Hey, lets make a movie!

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2010)

O.K.! What'll it be about? Whateever, but it MUST be 3-D and sound cool! Like ''Clash of The Titans'', or ''Zeus meets Godzilla Scorpion''.
I guess you pretty much get the picture. Hollywood by its tradition takes a story, a myth, wait...no, my bad, (this has actually nothing in common with Greek mythology) a few names of Greek pantheon and makes the same corny cliché out of a movie.
The plot is terrible. Famous actors act... act? There is no place for acting here and the big names are pretty much unnecessary considering the simple archetype roles. So I wonder why did they even bother to sell us the story anyway, they could have put more action sequences instead, perhaps it wouldn't be so boring.
But I had a laugh or two seeing the ridiculous and shameful shredding of mythology, some hilarious action scenes and the amazingly bad plot. Plus I was very glad it was over.
My free interpretation of a flashback: ''Zeus liked humans too much. So instead of defeating the human army that besieged mount Olympus, he deflowered the king's wife and the war was over.'' Did he make a threat that he will do the same to anyone who opposes him? God's might in all it's glory.
Some of you might say: ''What is he talking about?! The movie was O.K. and the effects were top notch...'' No. It wasn't. I have nothing against action movies, but they needn't be stupefying. If you like American Greek mythology watch Disney's ''Hercules''. I really liked it when I was a kid and it's way better than this.
