I just watched Wrath of the Titans and remembered how damn generic a fantasy movie this was. Clash was a bit too, but Wrath took the piss with it. Nothing about this movie screams antiquity in the slightest. Bill Nighy was basically just Jetfire from Transformers 2. Villain is a big rock lava monster. The small monsters are literally the Chitauri?

I finished the movie 20 minutes ago and I could not tell you what happens in the first third of it.

It’s riddled with 2010s era action movie tropes. Hero saying “oh come on, you gotta be kidding me!” Dafuq. I don’t need him to speak Ancient Greek but can Perseus please not sound like a Will Smith hero circa 2005? If Perseus had said “I’m putting together a crew for one last job” it wouldn’t have felt out of place for this movie.

Can you guys think of some movies as generic as this? Like just one predictable trope or line after another, no soul to the story, interchangeable monsters, etc
