing, like I said anything around Hephaestus arguing with Archimedes is comedy gold, Nighly took his character developments and made them into a lively performance; it is just highly disappointing that he didn't receive at minimum a positive nomination for his supporting role in this film and to be fair eventually the same can be said for Neeson and/or Fiennes: as in this sequel they give us more time with individually or/and together more time with these characters so that we can understand them and consequently connect with them; with these two brothers going off to put some foot to posterior like they used to when they were much younger; this is also comical. But I really couldn't care less for the chemistry between Perseus and Andromeda [previous film title: Alexa Davalos/this film title: Rosemary Pike:] this Princess turned Queen of Argos but saved Perseus when she was a princess has now got their own hands busy things. But the problem is they chemistry feels so lazy as they showed absolutely no signs of this earlier in previous title so it feels very much shoehorned in which comes off very cheap and tacky, but mine is that broadly speaking including these two performers in their character developments and performances are solidly good versions of what they are meant to be with performances that reflect that also.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; yes I had to remind myself of this entire film, yes absolutely there are some positives to it as you can clearly see/hear, usually I would have given a higher mark, but on remembering how for a heavy amount of the time it just ambled along without any conviction or/and purpose. I mean I watched this sequel like I did with the previous project/title and this individual asked me what was happening in this sequel, because they thought they had missed something and I had to reassure them that; no nothing has actually happened, so it isn't you, it is the sequel including this individual thinks I am rating this sequel too highly, I just put this in because it is interesting to give you a flavour of this sequel. This film also has some awards to its name and no they are not all positive either. 2 Winners that includes but not limited to BMI Film & TV Awards BMI Film Music Award 2012 Film Music Javier Navarrete. 3 Nominees MTV Movie + TV Awards 2013 MTV Movie Award Best Action Sequence and now negatively speaking; Razzie Awards 2013 Razzie Award Worst Supporting Actor Liam Neeson Shared with: Battleship
