As i have seen the original version of Clash of the Titans from 1981 i had not plans to watch this movie at all. As i read the reviews about it i got the feeling that i was only going to se a CGI-fest that was noway near the original, and that is what i ended up being.
Clash of the Titans will please some but not others. If you like CGI battles and don’t care about anything else, then I think this will be the movie for you. However, if you like a good story and good acting, then you might not like this. I normally like both, I love a story to grip me and I also like great action or CGI scenes but unfortunately for this movie, one outweighs the other. The story bored me so much as did the characters, it felt like the actors was bored doing their roles sometimes. However, the CGI was pretty good and the action scenes were executed well but they weren’t enough to cover the fact it had a tedious and terrible story. It’s a movie with a bad story and terrible characters, which are covered up with CGI battle scenes. If the original is anything like this, I don’t think I’d like to watch it.
If you have ever read any kind of mythology you should know that every single tale that is told comes with a story of epic preportions. By epic i do not only mean that they have good battles, by epic i do mean that the actual timeline is the epic one. Every book will tell you a tale about how humans are struggeling against countless ods ove a certain period of time, just when you are about halfway trough the story and wonder how much beating the main character can take. In this movie i did not feal that at all, i did not have any hatred towards the gods here. I did not feal any need for the humans to get their revenge quenched, not did i feel any kind of emotion towards the main character of the story because the movie only focused on the action scenes and not towards the story as a book would do. Thus, this was not epic.
I will just say it right away: This movie has a lot of flaws, the story is noway near the original one in proportion of epic tales. the pace is off, the writing is bad and most of the dialogue is sketchy at best. If you decide to watch this movie you should not expect more than a Monster Mash of Titans with great CGI, for some people that hopefully should be entertaining enough.
