Clash of the Titans (2010)

In this glorious remake of the classic film Clash of the Titans, Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation) plays the role of the brave demigod Perseus who embarks on an incredible journey to defeat the Kraken to set free man from the Olympian gods. Now many critics and audiences have panned this movie and gave it a bad review, but I am a big mythology freak and seeing creatures and settings, such as Medusa, the Kraken, River Styx, and the Stygian Witches, come to life on the big screen. It was also nice to see Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes playing the roles of Zeus and Hades respectively. They both portrayed their character with great emotion and depth, especially Ralph Fiennes who played the role with a sinister attitude and a voice that chills your bones. The other actors in the film do not shine very much unfortunately and Sam Worthington played another well played character, however the dialogue of this film made his acting fall. The dialogue in this film were a little cheesy and a cliche, but putting that aside, the pacing of the movie was excellent. It keeps you in the moment and won't let you go until the very end. The special effects in this movie are amazing, especially the shot of the Kraken looming over Argos. In general, this remake is not terrible, but it does however have many flaws that could have been fixed. And also the 3-D in this movie is not impressive at all. Because of the great success of Avatar's 3-D technology, many other movie companies have tried to convert their movies into 3-D, but they forgot the fact that Avatar was shot using a 3-D camera and was meant to be in 3-D from the very beginning and was never converted. Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures rushed the productions of Clash of the Titans and released the movie only a week after its original release date. In conclusion, if you are looking for a good action film that will entertain you, give this movie a try. Although it has it's many flaws, I ultimately enjoyed it as a mythology freak. I give it a 85 out of 100 because of its use of mythology, but a 60 out of 100 as a movie.
