Action film offers little in the way of plot, performance

One of the reasons we go to the movies is to escape. We want to go to a place that is different than the one in which we live. Sometimes, we want to watch someone do something that neither we nor anyone else could ever do. It doesn’t need to be challenging. It doesn’t need to be inspired. We just want to get away for a while.

Big, dumb and loud will never go out of style.

That’s not a value judgment – I love getting simple and explode-y as much as the next guy. However, all big action epics are not created alike. Sometimes, they work wonderfully. Other times, something is missing and the film never quite clicks.

Unfortunately, “Wrath of the Titans” falls mostly into the latter category.
