He was one of the best things about Terminator: Salvation-one of the only good things about Terminator: Salvation-but he’s so pancake flat in Avatar that I kind of lost all hope in him, and his turn as Perseus here isn’t exactly bringing it back. I guess I should talk about the hero of the piece, shouldn’t I? I get why people want to equate him to Satan and all, but. but as far as I remember, Hades is never really up to any mischief in the mythology.
it’s hard to put a positive spin on Lord of the Underworld. (Er, the god himself, not the actor or character.) If Hades is in the script, then he’s the bad guy. I do feel a little bad for Hades, though. Hades is kind of a watered down version of Voldemort. Admittedly, the character doesn’t appear to have a ton of depth on paper, but Fiennes certainly doesn’t bring much to the table, either. But he’s also awfully cartoonish and two-dimensional. At least he bothers to have a semblance of a personality and, you know, facial expressions. which, unfortunately, isn’t saying all that much. įiennes also seems a touch more committed to his role than Neeson. Ralph Fiennes doesn’t look quite as silly as Liam Neeson. Did the costume designer lose a bet too?Ĥ. I really didn’t think anything could out-ridiculous Odin’s eyepatch from Thor, but Zeus here might have just proved me wrong. is that an AMERICAN BALD EAGLE behind Zeus? “Good Christ, I hate my life how did I get roped into doing this part again?” Maybe he lost a bet? Either that, or he was just so blinded by his own armor that he could hardly bother to concentrate on anything else. I mean, I know the guy can act, I know it, but in this movie, he’s just so. Liam Neeson, on the other hand? I’m pretty sure Liam Neeson was just there for the paycheck. I feel a little bad about that now because-even though the character totally deserved it-Luke Evans at least tried to give Zeus a certain amount of soul so that you could attempt to sympathize with him. I gave Zeus quite a bit of shit in my review for Immortals. If you look on IMDb, you can see who plays which God (apparently, Athena, Ares, Hermes, Hestia, Hera, Hephaestus, and Poseidon all make an appearance) but since no one is actually named, you really only know who Zeus and Hades (Ralph Fiennes) are.ģ. but Luke Evans is not left out of the fray! He plays Apollo in COTT for an entire seven seconds!Īnd just like Immortals, the gods in COTT are mostly used as set pieces rather than characters. In Clash of the Titans, Zeus is played by Liam Neeson. There will be no spoilers for either film.) See, in Immortals, Zeus is played by Luke Evans. well, forgive me, because I might compare the two of them quite a bit during this review. Atheist ancient Greeks and Olympians who don’t believe in interfering? Fucking please.Ģ. Oh, I get it! This is the Lost island, right? Right?Įven though I think it’s kind of a weird trend, this whole lack-of-faith thing actually plays much better in Clash of the Titans than it does in, say, Immortals, where the humans don’t even believe their gods exist and where Zeus refuses to a damn thing about it but pout and talk a lot of mopey nonsense. Especially when losing a hundred men just to knock over a fucking statue is considered a victory.
I just think they’re being a little short-sighted about this whole campaign against immortal beings thing. Maybe because the gods unnecessarily fuck with their lives on a daily basis? I mean, I get the humans have cause for being pissed. well, I’m not sure if one specific reason is given, honestly. Why is everyone so hellbent on making the ancient Greeks defy their gods? In Clash of the Titans, the humans have declared war on the Olympians, angry at them because. Fighting (and a lame self-identity crisis) ensues.ġ. Perseus (Sam Worthington) must kill Medusa so he can kill the Kraken so he can save the princess.
Hades god fucking dammit tv#
My stepfather just got a brand new, LED TV for Christmas. The very next day, I went up to my parents’ house for the holidays. Last week, while gently mocking the trailer for Wrath of the Titans, I mentioned that I would likely never watch the movie, as I’d never bothered to see the first one.
