OK but could have been much better

Rating: 6/10 (2 April 2010)

I recently took a classical mythology class and the myth of Perseus is strongly to believed to be a children's tale rather than being a full blown myth. The reason for this is that Perseus doesn't really have an internal struggle and he is helped greatly in his adventures with gifts from the gods. Sadly this movie doesn't really deviate from the children's tale, which is too bad - it had a lot of potential.
Also, this movie seems to suffer from the "Mummie" movies' problem of using way too much CGI for the monsters. Don't get me wrong, I love CGI, but when creatures are made so huge they become cartoon-ish. Sometimes less is more.
I think a lot of people will like this movie, I just found it to not have enough "grit."
