Really? Was that it?

Rating: 4/10 (13 July 2010)

My word this was bad. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes seemingly phoned in their parts from home although Sam Worthington was reasonably believable. The story had many holes in it and it felt awfully rushed. I loved the original (yes I know it's old and corny!!) and had high hopes for this movie. However, my expectations were seriously let down by a lazy story (Zeus was about as powerful as paper mache, and don't get me started on Hades' ludicrously husky voice and dodgy pronunciation!) and characters that weren't particularly likable. Many questions went unanswered also, namely, why did Zeus give Perseus only one coin? And, why did he keep appearing and then disappearing for apparently no reason other than to fill some screen time? This film could have been so much better but left me wanting a whole lot more.
