Clash of the Titans (2010)

Rating: 1/10 (12 April 2010)

Clash of the Titans (2010) was completely devoid of any true character development, over and under acting, which was a truly magnificent feat in my opinion. The action sequences jumped from one to the other with no real storyline to support them, and to my true disappointment, the makers of this movie seemed to feel that they knew how to tell a story better then the Ancient Greeks. After all what do the Greeks know really? So what is Warner Brother's solution? Take the time honored myths, rewrite them but keep the same characters, add a few more for flare and voilà! a masterpiece of inaccuracies and inconsistency. On the plus side, they threw in some hi-tech graphics to make up for the fact that their version of classical myth and an 80's cult, is really lacking and then managed to fall short on great graphics. The best part of this movie can be seen in the previews, no need to waist time and money to see the rest. I am deeply saddened for anyone who sees this movie with no knowledge of Greek Mythology, for you are going to be shown a story that strays so far from that path, that those of us who do know the stories are just about sickened by this film. An enjoyable film isn't all about the special affects, a storyline enhanced by special affects is what makes a film great, and it seems to me that director Leterrier has forgotten this concept.
My conclusion; this movie doesn't live up to its hype and incorrectly depicts Greek Mythology.
