I skimmed this article briefly, and it seems that parts have been written in the style of a favorable review, particularly in the production section. If the writer makes any judgments whatsoever as to article content, the article cannot boast objectivity; just the facts, please. Does someone have time to give this article a look?

Otherwise, the parts that I read were informative and well-written.

I removed the POV tags, please be specific when presenting claims of bias.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 20:45, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Advanced techniques of cinematography experts." "Theseus is a well-known figure in mythology." "Among the great conquests of this film." The content and diction reflect positively upon the movie's production and story and thus are biased in favor of the movie; these excerpts are also vague and unsupported. I would have appreciated direct contact before you removed the tag.--Jp07 (talk) 04:12, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Also upon further review of the sources, the article makes many unverified claims. I have tagged them accordingly.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 13:07, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does "mixed to positive" really tally with a 33% Rotten Tomatoes rating? --Auqakuh (talk) 22:54, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The plot summary in this revision is a copyright violation and completely unacceptable to use in the article. It is illegal to use the synopsis from Universal Pictures verbatim. I've rewritten the summary to avoid this being a blatant copyright infringement, but if the illegal material is restored it should be reverted on sight.

Thanks for the helping hand! I will watchlist this article and make sure that there is not further copyright infringement. Erik (talk | contribs) 19:44, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Cavill claimed that Theseus isn't a demi-god on IGN's comic con interview. So while he clearly is in Greek mythology does this mean that in this film he isn't (partly) the son of Poseidon? If so this article needs to be updated to reflect that. Seos (talk) 15:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps they didn't want it to, or could not make it resemble Percy Jackson's Poseidon-ique origins. In any case, how can we be sure his mother told them the truth about being raped? How can we be sure she didn't lie in order to protect Poseidon breaking his oath to not interfere? Poseidon was the first to intervene to the protagonist's aid.79.112.119.69 (talk) 11:17, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is it just me or is the plot summary dripping with POV?

"In fact the Gods fighting ability is comparable to that of the Spartan's in 300 while the Titans are portayed as far less skilled like the Persian fighters from 300. This seems inconsistent with the storyline at the beginning which seemed to imply that the Gods and Titans were of somewhat equal fighting skills. Another strange thing is that the Gods kill nearly 16 Titans in the first 30 seconds of fighting when it appeared that the cage held only 25 Titans. Even after killing 16 Titans there appears to be way more than 9 Titans left."

It almost reads like a review of what happened in the movie, and I'd remove it but I'm a little too much of a wikinoob to do that without consultation. --Jono nz (talk) 10:17, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the opinion piece, and tagged the plot. At 1300 words it's over double the guideline of 400-700 words. Edgepedia (talk) 10:50, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was tired and did not see the whole movie but I noticed three things. There was an oily sea with some dumped sailors coated black, as if they got caught in a crude oil spill. The bull that people were cruelly heated in looked a lot like the Merrill Lynch bull, and it appeared that the filmmakers wanted to draw attention to this by panning its horns and head into the picture when it first appeared. In the opening scene the Titans are biting painted rebar, but I believe the oldest known sample of concrete dates only to Ancient Rome, and ferroconcrete probably came along much later.
