Proves that special effects DON'T make a good movie...

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2020)

I'm an admitted die hard fan of the original, but decided to give this one a chance.
While an okay watch, it couldn't compare to the original.
Being as the producers felt that they had to remake such an iconic classic, why couldn't they follow the actual Greek myth story?
The actual story is a good one and would satisfy Greek Mythology buffs like myself, as well as being a nice watch.
I liked Perseus' party better in this one.
But...over all, the movie was lacking.
Pegasus was ugly (in the original, he was very regal) and even the Kraken lacked any form of imagination.
The original, for all the lack of technology, was a thousand times better. This one looked like a leftover cave troll from Lord of The Rings.
I didn't mind Medusa being a vixen in this one, but the original Gorgon was creepy and much more effective.
Charon was cool and the Stygian Witches were kind of cool, but other than that, give me the original, for all its lack of what today would be considered, good special effects, any day.
