Great Entertainment and pure Adventure

Rating: 6/10 (5 April 2010)

I just came back from watching this movie . . . and I have to say that the production is a marvelous updating and re-imagining of the original. Growing up with the original (the time that the original was released with was state of the art) I have to say that this re-imagining of it is perfect. The simple plot line of the original is kept somewhat intact, but the addition of the Magi was wonderful and a well needed addition.
But there are two setbacks to the movie that made me give it a 9 instead of a 10. 1) Pegasus is black (in mythology he is supposed to be white). And they called it "the pegasus" (as a noun, a thing, an animal) instead of Pegasus a proper name the horse of Zeus. 2)Gone is the golden owl for a companion of Perseus (which make a very brief appearance in the movie, you have to go see the movie to know where. But it was used in the original as the comedy relief) Besides for the two things mention above this move is for the OLDER CHILDREN and not for the young ones. There are some parts that are very intense and scary images for the young ones, but OK for the older children.
For what is worth, great story, action balanced with just the right amount of CGI makes this movie for good entertainment. For what other reason do we go to the movies?
