Despite the new effects the 80's version is much better

Rating: 2/10 (17 July 2010)

The effects are great but the most glaring thing wrong with this new version is the great things about the first movie that are missing here. Where is the romance? What happened to the relationship between Perseus and Andromeda? What about all the charming dialog and incidents from the first movie? The riddle? Calibos? The goddess Thetes? The casting wasn't good. Sam Worthington is certainly not demi god like hero material - small sized and common looking. Are they looking for an anti-hero or an everyman that we all can identify with? At least Harry Hamlin looked the part. Gemma Atreton's large role here was a bit annoying making her the heroine instead. Alexa Davalos is a bit plump and common looking a far cry from the doll like Judy Bowker. After watching this movie you'll just appreciate the first one more.
