You may be asking yourself, the first one was so bad why would anyone bother to see a sequel (nevermind make one)? And I would say, good question. I can only answer for myself, and in this case it was free and who am I to turn down a screening for a free fantasy-action flick? And I kept telling myself, it could not possibly be worse than the first one...
I think it might be tied. Cheesy dialogue aside, the movie starts and we meet up once again with Andromeda and... wait a second... totally different actress! Instead of the brunette Alexa Davalos we now have a blond Rosamund Pike. And the movie continues with a string of confounded plot points and anti-climatic moments. Throw in some weird deja vu to Star Wars, and a Balrog, and the film is complete. Hands down best part was Bill Nighy as Hephaestus.
The one good thing was that I managed to make it all the way through a 3D movie without getting a headache! Yay!
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
