It was too hot to go home so we decided to watch a movie.

This movie is about Greek Mythology. I'm really not into that subject. It's a good thing I saw Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief so I was able to get a background on the gods. I think Percy Jackson is the modern Clash of the Titans.


I appreciated Sam Worthington here. I always thought he looked better as an avatar than in person but in this movie he looked good.


I guess I was super tired and sleepy that I couldn't help it I fell asleep. But it was for a short time. "idlip". I woke up and didn't want to miss a thing. The cinematography was great.


My grade for this movie is B.

A mixed bag.

I didn't really enjoy 'Clash of the Titans' but I didn't dislike it all that much either. The cast do alright, as Sam Worthington sticks out most - the rest kinda merge into one in my memory. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes feel very underused, in fact the parts of the story involving them onscreen didn't do anything for me - Worthington & Co.'s bits are far more watchable.

The special effects aren't the best, including those used for 'the gods'... though Fiennes as Hades looks fine enough. It's mainly the creatures that don't work as well, most notably for the giant scorpions on the wide shots. On that note, I did rate the long, sweeping shots that are used throughout... the music is strong too, I'd even say Ramin Djawadi's work is the best thing about this 2010 flick to be honest.

Not one I'd personally revisit... still gonna see what they did for the sequel, though.

I didn't see this in 3D but I did see it on a huge screen equipped with something called "SXHD" (Super X-Tra High Definition?) Anyway it looked great. Much of the scenery looked amazing and there were some breathtaking backgrounds. I am a fan of the original "Clash" and this remake is relatively faithful to the original. There are a number of changes in the story but I can't say I disapproved of them. They actually made for a more cohesive plot than the original had. This movie features a nice cast. Sam Worthington is Perseus and I like his brave stubborn and humble play on the character. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes also star as Zeus and Hades and they are not surprisingly all sorts of fun to watch. One outstanding thing this movie does is establish a group of sidekicks that aren't just fodder for monsters to destroy. Even though they don't survive they all get their licks in and its satisfying. Now I knew I was going to get lots and lots of CGI and yes it was plentiful. The more action/adventure movies I see the less patience I have for it. But I was able to like a bit of what I was subjected to. The Kraken when we do get a look at something other than its tentacles is impressively massive. And although the scenes with Medusa are not as suspenseful as the original they are good and Medusa is a cool creation here. Now for the bad...Hades can morph into some kind of winged bat-vampire creatures that gave me violent Stephen Sommers "Van Helsing" flashbacks. This movie is also filled with quick cut action scenes that are at times frustrating to try to watch. That aside you could do worse on a Friday night at the movies than the new "Clash of the Titans".
