Mini Reviews - Clash of the Titans

Clash of the Titans

Clash of the Titans

A remake of the 1981 mythical adventure film about the myth of Perseus. To win the right to marry his love (Andromeda) and fufill his destiny, Perseus must complete various quests and battle both Medusa and the Kraken monster in order to save the Princess Andromeda.

At least it doesn't go for the fantastical and campy approach the original had and go for the dark and gritty reboot. Though the actors weren't all very interesting to go with especially with Sam Worthington (hot from Avatar) still being as bland as we saw him last time. Neeson and Fiennes are both fun and knew they were having fun as bickering brothers of the Gods and Arterton was just fine. The action sequences and fights were indeed cool, but some were just rushed and built up kind of anti-climatic. It is not a bad film, but not epic either.

2 and a half out of 5 stars
