What did you guys think of the movie? And is it me or weren't the titans taller than humans in greek mythology? Having not followed greek mythology for a long time, I dont remember all the lore behind the movie.

For a movie it was ok. Story line was pretty decent, the actors were cool. But does it follow the actually greek mythology?

This movie was terrible. Long and drawn out it was probably 45 minutes longer than it needed to be.

I didnt think it was too bad. But did it follow any of the mythology though? Thats more interesting.

my favorite Greek Mythology stories were the ones about Theseus.

the movie did not reflect any of those as far as i know and left
me feeling especially disappointed.

in retrospect, though, i cannot recall how the movie ended. laugh

It had some gory fights and cool effects done in a specific style, which is about what I expected so I liked it. I didn't watch it thinking it would be some mind-blowingly epic movie.

I know I saw it, but hardly remember anything about it. Not the mark of a great movie.

It was a "pretty" film, but the script was simply terrible.

Why are the Gods called 'Immortal'? They certainly die easily enough at the hands of each other and the Titans. The word 'Immortal' has a meaning in our language, and it certainly doesn't entail dying.

For a movie it wasnt too bad. But I just wasn't sure it followed the whole greek mythological storyline. But if I remember right werent titans supposed to be bigger/taller than humans? This movie was weird in that the titans were held in a box with like 16, but when it was opened hundreds came out. I was like wth could have just made the box bigger.
