Movie Review: Clash of the Titans

2010, or in other words 'the year of 80s movie remakes', included at least five remakes from the 80s, and those movies include 'The A-Team', one of the best movies of all-time, another great movie which was remade from the 80s was 'The Karate Kid', as well as some other movies that I'm still waiting for include 'The Expendables' which has a completely skilled and experienced cast, and a comedy starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd called 'Dinner For Schmucks', but what started this streak of 80s remakes? The answer is simple: Clash of the Titans.

Clash of the Titans is based on the son of a Greek god named 'Persius' who is played by Avatar's Sam Worthington, who is trying to stop a squid-like monster called the Kraken, which was unleashed by Hades, in order to save the princess of Argos before the sun eclipses, or in other words in ten days, the movie's story line is impressive and holds some good strategies, but however, the story and strategies are sort of predictable, I mean, the more people get into watching the movie, it gets more predictable.

The movie was admitingly slow during the first 45 minutes, then the rest of the movie was just pretty much fighting monsters, which was okay, but I think they could have done allot more, also other than some smart strategies in the fight scenes, there was also some stupidity that just made the fight scenes look like that the director wanted them to keep going, there were some obvious things that the characters should have done, but they diddent.

Clash of the Titans had some very good cast members, such as Sam Washingworth as Persius, who was Jake Sully in Avatar, Ralph Fannies as Hades, who also played Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series, Liam Nelson was in the cast, he played Zeus, he guest stared in the Simpson, played Hanible in the A-Team, was in the Batman Begins cast, and played Azlan in the Narnia series, another great cast member was Prince of Persia's Gemma Arterton, the acting was generally good, but did not live up to this cast's complete potential.

Clash of the Titans certainly did bring in the complete meaning of 'Clash', but other than that the movie honestly did nothing special, with very little to love about this movie, and very little to hate as well, Clash of the Titans is watchable, but it won't be as enjoyable as the other 80s remakes, or it definitely won't be a movie that people would want to watch a second time, so overall, Clash of the Titans isn't a good movie, at the same time it isn't a bad movie, so that makes it a mediocre movie.
