CLASH OF THE TITANS Review

CLASH OF THE TITANS remake is not a junk but a yawn. Thank God I didn’t pay extra to watch it on 3-D. Is not worth your coins to see a classic remake being made to a 3-D mess. When I saw the trailer for the new Clash of the Titans in 3-D I thought it was going to be beyond epic - more monsters, more fantasy, more special effects.  I expected a LORD OF THE RINGS type of atmosphere.  But all you get is green screen computer generated few creatures, gigantic insects, some men dressed up in PARTY CITY HALLOWEEN MONSTER OUTFITS, men in cute skirts showing their fine ass thighs, cheap studio art direction, actors (Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson) playing tacky Gods - Zeus and Hades.

Sam Worthington as Perseus was okay - handsome aussie actor in skirt was cute, but HARRY HAMLIN as the original Perseus was better. The film was a bit slow especially the fight scenes between the Perseus and his men vs. the gigantic scorpions.  The only amazing scene I love of the whole is the Medusa fighting scenario. The computer generated Medusa I must admit was gorgeous. The romance innuendo between Perseus and Lo (Gemma Arterton) whatever. Perseus flying the black Friesian (computer cheesy generated wings), Perseus defeating Hades (GOSH) - Perseus fake crying over his foster parents when they drown in the ocean (TIRED) - Why wasnt Bubo the gold robotic owl throughout the remake, he only made a short special appearance.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK AMC… Save your coins - rent the original 1981 CLASH OF THE TITANS from your local library or Netflix and watch it. If you want to see the remake wait when it comes to DVD. Save your money…
