Release the Kraken

Release the Kraken! Is that all that you got?! Awww....come on. I trust there should be something else that you can give with an umph! Well, eventually the movie itself answered my tempted mind. It scored B-.

Was it because most of the storyline resembled Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief which I saw earlier. The journey. You know la. A mission. A voyage to rescue a princess, to safe the world from devastation. Well, honestly speaking Percy was stiff. I even got mad at him for being so wimpy. But Worthington, he can do something worthy more. I know he can, like in Terminator and definitely Avatar. Perhaps Titans can be as long as LOTR if they want to put in every bit of the details but they squeezed in everything in a rather short and premature slots.

Even Mr. Kraken himself appeared in a very short while as compared to those giant scorpion fight scenes and Madusa chase. Nothing of the above lifted my feet off the plush carpet. Why must Perseus gave a chase with Hades's demonic archangle for Medusa's head too long rather than showing he fights Kraken more? Kraken have been waiting all these years deep in the ocean floor for this moment, but what he gets was a 3 minute slot and ends up being a stone. His manager should fight more for him.

Enough said. I don't want to break weekend moviegoers' appetite for Greek mythology. Well, at least now I have more understanding of the myth itself. Watching it way back in 1981 was more like appreciating the special effects - I was only 10 years old ok. If I were to pick movie of the week, I'd chose How to Train a Dragon. At least it soaked my eyes and made me giggle more than once. Next, I'm counting on Mr. Tony Stark himself. Go! Ironman! Go!

  1. Ironman is a movie worth watching. Its like a 'humanoid Transformer'…you know a human robot. I think this could be the weapon of the future, seriously.

    I told you Titans is a disappointment.

    In the meantime, I have Grey's Anatomy to watch while doing crunches and squats. Hehehe…

  2. Titans collected 61.2mil throughout the weekend. That's unbelievable, considering the disappointment.

    Ironman? He's my favourite besides Spidey, Hulk, Deadpool, X-Men, Avengers, Spawn. I still have 10 years worth of comicbook collection. Thinking of selling...hmmm.
