Wrath of the Titans (2012)
This is the two-headed dragon Sam Worthington fights as Perseus in
the 2012 Jonathan Liebesman film The Wrath of the Titans, which is a
sequel to the story Clash of the Titans, first told on screen in the
1981 Desmond Davis film with Laurence Olivier as Zeus and Harry Hamlin
as Perseus. I'm a big fan of that 1981 film and try to watch all the
remakes and rereleases derived from the story. I like this one a lot
too, but there are some differences worth mentioning. For some
reason, the winged horse Pegasus is now black instead of white. I'm
not sure that's an improvement, but the monsters are more truly
monstrous than they were in the 1981 film and Rosamund Pike is a
better Andromeda than Judi Bowker was because she is a real woman with a wide range of emotions, and not
just a fragile frightened beauty. Rosamund stamps with her sword among
the trees and rocks in her leather leggings and sandals like a regular
Amazon. She also has one of the best lines in the film: "We humans hope
when there's no hope, we believe when it's idiotic and sometimes we
prevail."
