Clash of The Titans

OK, so in 1981, there was this movie film called Clash of the Titans. It was all about the clashes, but not about any Titans.

And people remember that film so much that now it's made again. It's directed by Louis Letterier, whose last movie film was The Incredible Hulk, and is available in 2d and 3d screens. I saw the 2d version, 'cause I didn’t want to pay more, so that's what I'll talk about.

Its plot is quite simple: this Hades fella (Ralph Fiennes) wants to conquer the world. Since the humans are revolting against the Gods, he decides to get Zeus (Liam Neeson) to let him scare 'em. He says this’ll put ‘em in their place, but he’s so evil we know better.

And then there's Perseus (Sam Worthington); he's a Demigod, and the son of Zeus. His human family got killed by Hades’s goons, so he leads some humans (and a Djinn) on a quest to thwart Hades.

Just like the older movie, this new one is also all about the clashes. For a film of its title, this is not a bad thing.

The giant monsters, especially the gigantic Kraken, are amazingly realized by CGI. The epicness of its battles is aided by Ramin Djawadi’s score. And the set and costumes effectively realize this extreme take on Ancient Greece.

Clash of the Titans’ plot and characterizations are simple, but they don’t need to be that detailed. It set out to be a big action piece, and it succeeded big time.
