Personally, I've had about enough of the Greek mythology movies that seem to be epidemic lately. But to be fair, Wrath of the Titans, sequel to last year's Clash of the Titans, seems to be a step above some of its recent company. Avastar Sam Worthington returns as demigod Perseus, who must defend his race against the uprising titans. It doesn't hurt that Liam Neeson, himself a figure beyond mortal, is back as Zeus, who instills in young Perseus that being half human makes him "even more powerful" than being a god. That's a message with some emotional weight. Maybe it's Marilyn Manson's cover of "Sweet Dreams" that really amps up the excitement of the trailer. But whatever it is, it works: the movie looks like it might be pretty cool.
Wrath of the Titans also stars Clashers Ralph Fiennes and Danny Huston, as well as Bill Nighy, Rosamund Pike, Toby Kebbell and Édgar Ramírez. The film reaches theaters on March 30, 2012.
