The predecessor of this film is the battle of the gods, relying on Greek mythology with great connotation, some overhead designs and special effects of standard Hollywood industrial processes, and achieved a certain market success. Although the plot is flat or even a bit rough, it finally met the filmmaker's expectations for the box office, so there is this even more so-called sequel.
Greek mythology is a huge polytheistic system. However, in the previous work, it only focused on the gods Zeus and Hades, and the game between the gods was not reflected at all. The plot's reliance on mythology is also very weak. This work completely inherited this shortcoming. Ares, who was unknown in the previous work (without even showing his face), jumped out to become the second boss. Poseidon played soy sauce, plus the original Zeus and Hades. . . How come there are just so many? What about the standard gods of Greek mythology such as Athena, Hera, and Hermes?
In the previous work, Hades was positioned as a vicious and vicious quasi-boss character who was unhappy that he had only acquired the land of the underworld, so he plotted to overthrow Zeus and replace him. It is the only villain in the previous work, positioned as a conspirator and a careerist. But in this work, Hades was at the last moment, and because of Zeus' apology, he came to repentance and stood on his brother's side again. This treatment is a devastating blow to the image of Hades that the series has always shaped. I don't know much about his transformed inner world. Could it be that Hades is so depraved and vicious because he lacks an apology from Zeus?
The same dislocation is reflected in Ares, who turned against the water because he was jealous of Zeus' love for the male protagonist. But it is incomprehensible that a son's hatred of his father can be so thorough. In the film, Ares unconditionally guides Cronus, tortures Zeus unconditionally, and resolutely pursues and kills the male protagonist and his party. In the process of watching it, I kept sighing, this son and a father, what kind of hatred and what kind of hatred, why is it like this?
Dislocations have also occurred in the previous three works, from a weak princess who is ignorant of world affairs, to a queen who commands thousands of troops, and then to the goddess and stepmother who gets the male lead. . . .
Personally, I think this is the biggest problem with this film. The worldview and characters have not been well maintained, let alone a benign development. The follow-up creators hoped to create a big scene, so they pulled in completely unreasonable characters (such as Ares), and in order to achieve a better result, they artificially turned key characters against the water. The whole plot is very strange and rough, and the special effects are not very good. In the end, the boss is really a weak wife.
In terms of advantages, I like the ending of this story. All the gods who are considered immortal for all eternity die or retire. The era of mythology is over, and from now on, the world is truly dominated by human beings. This should be the biggest advantage of dealing with it. . . There shouldn't be a sequel to this game.
