Is Argus south of Texas?

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2011)

If Clash Of The Titans has to be summed up in just one word, that would be WEAK. WEAK acting and fake RP is something that one could probably forgive to a film coming out of the US where everybody makes movies, and it's only important that the film is "popcornable" and doesn't require a lot of thinking and understanding. WEAK storyline can be forgiven as well, provided that the Greek mythology has already been overused in film. But when those come combined, forgiveness is something not quite easy to give.
This film has WEAKness that I just can't but forgive. It's obviously made by people that have no clue of Greek mythology whatsoever and all those little factual mistakes make it rather cheesy and too shallow for a serious film experience. It wouldn't have hurt if they actually made a brief research on Greece and the world of Antiquity before jumping into making a film about it. Antiquity seems so Americanized, that every person with intelligence over the average would feel insulted if expected to trust this joke of a storytelling. Everything is just as ridiculous as soldiers wearing Roman helmets in a time when they weren't even invented yet, or as fake-tanned actors that supposedly look more Mediterranean because of the fake tan... You can see those in the film.
The film does not impress with a good story. The dialogue screams FAKE, the acting is amateur, so are the effects. The biggest disappointment is Ralph Fiennes, whose acting has never been so unimpressive, but it's probably due to the horrible script he had to work with.
I wouldn't advice paying to see this, it's just not worth it.
