It's flawed that Perseus (Sam Worthington) had a buzz cut. They give him long hair in the sequel but never thought of it in this film. While Ralph Fienes would make a good Hades if they didn't overly Voldermort him. He has the same exact voice. So hard not to think Voldermort.
This remake has better effects than the original of course. Also a fine cast. Yet the original is less dull. You'll have more fun if you just watch The Mummy.
Excellent movie. Well done for it year. Love it!
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".
That was cool to review Greek Mythology and Perseus. Fair remake of the 81' movie.
Entertaining action flick, although I have to admit that I like the mystical setting of the film and that if that weren't the case I would probably call it a mediocre flick!
Crap of the Titans? Not quite. But at the same time, it's kind of forgettable. As Worthington describes it, it's a "popcorn flick". Take from that what you will.
great line of cast with some disappointed editing.but still watchable in the battle scene.
i´m no expert in greek mythology but simply seen as a movie it was entertaining. Nothing special though in terms of FX or acting.
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.
Not as magical and imaginative as the original but still a feast for the eyes that was worth remaking.
I think this movie really gets a bad wrap. Sure it’s not going to be one of the most memorable films made but if you are looking for a night in, watching a fun popcorn film you could really do a lot worse than Clash of the Titans.
I had stayed away from this for so long because of the reception it received but would happily watch again.
"I'd rather die in the mud with those men than live forever as a god."
I absolutely love Greek mythology, so it breaks my heart to say this isn't it, chief. Let me take that back: It is a fun movie with Greek mythology all over.. but it is written poorly and the CGI is not great. I still want more Greek Mythology movies, just done well.
No man can stop a god, but Twitter sure can, because Zeus is cancelled.
I haven't seen this since cinema and it still hasn't aged well. Also every time a character says 'Argos', I keep thinking of the English catalogue retailer by the same name. It was hilarious. At this point I stopped taking the movie seriously and made a Monty Python version of this in my head.
I never laughed so hard at my own imagination in awhile.
Here's some funny trivia: "Emma Thompson almost made an accidental uncredited cameo in this movie while visiting friend Liam Neeson on the set. Thompson, who'd been filming Nanny McPhee Returns (2010) in an adjacent studio, went to visit Neeson during a break, just as Neeson was about to shoot a scene with Ralph Fiennes and Danny Huston. Unable to exit the set fast enough as the cameras began to roll, Thompson, in her clumsy Nanny McPhee costume, had to hide behind Huston's throne during the take so she would not be picked up by the cameras."
Amazing.
Pretty solid remake. Changes a lot from the original, and some of the story beats are questionable, but it's got a good pace, some cool designs and good action. It's a fun fantasy movie. I dug the aspect of Perseus wanting to remain a man no matter what. Aside from him cheating a bit at the end...
Cine Paco 1. Image 4.5/5, Sound 4.5/5. I liked more than in the movies The 3D was worthless
The visuals, effects and 3D were OK, although the storyline and plot were pretty weak.
Certainly not Oscar-worthy, and the 3D was clearly an afterthought, but it was a fun ride, nonetheless.

What an awful start to this experiment.
Shockingly bad performances, terrible editing, some of the worst dialogue ever put to screen and despite all that it still manages to be incredibly boring to watch.
