a BIG let down

Rating: 3/10 (5 April 2010)

A remake of a classic which just can't compare to the original despite the digital effects. I was expecting so much more! The film didn't really seem to have any content, very poor dialogue, a few battle scenes and a non-existent climax at the end. The 3D was a huge disappointment (after watching avatar) and if anything made it harder to follow the fast action movements on screen. Aspects of the film were poorly explained, for example one quick shot of an owl, which didn't appear to have any relevance to anything else. Despite the star cast they just couldn't pull it off! The set of the gods and the hazy glow around Zeus, brought back a Flash Gordon-like image to my mind. I went with 3 friends and none of us would recommend paying money to see this film. Shame really.
