A new evil threatens the land eons after the Gods have won their struggle against the Titans. Corrupt with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) declares war against humanity. Forming a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares.
Only the one who possesses this bow can free the Titans, who thirst for revenge, having been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time. In the king's hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man's conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion...until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope.
Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes. Rallying a band of fellow outsiders—including visionary priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and cunning slave Stavros (Stephen Dorff)—one hero will lead the uprising, or watch his homeland fall into ruin and his Gods vanish into legend.
why did the gods in this movie wear such funny hats?? not very good overall, but i did enjoy watching mickey rourke act crazy.
filmed very dark and hard to see action. i think they do this to cover up filming. story was slow at times. trailer makes it look likes its full of action from beginning to end, not so.
i really liked this movie. i thought mickey rourke did a fantastic job as the villain, king hyperion. i agree with someone else out there that the titans werent portrayed very well, but i think they were still trying to give them a once mortal/human- esque feel to them much like the gods themselves, not the cartoonish monsters we should see in wrath of the titans. even if you look at how the legends are made, this movie did a clever job of showing you how these actual events transcend through the ages and become almost surreal compared to their actual feats. i think for those turned off by violence and gore, going to see a greek mythology movie should be taken off their must see lists, it
