I just didn't care

Rating: 4/10 (13 April 2010)

OK my first review here we go. Firstly there were some things I liked about this film; the effects were pretty good and there were one or two bits of humour and there was one character I really liked. Unfortunately I can't remember his name because the film didn't introduce him properly. That's my main problem with this film. The secondary characters were so thinly written they didn't seem like characters more like cannon fodder. I realize that it was Persues's story but still at least give us a scene were we find out more about them. Secondly the monster hunters, they show up a third of the way in have maybe five lines of dialogue don't do anything impressive then leave only to come back for two seconds at the end, these characters served no purpose and their screen time should have been given to the soldiers with names. Thirdly, SPOILER, at the end Zeus rewards Perseus by restoring the woman he (apparently) loves, yet Perseus does not even ask Zeus to bring his family, who took him in when he was an orphan and he loved deeply, back from the dead. My advice either wait for it to come out on DVD or better yet watch the original, it's a bit corny but better written in some parts. P.S this film gained nothing by being in 3D
