The best films about gods and titans: list, review, plot and interesting facts

Nothing can cause a fan of mythology greater interest than films about gods and titans. The list of them in the cinema is not that big, because the subject is narrow. But worthy paintings began to appear since the end of the twentieth century. Review them for the sake of a fantastic plot, the adaptations of the myths of ancient Greece and beautiful special effects.

First pictures

At the end of the last century and at the beginning of the new, the first films about gods and titans appeared on the screens. The list was opened by the picture "Jason and the Argonauts". It tells of a young king who was deceived by the deceitful throne. He made it his own uncle, and he sent a young warrior to certain death in search of the Golden Fleece. Pelius told Jason that when he extracted the artifact, he would be restored to the throne. Therefore, the hero called all the best fighters under his banners and set out on a deadly campaign.

The second film, released a little earlier, is called "Odyssey". The story tells about the hero of the same name, who with his team returned to his native Ithaca after the conquest of Troy. The man was proud of his skills and cunning in such a way that he challenged the gods themselves. For this Poseidon decided to punish the insolent and condemned him to the years of travel on the water with all sorts of difficulties, battles and troubles. At this time, his wife is waiting for the faithful wife of Penelope with the son of Telemachus and hopes for his return.

Picture of Hercules

In 2014, the film "Hercules" was released, which immediately entered the category "Best movies about the gods and the titans." List of exploits of this character is known to all lovers of mythology. Here the story got a very different interpretation from writers and directors. Hercules is a great hero, who, after losing his family, is not interested in anything but permanent bloody battles. A man around him assembled several such skillful fighters, eager to constantly be in mortal danger.

Once the Thracian king Cotis invited the detachment to himself and offered a deal. For a good amount, he asked to train his fighters, and the heroes agreed. Only now they did not know the real aims of the cunning ruler. The victims of his raids and conquests were innocent citizens of neighboring countries. Seeing this, Hercules decided to prevent King Cotis from conquering the world and turning his eyes to Olympus. At this moment, his real struggle for the restoration of justice begins. Do not confuse this picture with another work about the hero, which happened this year. It tells a completely different story. The picture received many negative reviews, and therefore was not included in the category "Best movies about the gods and the titans." The list will continue with tapes that intertwine Titanomahia and the heroic epic.

"Clash of the Titans"

The first part of the saga of the battles Perseus called "The Battle of the Titans" perfectly complemented the category "The best films about the gods and demigods." The list of heroic actions of the character here is perfectly intertwined with the fictional events of the struggle of Aida against Zeus. His revenge the god of the underworld began with people, and to calm him, it was decided to sacrifice Andromedra - beloved Perseus and daughter of one of the kings of Ancient Greece.

To save the girl and mankind, the hero accepts the offer of his father Zeus about the rescue campaign. After recruiting the team, a campaign began to the gate of Tartarus. Towards the brave ones, Hades sends Medusa to the Gorgon, who turns all living things into stone at a glance in the eye. Perseus needs her head, because the god of the underworld is going to free the main monster of Kraken to destroy the earthly world.

"Wrath of the Titans"

After a fight with Kraken, Perseus settled with his wife in a small village, where he decided to start a quiet life. Suddenly, the hero learns that the insidious Hades this time joined with Ares, and together they decided to take Zeus prisoner. The painting "Wrath of the Titans" continues the story of the hero and complements the category "Films about the gods of Olympus" (Titans). The list of characters who have entered the new rescue team will impress any lover of myths. On the side of Perseus, God appeared Hephaestus, the son of Poseidon Agenor and his beloved wife Andromedra. Together they have to interfere with the plans of Ares and Hades.

Traitors conceived to release the only worthy opponent for the thunderer - titan Kronos. He was thrown out and captured in Tartarom at the time of Titanomah, but now the chains can be opened. If this happens, then humanity will be threatened with extinction, just like the gods of Olympus themselves. Perseus will again show his skills and win in an unequal battle.

Percy Jackson saga

Two films "Percy Jackson - the thief of lightning" and "Percy Jackson and the sea of monsters" presented viewers with an interlacing of modernity and ancient mythology. These pictures showed how interesting films can be about gods. The list of the best has replenished them after numerous flattering reviews of critics and spectators.

The plot of the second part will force Percy to go to the rescue to a friend Grover, who was captivated by his cyclope Polyphem on his island. To get to its territory, it is necessary to go almost the same way that Odysseus returned home.

"War of the Gods: Immortals"

A list of films about gods, titans and demigods in 2011 was supplemented with a picture called "The War of the Gods: Immortals." In the story, King Hyperion tries to take over the whole world and rule alone without the rulers on Olympus. To achieve his goal, he decides to release the Titans, who after Titanomahia were captured in the underground world of Tartarus. With the help of the epic bow of the war god Ares, he releases them from prison, and now the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of the young hero Theseus.
