Not just average - a better story.

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2010)

This was a re-write, yes, but very well done. I saw this in normal format, not in 3D, and I agree with the other reviewer that there is no point in making this a 3D movie. The story with it's new twists and in-your-face action make it well worth seeing in regular format. You've never seen the Kraken like this! I say, Bravo!, to the normal format for this re-make which needed to be done. I came away from this with a sense that this is the story Harryhausen wanted to tell. It's not average, by any means. It feels more gritty than fantasy. I felt as if I could have been there in Argos at the time. Clash is the best re-make of one of my favorites from the early 80s and should be considered as a fun movie well worth seeing, but I will not be seeing it again in 3D. 3D would be a distraction for this great story.
