Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (22 October 2010)

Mankind is challenging the gods and Zeus (Neeson) doesn't like it. So to teach them a lesson Zeus allows Hades (Fiennes) to bring disruption to the earth. But the god/man son of Zeus, Perseus (Worthington) sees the good in mankind and has plans to defeat Hades.
It took a long time for me to see this movie. I just knew it would be all CGI showing fighting against all kinds of creatures. I was not wrong, but giant Scorpions? And truth be told, there was really nothing else out there. The CGI is nothing but terrific, but give me a break. Too much CGI gets boring pretty quick. It puts me into sleepy-time mode as it never seems to stop (insert a Big Yawn here).
To review the main actors, Liam Neeson seemed to be miscast and he seemed to be wary that he was indeed Zeus. Well, if he couldn't believe it, we couldn't either. And, it would have helped more if his hair was white. We like gods with white hair because it shows the gods have what we lack: wisdom (insert Bewilderment look here).
Ralph Fiennes was pretty good as Hades. He needed more scenes as he was truly a breath of fresh air (insert Almost Curious look here).
Sam Worthington as Perseus was okay but he was too busy deflecting attention to others in the cast. We hardly knew ye Perseus (insert What the Hell You Doing look here).
We also saw creatures who were mostly blue, and Zombie-like, but they could fight and had mysterious powers (insert Who the Hell Are They look here). We could have accepted them if when they talked we could understand them, but we couldn't. It was like listening to someone who is talking but all we hear is a lot of grunting. Not good (insert What the Hell Are You look here).
So there you have it. Another remake that should not have been made, "but we have all this CGI technology and what do they (that would be us) know?"
I would call this disappointing. Insert a Disappointed look on me now
