Cast revealed for Clash of The Titans sequel...*SIGH*

I don't even understand why this film made as much as it did. It was terrible. But, there were people out there who liked it, and WB can't argue with the results it garnered. Anyway, here's the synopsis for the film, along with some casting news:

A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius. Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld. Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth. Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

Whatever, you know? I can't believe a part of me was excited for the first film. In my defense though, the trailer did look pretty badass. It's actually quite funny; the fact that the original film was made eons before any of this '3D' shit existed, years before the Fleshlight, but it still held up pretty well- it still does, to this day. But that's how it is. You hand a child a ball with a trillion dollars, he's gonna make shit for a film. Not that's an exaggeration. It wasn't that bad, it had good FX, but it's got nothing on the original. Check out my review HERE. Kazed

Kazed Reviews: Tron: Legacy (2010)

Synopsis: The son of a virtual world designer goes looking for his father and ends up inside the digital world that his father designed. He meets his father's creation turned bad and a unique ally who was born inside the digital domain of The Grid. What a film. So it wasn't that strong story-wise, but visually, hot damn it was amazing. I suppose, in many ways, it could be compared to Avatar, in the sense that Avatar was all pretty and no story. You sort of get lost within this vast world that's been created (The Grid), so you tend not to notice the shitty story that's going on. Okay, okay, that's a little harsh, it's not shitty, it just lacked depth, there wasn't enough going on, it was like this one thing happening. My mind needed more. It demanded more. It demanded Inception. Inception of a freakin better story. Again, it wasn't that bad, but what made it worse was the ending. Seriously, the ending was a mega wtf moment. In a way, it was good, because it didn't leave much for a follow up to this film. What was commendable though, was the score to this film. Not at all a fan of Daft Punk, but the music was laced incredibly well with the film, and mixed with the intense action scenes within 'The Grid' was certainly an interesting combination. So: "Is the film good?" Yeah, it's a good watch if you're looking for badass music and amazing action scenes within an incredible 3Dimensional universe. Lacks a little depth in the plot department, but I don't know why the ending was how it was. It made sense why it was there, but it shouldn't have been the ending. My two cents. 6.5/10 from me.

The Avengers(2010) Logo Teaser

This is interesting. It's not a lot, but it's definitely something. It features Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, talking about The Avengers. It's pretty badass.

Love it. Kazed

Iron Man 2 review

Synopsis: The world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the armored Super Hero Iron Man. Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces. - RottenTomatoes.com So there I was, sitting in the theatre, waiting for the film to start, waiting for the god forsaken commercials to cease their stupidity. 22 Minutes from the advertised start time, the film actually starts. So it begins, but I'm not disappointed, just slightly let down by the first half of the film. The opening scene introducing Stark/Iron Man was pretty impressive, I thought the entrance was quite cleverly done, with the whole expo revolving around Stark, just showed how huge his ego was made out to be. As a whole, the effects were sensational, and a lot of the time found myself concentrating more on the visuals rather than the film itself. Robert Downey Jr did a good job of keeping his role consistent with the first, but maybe overdid it a little, as it seemed as though his improv-style was losing it's charm. There were scenes where it worked incredibly well, but others it just seemed a little too improvised, talking over some of the other cast members, seeming a little unplanned. The fight between the two protagonists seemed so entirely unnecessary to me (much like the strut/dance in Spider-Man 3), but fortunately, everything following this moronic segment were the best parts of the film. Seeing Stark in a different light was quite insightful, and definitely put is character in perspective. Mickey Rourke as Whiplash was such a great casting decision, but it was a shame that he had no more than 15 minutes screen-time. What a shame. When I'm asked about Iron Man 2, I say "It was good, had it's highs and lows, but it wasn't better than the first". There we have it. With overall solid performances, great additions from Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson, maybe a little too much going on character-wise, Iron Man 2 was a good film, but unfortunately falls short of it's predecessor. Still gets a 7/10. Kazed.
