A million times better than the original!

Rating: 9/10 (20 April 2010)

Whoever is complaining and saying that the original was better is ---with all due respect--- insane. I loved the old "Clash", but we've got to admit it: this is definitely an improvement.
And i'm not saying it because it has better action scenes & effects. No. The new storyline is more elaborated, fresh and catchy. I think they really nailed it with the changes they made on the plot. The story is now easier to understand and its more appealing to the audience. There's nothing to miss about the old one. The whole dream-thing and the vulture was absolutely ridiculous. The changes made to the plot were necessary.
On the other hand, the characters aren't flat anymore-like in the 1981 version. These (characters) are deeper, more complex and seem more real to the point that the audience can easily identify with them. For instance, the new Perseus is not your typical hero. He is shown as a regular human being, with flaws,conflicts and all. (Plus, he really knows how to fight,unlike the other one!)
The bottom line is, this movie is more believable than the "old " clash. Its far more entertaining, the plot is more dynamic. There's not a thing not to like about this movie.
And sure, it is not true to the ancient Greek mythology. But who cares? If it were, it'd be plain boring. Movies are meant to entertain, if you're expecting to learn history go grab a book. In my opinion, Leterrier did a great job and managed to make a great & fun action movie.
