Good story but it could have been titled something else. (Spoiler alert!)

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2010)

Well I went to go see Clash of the titans and it was very good. Unlike Avatar, which a lot of movies are compared to now, it's story was in front and the center of the movie, and the highlight of the film and the effects were the backbone.
But it had it's flaws and only a couple but those are the ones that I'm going to address. 1. Perseus: Perseus is not supposed to be orphaned boy found in a casket that was guided by some guardian angel, he was supposed to be raised by his mom after Argos was destroyed after the king ordered the death of both of them. In this movie it is not Joppa that is going to be destroyed it is Argos that is going to be destroyed and Joppa was destroyed by the Kraken. It really blows my mind in thinking that. 2. Love interest: This movie completely changed this. In the original Clash, Princess Andromeda was the love interest but in this clash the Guardian angel is the love interest and it totally my mind completely away from the original Clash to this Clash which remakes sometimes do but this didn't do as well in my opinion. But there are many things that this Clash gave that the original didn't. 1. Main Villain: The original clash didn't really have a main Villain but this happens to have one and it is Hades, God of the underworld. This was very well done and it is probably my favorite part of this whole Movie. 2. Stuck with Andromeda/Kraken deal: This is also very well done, at least they didn't make Andromeda some complete snobby princess that deserved to be eaten by the Kraken, no they made her sympathetic and you didn't want her to be eaten by the Kraken. And the Kraken was still there although you didn't know what it looked like and it stuck with the original and re-imagined it from Greek mythology. 3. Overall story.... great! It may have it's flaws but this movie in it's own right rivals the original, but in my personal opinion the original will always be the best adventure/fantasy film of all time(yes better than Jason and the Argonauts). 4th and final reason: Special effects didn't overshadow the story: The special effects did not overshadow the the story unlike in James Cameron's Avatar which is a prime example of this crime. James Cameron is one of my favorite directors of all time but in Avatar the special effects overshadowed the story but in this case in my opinion this Clash's story overshadowed the special effects. The story was not as complex as the original's but in it's own right like i've said in this review it rivals the original in that department. But thank you all for reading this review and i hope you all have a great day!
