A remake of the classic

Rating: 2/10 (6 September 2010)

And yet we have another, in a long line of barely mediocre movies, that is nothing but ear-splitting, headache-inducing drivel. There are millions of people starving all over the world. Quit wasting money on stuff like this movie. Now, I did watch the original, and it was OK (OK, no one and nothing can beat the "heart and soul" of Ray Harryhausen), but this remake is a mishmash of mythology and the ever-lasting battle between not only man and gods, but the gods themselves. What is so sad is the resume of most of the actors is stellar, but somehow each and every one of them got lost in a crappy script, overdone action scenes, characters that were not necessary to the plot, and well, the list goes on. When the short scene with the mechanical owl showed up I thought we'd finally get something interesting. But alas, the owl was tossed aside, just as the decision to not go ahead with this movie was. What a waste.
