Even though I study mythology, I was surprised...

Rating: 5/10 (4 April 2010)

The whole movie I was trying to find mythological mistakes, there were definitely some, but I am not going to get into them. One I will point out is that, on page 28 of Edith Hamilton's Mythology, "(HADES) was unpitying, inexorable, but just; a terrible, not an evil god." This movie denies this mythological fact completely and makes Hades evil. This was the only thing a found hard to watch in the movie, and a big thing in the movie.
The plot is Perseus is found in a box with his deceased mother, by a fisherman. He adopts Perseus and he grows up happy. Later on the family is killed by Hades because people have begun to defy the gods. Perseus is rescued by Argonians and eventually has to find a way to kill Hades (another problem). There are the Fates, only one gorgon, and the Adromadean conflict.
The chemistry between the characters felt somewhat rushed. Draco started off hating Perseus, but five seconds later they were best friends. Andromeda wasn't really properly introduced. Also the other soldiers had distinct personalities, but we were never given any reason for them existing. Perseus and Io were the only characters to have a steady, developing relationship. The Gods could of had more screen time, but it was better than their screen time in Troy (which was none.)
This was a great movie, but not a serious movie; a CGI fest with a good plot. Don't go to this movie expecting some Oscar winning film. Go into this movie expecting to see a lot of great action. This was much better than 300 and Troy.
7/10 For a great action/adventure movie with poor character building and mythological inaccuracies.
