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.
I doubt You really need more of a synopsis than that. Everyone knows clash of the titans.
Director: Louis Leterrier
Writers: Travis Beacham Phil Hay
Does this movie look awesome? Absolutely. Is it Good? Well, yea, it's not bad. It's difficult to overcome the childhood nostalgia of a movie you grew up with and love like the original Clash of the Titans, but I quite enjoyed this movie. It did a pretty damn good job of updating the original and still keep with the the general feel of the original.
There's not a whole lot more I can say about this movie that I didn't already say before, but I'll give it a shot. First, the movie looks and sounds fantastic. The special effects are outstanding.
The story fairly follows the original. You have the Medusa, the Kraken, the scorpions, etc. You even have Bobo, well.. sorta.
The acting is good. Liam Neeson is always terrific. Say what you will about Sam Worthington, but I quite like him. He doesn't have the greatest range in the world, but what he does, he does well. Ralph Fiennes is another terrific actor.
There is also plenty of eye candy in this movie with the absolutely gorgeous Gemma Arterton, and almost as stunning Alexa Davalos. Unfortunately this is no longer the early eighties so we don't get any PG rated nudity in this one.
I highly recommend this film as well as the original. Get over your childhood nostalgia and give this one a try. It won't ever replace the original and it will always be there to enjoy.
