What critics said

What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The plot combines Perseus, Zeus, Hades, Ares, Kronos, Tartarus, and other Greek mythic figures in a large-scale studio adventure.
Perseus begins as a village fisherman and single father before accepting his divine heritage and returning to a dangerous heroic quest.
Perseus and his allies travel through the cavernous underworld toward Tartarus to rescue Zeus and confront Kronos.
The film emphasizes Titans, monsters, divine powers, Tartarus, and 3D-oriented action effects as its primary visual attractions.
