The mortal son of the god Zeus embarks on a perilous journey to stop the underworld and its minions from spreading their evil to Earth as well as the heavens.
Sam Worthington: Perseus
Wow. Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans is the new summer blockbuster in 2D or 3D. Unfortunately despite pretty visuals, spades of CGI and a host of characters whom are miscast as is a Sam Worthington sporting a marine shortened hair cut amongst a Greek populace. What is this? The original Clash of the Titans mixed up the myths, legends and story in 1981. 2010 the remake goes one step further in tragically blowing apart the Greek God saga revolving around Perseus and Argos.
Let's just say it was painful to watch this. Ralph Fiennes as Hades was more like Gimli from LOTR and Liam Neeson playing Zeus was like a glowing power ranger character. In fact Olympus was like a big glowing light bulb with chocolate figures that the big man plays with.
Clash of the Titans is a confusing, confounding affair of frustration and effects.
There is a scene in a forest, then a desert with scorpions and a guy whom looks like something from Transformers. We have a black pegasus. I shit you not. We have a medusa who looks about as CGI as you can make something. I'm crying from the disappointment. The humiliation of a plotless adventure which discards the original myths and pythos to an extent that it no longer resembles books or indeed the true vision that aspiring Greek legends and stories are.
You know what I loved most about Clash of the Titans aside from the dislike for inconsistencies? Perving on the gorgeous Gemma Arterton as Io, she practically raped my eyeballs and made this ordeal bearable and exciting.
The ending was pretty feel good too if what slightly unbelievable and paradoxical in relation to events which aspired.
Mads Mikkelsen as Draco was pretty interesting yet I felt alot of characters were sewn and taken from 300 and Troy. The encounter with Medusa equals killing half the cast which was also pointless and demeaning.
Overall, Clash of the Titans is Sam Worthington the lost marine in Ancient Greece just popped off the set Avatar and even donning an Aussie accent which confuses and sets the film in realms of ridiculousness.
Where is Hera? Where is the cave in which the three witches live with the eye? Where is the order of the plot? Why is everything missing from Clash of the Titans? Because Louis Leterrier thought he was doing another plotless Transporter film void of soul and layered dimensional characters. Try again mate.
''You may not wish to be a god, but after what you've done hundreds will worship you. Look after them. Treat them better than we could. And if you insist on continuing this mundane human existence, I'll not have you do it alone. You're the son of Zeus, after all!''
