My Movie Review: Clash of the Titans

My Movie Review: Clash of the Titans
2.5/5

Opening Statement: Re-making an over-rated classic Clash of the Titans is a mythological story of the adventures of Perseus through his journey of man vs. the Gods. Along his vigorous, action-packed journey he encounters many Allys and villans wether it be the three witches, Medusa, or the ever so monstrous Kraken.

Whats Good? The second half pulls the movie up a little, entertainment-wise all around the film is action after action and contains the interesting mythological aspects of the original. If you are going to expect a little action fun, less story, less dialogue, more sword swinging and giant scorpion guts, this might be for you. The scenery is also beautiful at times, but over done.

Whats Bad? The first half, still containing as much action as the second half, but it's boring as hell,who knew guys in armor flipping around fighting a giant scorpion could be tiresome and dull. This film is the result of uncreative prodcuer throwing together someone elses creativity on an over rated classic, then converting it to a pointless 3-D for an extra buck. The whole film is a get rick quick scheme and it shows. It is ultimately forgettable in the end, and while the action at times can be entertaining, it doesn't last long, the final kraken fight probably lasts less than 5 minutes. This film defines dull action. This all around is an interesting mythology story that should've never been adapted to film and then they remake it as a mindless, tiresome action flick.

Consensus: Avoid seeing it in 3-D if you can, its a waste of money. Honestly i'd say the ticket price is a waste of money for this film unless you are seeking some sword play and mythological action, however even if that is what you are seeking you will still probably come out unsatisfied.
