quite a good film if you just want to be entertained

Rating: Null/10 (2 April 2010)

To begin with I cant believe that nobody has brought this up, but being too young to have seen the original when it came out, this is the only version of this film I have seen and although it went along quite nicely if you know anything about Greek mythology then it will have you cringing in your seat as you watch. The number of mistakes they make are ridiculous and entirely unnecessary. The list could probably go on forever, so I won't try , but I will give a few examples of where it was entirely unnecessary for them to make such mistakes. 1. There is no need to call the fates witches, just call them the fates its what they are. 2. The fates not only had one eye, but also one tooth between them 3. They also live in a cave, not a mountain and weave a tapestry 4. The kraken is a VIKING myth, not a Greek one â€“ but they did have their own sea monsters, so why not use one of those 5. Pereus was not put in a box with his mother by his mothers husband, but her father because he was destined to kill him 6. Perseus also marries Andromeda 7. Io was not given the gift of eternal youth, but turned into a cow These are just a few of the things in this film which i found annoyed me to such an extent that my enjoyment of this film was seriously damaged because of it. Although this is quite a good film if you just want to be entertained for a couple of hours, if you know anything about Greek myths, don't go and torture yourself. Its just not worth it.
