'Wrath of the Titans' offers more clash than predecessor

There’s more clash but not much wrath in the latest sword, sandals and demigod flick, Wrath of the Titans.
Once again starring Sam Worthington as Perseus, half-god son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), the sequel to the 2010 pseudo-Greek mythology Clash of the Titans remake focuses on Worthington as a fisherman father attempting to live a life of peace with his son Helius (John Bell). But Perseus the Kraken-slayer is called back into action when Papa Z is betrayed and captured by his Uncle Hades (Ralph Fiennes) and half-bro Ares (Edgar Ramirez) in a plot to zap the daddy deity of his powers and resurrect uber-god Kronos.
Supposedly the human and godly race were already in danger of extinction by giant magma-man Kronos before the Hades/Ares team-up, so why the big K needed their help is sort of lost in the (lack of) details. But the thrust of the movie is that Perseus has to assemble a god-killing weapon and fight his way through mini-bosses (chimera, Cyclops, Minotaur, machai, oh my!) before a big showdown with Kronos. Along for the ride is another half-god Agenor (Toby Kebbell), Andromeda (Rosamund Pike) and Hephaestus (Bill Nighy).
