Makes you MISS stop motion filming

Rating: 5/10 (9 April 2010)

When it comes to classic stories it is dangerous to stray from the storyline, after all they became classics because of the way they were written the first time. If you do stray from the storyyou better do it damn well (such as 300)or fail miserably (such as The Scarlet Letter – Demi Moore version).
There have been a handful of versions for the trials of Perseus, but nothing this off target. The only parts of the story that retained are the Graeae and Perseus killing Medusa. The movie came in below 2 hours with big chunks being the freshly made up stuff. So it is quite lean on storyline.
The action scenes are OK, but not really impressive. On top of thatthe CGI did not impress me. I found myself missing the Ray Harryhousen stop motion work in 80s version of Clash of the Titans.
The acting was OK, but nothing memorable or worth remembering. Ohh one rant, I am getting really tired of the whole "ancient world spoke English with a British accent", ohh we can't find enough actors that speak with a Mediterranean accentso Queen's English shall suffice.
Movie is worth a discount ticketor rent the 1981 Clash of the Titans and watch it at home.
