2. The first "Clash of the Gods" with a poor reputation is actually a fully qualified commercial work in my opinion. Aside from its criticized pseudo-3D, the story, details and momentum of the film are absolutely passable.
3. But what I really didn't expect is that when "Wrath of the Gods" arrives, all the excellent elements in the first part are completely lost, and nothing is left.
4. Plot: Although the plot of the first part is also very simple, the mode of breaking through the level will not make people feel boring at least. The famous characters and monsters in Greek mythology that appear in the film are very eye-catching. For example, Medusa's stunning appearance is very eye-catching. And when it comes to "Wrath of the Gods", the lively and interesting side branches of the above are gone, and the whole article is telling a "story" that is empty to the extreme. Many small stories and episodes in Greek mythology are actually useless, and they are not even as good as "Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire".
5. Characters: One of the things I appreciate the most about "Clash of the Gods" is that it portrays the images of the two main gods in Greek mythology well. Whether it is Zeus or Hades, both are very imposing. Zeus' silver light bodyguard and Hades' black mist shrouded it can be said to be more in line with the imagination in my mind. Among them, Hades, the Hades played by Ralph Fiennes, is a classic. Almost every appearance is majestic, especially when he arrives at the human palace, which is full of oppression and has a very divine temperament. Look at Zeus and Hades in "Wrath of the Gods", although their power is weakened due to the setting of the plot, they should never be such a useless and reluctant appearance. I really can't see the slightest bit of God's meaning. I really can't accept this. The waste of two powerful actors has to be said to be the biggest regret of this film. In addition, I can't accept Ares's shape and temperament at all. The dignified God of War is dark and gloomy, and he doesn't look mighty at all. Terrible.
6. Graphics: The level-breaking mode of the first installment guarantees a richness of battle scenes. I really did not expect that the battle scenes in "Wrath of the Gods" would be so simple. Recall that at the beginning, Perseus fought a two-headed beast (is it the guard dog of the underworld?), and then there was basically no large-scale battle, and the final boss battle was painless. It is estimated that it is due to its limited budget. Besides, the setting of the underworld is also relatively bad, not imposing or innovative, I don't like it very much.
ps: In a word, there is no way to know if the gods are angry or not, but at least this movie has done one thing: the audience is angry.
