CLASH OF THE TITANS

Girl’s OL: Sam Worthington is a hunk, but I definitely didn’t finish watching this.

Guy’s Jesus!... I mean Zeus!

Greek mythology has always been a source of good stories and stuff. One of my favorite video-games are the “God of War” series. Those games are a perfect example how to make the stories from the old greek scriptures fresh and a lot of fun. The original “Clash of the Titans” have become somewhat of a cult classic. I can see how but I was never a fan of this film, I was more into “Jason and the Argonauts”.

Now they’ve taken the hottest actor around (Sam Worthington) and thrown home straight in with the giant Kraken, some flying beasts, giant scorpions and a black pegasus. I think the movie did fine at the box office but it would not surprise me if it was a total bomb. I mean the movie is awful, very awful. I have no idea how they got Liam Neeson to play Zeus and I’m dumbfounded why Ralph Fiennes agreed to be Hades. Did they want to recreate “Schindler’s List” or something. They could have asked Ben Kingsley to play Poseidon, I bet he would have said yes. He seems to be making a lot of money driven choices lately.

This movie is barely good enough to watch just for the action sequences or the animation. The only half decent thing about this movie was the fight against Medusa. I think it’s like an hour into the movie so just skip the first couple of chapters. So to end this rant I want to say to everybody that is thinking about doing a greek mythology movie out there to think fresh. Do something new, even the Percy Jackson movie was better than this and that’s saying something.

Guy’s Rating: Awful, but I still feel that Sam Worthington will be a great action star in the future.
