A GOOD FANTASY ADVENTURE BUT A BORING BLAND LEAD IN SAM WORTHINGTON.

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2019)

I grew up on the old early 80's version of "Clash of the Titans" & that was a great film with a terrifying Medusa that is an iconic creature design so i wasn't sure about giving this a watch for a long time but I'm so glad i decided to watch it as a double bill of Monster movies with "Kong: Skull Island" & really enjoyed both films!!!
This version of the Classic tale & remake of the old school Classic is excellent, i TOTALLY enjoyed the look & effort put into the amazing production design & incredible creatures put on screen.
Now Medusa didn't look as scary as the old version but obviously with todays special fx she moved & looked real enough to still be very sinister, i prefer Sam Worthington in the main lead role as he's a tougher looking hero as Perseus, he was much more Manly & harder in this more grittier & darker version BUT although Sam Worthington looked the part he didn't have much else about him, he's obviously a good looking guy so he probably got picked for a "Handsome lead" but anyone really could've played the part & much better as its not a big "Acting" role but yeah "Worthington" is a bland lead actor really but he was ok for a moody scowling angry looking Australian guy lol & he seemed tough.
I would've preferred the excellent Barry Pepper in the lead role or even Tom Hardy.
The different creatures are Awesome & look Amazing thanks to a nice big budget & the ancient Greek Mythological world is created fully & looks Fantastic.
The always excellent Liam Neeson is good here too as the god "Zues" & Ralph Fiennes is very sinister as the evil god "Hades" so there's a great solid cast of excellent actors here along with some beautiful ladies like Gemma Arterton & Alexa Devalos & Polly Walker & more stunning faces along with the tough manly warriors.
The huge Scorpions look Amazing & it's an Awesome battle scene & the Medusa scene is exciting & creepy & there's plenty more great monster scenes & battles in this huge Exciting Fantasy fun big creature feature adventure. A remake that is better than the original as it's a big budget peice of fantasy adventure fun.
