Clash of the Titans
2010 Directed by Louis Leterrier
Synopsis
Titans will clash.
Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus is helpless to save his family from Hades, vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus and unleash hell on earth. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, Perseus and his warriors will only survive if Perseus accepts his power as a god, defies fate and creates his own destiny.

Big names! Pete Postelthwaite, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Mads Mikkelsen. How did they get them to put their faces and names against this inane, banal and shallow frass?
We all know the story of Perseus. We all know the personalities, the events, the divine artefacts he acquires and uses to complete his linear quest. Can't we have a little character development instead of a rote retelling of the ancient legend? Do we really need Jar Jar Binx to resurface as a Djinn to complete the feast of ham and cheese?
The Pegasus was beautifully animated - credit where it's due. But I can't forgive these uninspired muppets for unleashing another tragically camp piece of wank that further condemns the genre…

Button-Moon-faced beauty Gemma Arterton guides a man-shaped charisma-vacuum through a set of atmospheric, one-note CGI set pieces. Impressive production values shine-up an unforgivably flat story considering the rich sagas of inspiration and the talent on show. CotT's drab palette is more in suiting to miserable Celtic/Norse mythology than sunny Grecian legend and several marks down for the costume dept., as the film features no hair as impressive as Harry Hamlin's. Pegasus needs a word with his agent.
Pretty much interchangeable with my review of Prince of Persia. Sands of Time. -
Okay can we have some viewing pleasure without an Australian please. Seriously where the fuck did all of these Australian actors come from,..."yeah they gave me a sword and a leather skirt and told me to run around and not to say too much,...what,...do I know Russell Crowe,..."
Okay maybe not all blockbusters, there was terminator 4,...what,...oh that was this guy,...it wasn't very good was it,....Avatar,...oh really, that was this guy too, fuck me,...okay what about that Thor movie,...shitballs,...that guy was an Australian ,...and he was in Star Trek,...okay what about TV,...catching a bit of Fringe,...really, Dunham AND Walter, cripes,...Chuck;...no, seriously...a name like Strahovski and she's an Aussie!?! There's no way they'll be in a decent drama like The King's...really;... the speech guy's an Aussie....you know what;...screw you Australia, you think you're pretty bloody flash don't you,...well this movie sucked.

A lot of people laughed when I claimed to like this when this came out. I actually really liked this film, better than the original actually, even if I'm the only one.

This film gets my hackles up. It has so much wrong with it. Lazy writing, badly cast/acted (Yes, you Worthington and Arterton), Fiennes (Doing a hippy Voldemort) and Neeson phone it in, Danny Huston has like two lines as Poseidon and it manages to make a story about monsters, gods and heroes pretty boring. The pacing is off, it is CGI reliant and has no atmosphere. This film seems more indebited to Transformers than the original. Music sucks monkey tits too.

Would this movie have fared better if the Harryhausen Clash had not come out 30 years earlier? It's debatable. What I do know is that the special effects really let down this version. Every time I think CGI has come a long way, I see a movie like this and remember that it still has a long way to go. Not as bad as its reputation, but that doesn't make it good, either.

Es un videojuego muy bonito, con mucha acción, en el que la estructura de la trama está completamente fusilada de "El Señor de los Anillos", y en la que los discursos a la americana llenos de frases vacías abundan. Ahora bien, como comida rápida es de las mejores que he catado nunca: se pasa muy rápida, los efectos especiales molan un montón y el ansia por ver pecho como en la original te mantiene clavado al sofá.
Es una pena que el único homenaje que hagan a la original sea la breve aparición del búho Bubo, pero tampoco parece que fuera la intención hacer un remake exacto, sino más bien intentar explotarlo para hacer una franquicia.
Lo que no entiendo es qué pintan los Caballeros del Zodiaco en todo esto ni eso de que el Kraken se cargara a Cronos; como sea así como explican la mitología en EEUU...

A remake of cult classic, 1981s 'Cash Of The Titans', Sam Worthington stars as Perseus, a demi-god who is trying to live a normal life in the city of Argos. When vengeful god Hades (Ralph Fiennes) attacks the mainland and threatens to unleash a monster, the Karaken, to punish the mortals for their defiance against the gods unless a sacrifice is made.
Persues is the only one who can stop Hades and with the backing of his father Zeus (Liam Neeson) and a band of brave warriors and mystical goddess warrior Io (Gemma Arterton), Persues learns he must use the head of Gorgon Medusa to stop the Kraken and repel it back to the underworld.
Full of great special effects and epic battle sequences, this is a no-brainer adventure with decent performances of the larger-than-life characters. It's great fun and Worthington does a good job as demi-god Perseus. Leads onto a decent sequel too.

Redelijke spectakel/actiefilm. Wat ver gezocht soms, maar wel vermakelijk.

I started out liking this movie (back in 2010). When I look back on it now, I can see why its awful. Its incredibly slow! The acting is awful, the script is terrible and the visual effects look so fake. The filming however is fine and the editing is somewhat good as well. I can't believe I actually liked this movie when it came out. What was I thinking?

Filme super corrido, roteiro horrível, mais parece uma tech demo de efeitos especiais. Chegar até os créditos finais é um desafio.

Esto es lo que pasa cuando haces una película y no te documentas ni con Wikipedia.

I hadn't watched this because – now I figure – its title and poster look much cheesier than it actually is. Picture it with the title "Perseus" and a headshot of the hero, and you got me in the theatre. Maybe even "Perseus the Monster Slayer". Seriously, monster lovers; watch this.
If nothing else, it has Voldemort with hair and nose.

not enough monster battles
