On Hunger Games and Wrath of the Titans

Raven and I watched the Hunger Games and Wrath of the Titans on two consecutive weekends.

Hunger Games was a promising movie series. I saw the books in bookstores in Manila and SF and I heard about the movie from two office friends over lunch. I was afraid of Hunger Games-Twilight connection, but I guess its that that cheesy as that of the vampire-werewolf-human-love triangle. I believe I will watch the 2nd installment of the book in cinemas end of 2012.

Wrath of the Titans was a disappointment! I recently watched the Clash of the Titans via cable channel and it was a-OK. But Wrath offers no spectacular scenes or story. Being a bit of a Greek mythology fan, I am frustrated at the flow of the story and at most parts of the movie. Where is the Wrath they are talking about? Wrath of Kronus (he did not even cause that much destruction)? Perseus defeating Ares, the god of war on an armed combat? Zeus and Hades doing the walking and fighting scene? Lame if you will ask me!
