In one word? BO-RING!

Rating: 4/10 (3 July 2010)

And if an action movie is boring, it simply is a failure. Where to begin? This movie is a mass of sloppy clichés: the righteous hero; the quest for revenge; the disposable secondary characters who happily die helping him; the stereotyped evil, infamous and power thirsty nemesis; the happily ever after finale; and so forth. The fact that half of the actors speak British English and the other half American English didn't help much in making their Greek mythological characters particularly credible (to my ears at least). Furthermore, those characters are simply too plain and shabby: no depth, no attitude, bare and completely forgettable (every single one of them). The action scenes are ill conceived and even worse executed. The direction wasn't able to give a sense of continuity and seamless and gradual flowing to the story: it feels almost like a series of separate episodes (badly) glued together (which is also reflected by the cinematography: bleak and dark settings, then sunny and idyllic ones...). The CG is there and is not so bad in itself, but it doesn't help at all: almost feels like out of place and unnecessary.
I was actually falling asleep while watching this...
One of the worst movies I've watched in the last few months: don't bother with it. 4.5/10
