Mythology and fast paced action

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2010)

I really liked this version of Clash of the Titans. I did see the older movie years ago. I don't think it matters if either followed the mythology accurately. I do know there are various versions of the myth concerning Perseus but he is indeed the one who slays and gets the head of the Medusa with the aid of Athena and a few others. I could go on and on about the differences with the mythology. There is a beast that Poseidon lets loose which has another name and is not a Titan. Nor is a Kraken a Titan but a familiar sea creature I believe from Norse mythology. The thing that matters here is whether the movie was entertaining. I thought it was and I really like the movie. I know there are goofs listed but the movie moves so quickly it is not noticed by the average person. I thought Sam Worthington did a great job in his part.
It followed similarly to the first movie but had Hades involved with the Kraken and I thought it interesting that they tamed the scorpions to ride with the addition of Djinn which are out of another mythology. I liked the additions because it made the movie entertaining and unique. I would recommend it if you are a person who doesn't worry about the accuracy of the mythology involved and likes a good old fashioned action adventure, a man on a quest to save the day.
