It's Boring and the 3D is useless

Rating: 5/10 (1 April 2010)

I tried to like this mess but with memories of the cult classic original I was super keen to see this remake. Aussie Sam Worthington is made for this movie, he is not the problem, it's the darkness, the noise and the stupid situations. How did the scorpions accept a rider to steer it around. No spoilers from me just one more thing, WHY WAS IT IN 3D. There was simply no need to see this in 3D as in my eyes it was not effective until the final credits. Then there was the camp factor, sure, the sparkling jacket worn by Zeus is like something Wayne Newton might wear, but the fake Greek pillars in Mount Olympus look like a set from Showgirls. Overall its nothing more than a big lightweight expensive kids film. The music was good, the battle between hero Perseus and evil Medusa was watchable and a highlight, but nothing memorable. Even the magnificent mechanical owl from the original gets dissed and flying horse Pegasus is Black! huh....This won't hurt Sam's growing career but not good.
