Ugh... If you cared anything for the original, don't see this movie.

Rating: 2/10 (2 April 2010)

I was so excited to see this movie. I'm a big fan of the original, and really wanted to see what they'd do with it, but I haven't been this disappointed in a movie since I walked out after suffering through the first half of "Alone in the Dark" (Tara Reid as the "brainy" scientist - need I say more?) I was ready to walk out of this movie after the first 30 minutes, but I stayed because I wanted to see what they'd done with the creatures. Big mistake. The fights were predictable, Medusa looked cartoonish and phony, and the story was completely butchered. "There is no Acrisius, only Calibos?!" Since when? Is that anything like "There is no Dana, only Zuul?" And what happened to the riddles, and the curse on Andromeda? Wasn't Perseus supposed to be fighting for love? And his mother didn't die - she raised him! Don't even get me started on Pegasus.
Look, save yourself some money, and rent the 1981 version of this movie (or buy it, it should be cheap). The story isn't perfect, but it's still truer to the legend, has more heart, and I actually dig the cheesy stop-motion animation a heck of a lot more than the overly slick CGI on this soulless piece of crud.
