New featurette for Wrath of the Titans may sway you in its favor

A new featurette for WRATH OF THE TITANS focusing on one of the creatures from the film is pretty damn impressive and may well win you over in actually catching this in theaters.  There seems to be a very positive fanbase that’s looking forward to the sequel, but some, like myself, have been on the fence after the less-than-stellar CLASH OF THE TITANS.

However, the recent promos and trailers have left me making that weird frowny face/high eyebrows thing when something seems much better than you anticipated.  I did the same thing after watching this featurette.

Take a look:

I’m pretty impressed with the effects overall and I think a lot of it has to do with director Jonathan Liebesman, who I thought did a slick job on BATTLE: LOS ANGELES (and will soon bring Ninja Turtles from outer space).  The Chimera creature is just a really cool looking and skillfully portrayed beast, unlike the giant scorpions and stupid ass Krakken in CLASH.  WRATH OF THE TITANS has a more down-and-dirty feel to it and I have a feeling it’s going to be suprisingly good, leaving us all making that weird “frownybrow” face. 

WRATH OF THE TITANS opens on March 30, 2012.
