Lots of action

The humans wage war on the Gods, and in order to succeed, the Demi-god Perseus, son of Zeus, goes off to find and kill the Kraken. So far so good, but if my memory of history lessons serves me right, the Kraken belongs to Scandinavian mythology. It allegedly resides outside the coast of Norway... To be fair, the Greeks had grand monsters too. The fight a two-faced coin; Zeus gave life to humans, but he is also dependent on their love and worship.
It's an epic movie of an epic tale. Grand sceneries and battle scenes. Love, death, and danger. I, however, found myself cheering on the Gods and not the humans. I realize that Perseus is supposed to be the hero of the story, but it's not really working out. I don't know if it is the actor or the script, he just doesn't do it for me.
