Clash of the TItans: Everything I expected and it was great!

Rating: 9/10 (4 April 2010)

I don't know what all the critics are smoking, but Clash of the Titans is a great fantasy movie! Now some of the mythology was changed and it doesn't have some deep life changing plot, no, but that isn't what I came to the movie to see. I am a huge fantasy fan and this movie delivered exactly what I wanted: epic weapons, great fight scenes, amazing monsters, gods, creatures and beautiful women.
Overall I was satisfied with the acting and dialog. Sam Worthington is a good actor and really made his character engaging and fun to watch and I felt he really fit the role well. The dialog was also on par. None of it was cringe inducing which is very common in most Hollywood block busters. Even Avatar, which is also a great fantasy, had some pretty cringe inducing lines in it.
The plot was straight to the point. I was a little disappointed that they didn't use the original plot twist of Perseus being prophesied about killing his mothers father, the king, and the king killing both daughter and son to try to prevent the prophecy, inadvertently making the prophecy come true. But I suppose they changed it to streamline the plot for a two hour action movie. What they replaced it with was sufficient, I didn't feel too 'cheated'.
Now the monsters and creatures are what I came to the movie to see and they did not let down! Zeus is amazing looking in his sparkling armor :), Pegasus was beautiful and I can only wish I could ride it, Olympus is magical and I will dream about hanging out there with the rest of the gods and the Kraken is ungodly HUGE and just awesome. I only wish the fight scene was a bit longer with him cause he was just soo imposing I'd like to see more. My favorite creatures has to be the charred wood un-human desert Gin people. They were just cool looking and I would like to meet one :) (that was fantasy is all about right? to fantasize?)
I saw the movie in 3d and overall I didn't think it added that much to the movie. It actually would of been better in 2d as I could see the detail of the CGI better. But, I'll rent this movie on DVD to catch more of that later. So save yourself the $5 and watch it in 2d.
If you are a fantasy fan this movie is a definite see. I went with a group of friends and they all agreed the movie was great too. So I wouldn't listen to the stupid critics. Go watch it!
