A good actioner for people who like buddy-hero movies with mythological elements.

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2019)

This movie does a great job. It does not try to be too much at any one time. Sam Worthington does a fantastic job, even though not much from the role is expected from him. He makes a convincing hero. If you are a fan of all things Western Civilization, then this will give you enough red meat to be satisfied. The SFX are likewise not overdone, but also not too sloppy. Perseus is the half-son of Zeus, raised by common fishermen, and the family gets killed early on.
Perseus must stop the destruction of man at the hands of the rebellious Pantheon. In case you were wondering, at the end, he confronts Medusa by using the Shield of Aegis, and seeing the reflection on the shield, closes his eyes, does a backwards spin, and beheads Medusa. He then, with eyes closed, places the head in a bag, goes to Rhodes, and then, eyes closed again, pulls the head out of the bag and shows the giant, turning the him into stone. Also great to have along the ride are Liam Neeson and other excellent supporting cast.
