Better than the original, only cause of the effects.

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2010)

Guilty Pleasure alert! I am ashamed to say this, but I actually enjoyed The new Clash of the titans, though it has it's flaws. For one thing, I don't like Sam Worthington. Not that I don't like him. I hate him. They are trying to make him into the new Russell Crowe(not that i'm obsessed with him either). He's no Russell Crowe.
Hollywood is running put of ideas, so they are remaking everything they can get their hands on. But no film screamed a remake more than Clash of the titans, the cheese-filled original with probably the most shameful special effects i've ever laid eyes on.
I am not going into the plot. I'm not the right person to do that. A mythology freak is the right person to do that. And I know some too. I guess I can do my best. Clash of the Titans is the story of a guy named Perseus(played by Sam Worthington), who happens to be the son of Zeus(played by Liam Neeson).
Zeus is in a rivalry with his brother Hades(played by Ralph Feinnes, who reunites with Neeson after Schindler's list). Perseus has to capture the head of Medusa in order to save Andromeda(played by Alexis Devalos)and kill the kracken.
I know that's not what the plot actually is. I saw the original years ago. And when I saw the remake I knew that things were missing from the plot. That's a lot of what I got out of it. Clash of the titans is getting my recommendation, mainly do to the great cast, improvement of special effects, and because I found it entertaining. No doubt that it's flawed. It's yet another guilty pleasure that i'm not guilty about.
