Clash Of the Titans (2010)

The Humans were tired of the tyranny of the Gods hence as in the case with any civilization,they revolted. Hades confronts Zeus and asks to allow him to strike fear into the heart of humans hence restoring their faith in Gods. Hades plans on unleashing the Kraken,a huge demonic beast born from the flesh of Hades,even the Gods where afraid of it. The prayers of the humans were what kept the Gods immortal,but it was their fear that made Hades stronger. As he plans an attack at Argos and Zeus, what he doesn't realize is Zeus has a Demi God son Perseus who is unaware of his father.

The king of Argos King Cepheus begs Perseus to help him after learning about his demi God status. Hence begins the grueling journey of Perseus and his team to find the witches and then the head of Medusa-the only way to kill the Kraken. Sam Worthington has done a fantastic job as usual and I don't have to tell you anything about Liam Neeson's part as Zeus,he is a God in the movie alright.
Medusa








The background music by Hans Zimmer is something that suits the theme of the movie,not too loud but amazing music. 
Watch out for the scene in the heavens when Apollo suggests something to Zeus. Luke Evans who played Apollo here,also played the part of Zeus in the movie "Immortals" released in 2011. 
The action sequences in this movie are amazing,each sequence has a different enemy with different kind of powers. 



Perseus And Zeus ( Liam Neeson)
A movie worth your time. The sequel is also good and gives more exposure to Zeus.

Troy (2004)

This movie, is all BRAD PITT! He has shown in this movie who's the boss. The whole movie revolves around the war erupted between the Trojans and the Greeks because of Trojan Prince Paris eloping off with the queen of Sparta Helen. The furious King of the Greeks Agamemnon wants to take this event as an excuse to defeat the Trojans once and for all. Brad Pitt Playing the role of Achilles acts as the Hero of the Greeks. And Prince Hector( Eric Bana) as the champion for the Trojans.The ending saddens me a bit but that's okay. An epic movie set in the year 1250 B.C. A movie worth watching even twice.
