Saw this on IMAX 3D on Friday evening (which I have to admit, added a lot to it) and I'd be interested what other people think.
Personally I enjoyed it. If you take it for the nonsense that it is, and the liberties they take with Greek myths, it's spectacular stuff.
Waaa-yyy better than "Clash", with better 3D and effects.
Don't think it will do very well though at the Box Office, but it's a fun 99 minutes.
Can't help but admire a film that has Rosamund Pike(*sigh*) in a mini-skirted battle-dress, and has a climax where ...

Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson face-off against a mountain-sized lava man, with jedi knight powers. Great stuff!

I went to see it last night and thought it was about as enjoyable as Clash, maybe a small bit better. Worthington is still a bit of a wooden character, but him aside, there's a few that make up for him. Bill Nighty is brilliant, only plays a short part but he's quiet funny.
So good cast, great visuals, leave the brain at the door and don't expect too much from this and you might just enjoy it!

....... but Bill Nighy's Accent as Hephaestus, what was that all about.:eek:
And Rosamund Pike looked out of place, big time.:D

"Real D 3D" is just the type of 3D technology that is utilized in cinemas (projectors, glasses, etc...), it doesn't mean that the film was filmed in 3D if the film states that on the trailer/poster, as is the case here as 'Wrath of the Titans' is also a 3D conversion just like the first film, although the director claims that he filmed it with 3D in mind, so even though it's not true 3D it should at least be better than the 3D seen in 'Clash of the Titans'.
Purposely watched it in 2D (avoid 3D at all costs),
Thought it was slightly better then Clash, but not by much.
If you enjoyed Clash, you will enjoy this.
I enjoyed Clash, not the best film but I thought it was OK. I thought wrath was the definition of dullness. Nothing happened, and when there was action it was all done with that pathetic shaky camera, quick zooms thing that everyone seems to think is cool nowadays. It just lazy action scenes as no one needs to do anything.
I couldn't wait to leave this film.
It had a plot that was pretty thin and characters that i didnt care about at all.
Such a shame because Greek mythology has so much to give and this film does nothing with it.
Disappointing.
anf if WRATH is the same, i'll enjoy that as well!

Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was a terrible in 3D but I am sure that is "Real 3D" and not converted, but because most of it was shot at night then it made it unwatchable I took of the glasses and watched most of it with no effort.
John Carter was converted I believe though.
Correct, 100% converted.
As for Wratch of the Titans ........... the writing was a touch better than 'Clash ...' but that's not saying much. Overall the writing was poor to mediocre, and the direction was pretty lousy too.
Worthington was awful as usual, as were some of the supporting cast. But Neeson, Fiennes and the lovely Rosamund Pike did their best with the poor material given to them, and even they appeared to be struggling with the poor dialogue at times.
I'd love to see a proper Norse Myth film but sadly it won't happen.
It has some nice action sequences, and it looks pretty impressive in 3D on an IMAX screen. So if you can afford to see it in 3D, it's recommended.
And as others have mentioned, Bill Nighy's accent is rather special indeed!
Review here.
This completely put me on the back foot. I understand that for Ancient Greeks they have an eclectic bunch of accents, but Bill Nighy's just seemed wrong, why the hell did he put on a Yorkshire (ish) accent?
And even though many people seem to be saying if you liked the first one you will like this one, I can't disagree more sorry but it doesn't seem to be the case with me.

there is a site, fakeorreal3D.com, that tells whether a film is native or converted, but I do agree that they should state it someone at the cinema or poster or trailer anywhere to give people a better idea.
The only davalos I've heard of.

The CGI is much better too.
