In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

As usual, I feel bad for not having seen the original "Clash Of The Titans" movie...or have I? I've just seen so many movies it's hard for me to even remember them all! Anyway, I didn't like this movie but it was really was at least better than I thought it would be. It's one of those leave your brain at the door films. That certainly doesn't make it good, but it's at least tolerable. This movie features Zeus' illegitimate son fighting the Kraken which Hades unleashes. I actually thought this was a really nice looking movie. The CGI is pretty impressive.There's a ton of fight scenes and they really aren't that bad. This is by no means a great movie, but if you're "really" bored, I might recommend it. The worst part is probably at the end when Hades finally appears to fight and he's defeated almost instantly. Also, the dialogue is pretty tacky especially between Zeus and Hades. It's really not much that hasn't been done in much better films. It at least looks nice but it's nothing to praise or hate. **1/2

Sir Laurence Olivier's film, with Maggie Smith, among other renowned actors, was a film with a script full of magic and fantasy, where the gods participate and have the role that is believed in Ancient Greece. In the new film, it is the same classic Hollywood mistake where the Greeks hate the gods. Perseus hates his father Zeuz, hates all the gods because they punish the men, and from there we go on a bad road. Zeuz can do whatever he wants, he is the creator of everything, therefore, he knows the fate of all men, of all Gods and can control it. I cannot believe that with the special effects we have, we have so bad stories that make the movies do not get that attraction of the viewer. I did not understand because there is no such respect from the original film for the creation of the new, tease the owl, pegasus now comes in black, kraken is a turtle with tentacles, I think the best thing about the movie is Medusa. In short this movie is a disaster.

"Clash of the Titans" (2010) provided everything its cover image and trailer promise, except for the part about authentic Greek Mythology, but if you can get past that you'll have a good time. The draw of the film is fast paced, adrenaline pumping action, a lot of tough guys & gals who never smile, and really cool monsters and special effects for 2010.It's rated PG-13 for some violence and gore, and there is no sexuality, nudity or profanity (except 1 awesome use of the word b*tch). The "violence and gore" is shot very fast, so even though it depicts people being ripped in half & such, it's not quite as disturbing as, say, a Quentin Tarantino film where you watch a guy slowly bleed to death for 15 mins. In other words, this is good stuff to watch with your teenage kids or puritanical parents, either way.There are some big names on the cast, and all performances were solid, but nothing really stood out as remarkable. That is to be expected in a fast paced film. But I would have preferred a powerful monologue or two just to use the talent to its full potential. I will say Ralph Fiennes did a chillingly original portrayal of "Hades", making him to be a twisted, limping, bitter wretch who still possessed terrifying power and fury. He is definitely my favorite part of the production.Now on to the bad, which others have covered in detail so I'll just graze over. If you think you can study for your Classical Literature exam by watching this, you're going to get flunked all the way back to James Whale's 1931 "Frankenstein" (the most successful yet inaccurate adaptation of literature ever). Different characters in mythology seem to have been transposed, juxtaposed and just plain posed for the sake of this 2010 story. The biggest liberty is that here our hero Perseus is fighting against the gods when the original literature shows that he was tremendously helped by the gods by being given special weapons and gifts. In this film he is given those same gifts which he indignantly refuses but then later sheepishly accepts them because they'll save his life. I'm not sure if that was meant to be hypocritical, ironic, or just a sloppy oversight in the screenplay, but it's worth noting. Just what exactly is this film saying below the surface? That humans have outgrown gods? Or that we ultimately still need gods?But for the most part, this gives us a decent taste of Greek Mythology which was truly the origin of the timeless scifi/fantasy/horror genre thousands of years ago. Chances are, most people will simply enjoy this movie for its action, fantasy and special effects. For that, yes, it delivers. But for literary accuracy... well I would be terrified to approach any literature teacher with the mere mention of this movie. That teacher would kick my Assaracus out of school and I'd be crying all the way Homer.

Clash Of The Titans is not as bad as people might tell you it's actually pretty cool it's kinda slow at times but still cool the film stars Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Nicholas Hoult, Ralph Fiennes, Mads Mikkelsen, Gemma Arterton, Alexa Davalos, Izabella Miko, Danny Huston, Jason Flemyng and Polly Walker and it was directed by Louis Leterrier. I think the acting was good not perfect but good. The effects were really great at times and poor at others. The action sequences were pretty epic and overall a fun movie to watch with a lot of action and some good effects definitely better than the rating it has. Loved it!!!!!!
