Clash of the Titans (2010)

It was okay. Not bad, but not great.

I admit, I had high expectations, but I soon realized it was still just okay.

Felt rushed and lacked character development. Shit, it just lacked character, esp. compared to the original.

Spoiler:
And no Bubo?! C'mon.

Very rushed... Was like watching a movie on a View-Master.

Yeah, but they still failed at delivering that. I don't think anyone who went to see this movie expected anything more than a fun ride. The original set out to do the same and it succeeded. I'm not trying to compare the two movies because even though their the same stories it's impossible to compare the two when the budget is considered. If we were to compare the two, however, The 2010 version is a pitiful failure.

It doesn't require an intriguing story to deliver a fun, intense action movie but it does require, either good writing or great directing. Suspense isn't created with, simply, great CGI and cool scenarios. It takes good writing. There was no suspense built up for the action scenes or the moments of consequence. It felt like everyone involved was simply going through the motions on this one. It's really a shame too, because had this movie lived up to its potential we could have seen more, Medieval fantasy type movies. We don't see many of those anymore.

Peter Jackson I think would have done a lot better job. Imagine LOTR without the Dwarfs Elfs etc.....instead with Humans, Gods and Monsters.

yeah and all of the monotonous and redundant dialogue 😛

I liked it, I wasn't expecting deep character development or anything, it's not a movie that requires deep character development, it requires a few badasses against all odds, and as far as I'm concerned it delivered just that, and improved upon the old story, Hades was way more badass than Hera. And Liam Neeson was epic as usual

I did like that they used Hades instead of the mother tripping out, Liam imo was typical.

the movie was fun i enjoyed it. i wasn't expecting much though just an entertaing film. I have one question though... did we see perseus get eatin by the scorpion? cause it seemed as if there was a piece missing the scoprion jumped and slid and he came out of the top??

Will hopefully be going to see this later on in the week. I'm still looking forward to it, I'm a big Greek Mythology fan, and it'll be nice to see an updated version of this story, especially with Liam Neeson being Zeus. It doesn't get more badass than that.

Bit of advise if you are going to watch it, see it in 2D cause the 3D conversion is poor at best.

The same movie review show that i mentioned in the Kick-ASS thread review this

Said something about the battle's

DAVID: But doesn't it help if you can actually see what's - I mean, in some of the fights, you can't actually tell who is being threatened by this creature, because the choreography is so poor.

MARGARET: I think with young people and video games these days...

I really liked it. It was a fun, in-your-face action film. Yeah, it had its flaws, but that Kraken was awesome.

Kraken didnt do shit, it barely lasted 4 minutes before it got owned.

It was an okay movie all day way up to the Kraken. They screwed up the ending. They rushed starting where the Kraken awakened. They should have put the human to attack the Kraken with Catapult, Archers, and even Balistas. Hades was a disappointment as well.

However, I did enjoy the movie because I left my house with my friends who all had low expectations of the movie.

Difference is, the original's story and cheese-factor is what kept you watching, not the claymation.

This one didn't have either of those aspects, so it would have been nice if the one kick-ass thing of the film lasted for more than a couple minutes.

Be nice if there's an extended version that shows a good 10-20 minute fight between the Titans of old and the Kraken.

This film was supposed to be new and improved but it failed.

I think it's a cop-out to write off the shittiness of this movie by saying "oh! but that's how they did it in the original!" I don't care. The whole concept of a remake is to improve upon, alter, and do something different and better than the original. This movie sucked. A lot.
