Great if open-minded!

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2010)

Though I have not seen the original Clash of the Titans (1981), I thought this movie was really good! In my opinion, I think that most original movies are usually always better than their remakes. But in this case, I haven't seen the original so I can't be the judge of that for this. But my dad has and he said it was good so I'm guessing it must be, if it comes from him. :) Some people rate this movie around 2 or 3 star because they are most always comparing it to the original movie. As said above, I don't think remakes are better than the originals. This is a great movie to watch if you have and open mind and aren't expecting much. When I say 'aren't expecting much', I mean that people shouldn't be expecting this remake to compare to the 1981 original version. Also, some reviews I've read compared Sam Worthington's acting to the movie Avatar. Avatar was an excellent movie and I agree that his acting wasn't as good in Clash of the Titans as it was in Avatar (I don't think anything can be compared to it). Some of the scenes, like the scene with the discussion about mechanical bird, was, in some ways, pointless. They could have left that part out of the movie. I liked the way they portrayed the Gods, like Zeus, in his gleaming armour etc. Overall, I think that is movie is excellent! This is the kind of movie that is good for people not expecting it to compare to the 1981 version. It had a good plot and some actors that I recognized. It's always good to have recognizable actors so the movie isn't too boring. For me, this movie wasn't boring and I found it great to watch. I watched it with my boyfriend and he said it was great movie too. Good amount of action, romance and suspense. In my book, it was GREAT!
