The film still maintains the high-level first-line cast and large-scale special effects of the previous film, but despite the change of director, the film still has no dramatic tension, and the dialogue is dull and watery. The villain in this episode should be Hades, Hades, but Hades is not firm, and Hades’s nephew’s anti-bone treatment is too pure and natural, so a massive conspiracy has become a cheating and anti-rebellion. Cheating obstacle comedy.
"War of the Gods" and this "Wrath of the Gods" are full of blockbusters, the props, sets and special effects, and the film is fully in line with the standard of landscape films. Probably because of too much scolding in the previous work, the 3D effect of "Wrath of the Gods" has been significantly enhanced, and many action scenes make people feel like stones are on the scene. But a blockbuster film cannot attract audiences and gain reputation by relying on its visual landscape alone. In the film, "I don't like to listen to long talks" and "I didn't even want to say" these kinds of mentally retarded dialogues abound, and the naive lines are not proportional to the skillful special effects.
"Thor" once set a good example of the theme of gods and ghosts, and handled the emotional clues between father and son and brothers in Shakespeare's drama model. "The Wrath of the Gods" is more like an overlord's hard bow, and he hits the bow from beginning to end, without even arching fire. The story lacks foreshadowing, and the lines mixed with water make the spectacular hand-to-hand combat very weak. Despite the earth-shattering battles on the screen, the story has nothing to do with the audience.
If the style of "Clash of the Gods" is aimed at "Saint Seiya", then "Wrath of the Gods" is aimed at "Lord of the Rings". In the sequel, many visual effects elements from "Lord of the Rings" appeared, and elements such as giants, balrogs, and hell volcanoes took turns to give their lives. It's just that the film seems to be on a tight budget, and it looks very effective. The screen ratio of this film is 1.85:1, which is rarely used in blockbuster films. This screen ratio is more suitable for movies with more literary dramas. However, 3D movies have a depth inside and outside the viewing frame, and sharing them will turn weaknesses into advantages. Unfortunately, the film maker did not have the ambition to innovate in the technical field. The film maker just hopes to take advantage of the fact that 3D and IMAX are still making a fortune. So the film presents a more filed side, a large number of mid-to-near shots make this film lacking in literary play or even serious lack of dialogue appear to be complacent, and the poor budget makes the battle scenes limited. Compared with "Lord of the Rings", "Wrath of the Gods" can only be regarded as a copy of the special effects stick.
There are still acting stars such as Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, and Ralph Fiennes as the actors of the film. However, the director is too weak, and several stars can't perform one-thousandth of their acting skills. For Hades and Zeus's rivalry, the dialogue and performance of the two are completely at the level of soap operas. The brighter performances in the film are two supporting roles, one is playing the blockbuster Toby Kebbel, the son of Poseidon, and the other is Rosamund Pike, the temperament beauty of Andromeda. It's a pity that no matter how hard the supporting role is, it can't save a bad movie.
"Rage of the Gods" is a purely visual bombing movie. Fans who expect the great plot and dialogue to bring shock and tension will be doomed to disappointment. The film sells 3D landscapes and visual effects. But at the same time, the overly piled action scene lacks refreshing innovations and can't leave enough impression on people.
