Popcorn action with one big flaw

Rating: 6/10 (18 April 2010)

Clash of the Titans, starring new Hollywood wonder boy Sam Worthington, is not a bad movie. In fact it is great fun - fast-paced and ambitious.
But therein also lay its weakness. Running in around 1 hr 45 min Clash of the Titans never takes the time to build characters or delve into the mysticism surrounding for instance The Stygian Witches or the frightening Medusa. It becomes a classic example of the sacrifice movies relying heavily on CGI has to make nowadays, where the characters rush from one scene and location to another.
2D, 3D or not - Clash of the Titans could have been a massive movie beyond what the title would suggest, but instead ends up as yet another expensive blockbuster-tailored Hollywood flick lacking in suspense and imagination.
