3D movie?

Rating: 4/10 (5 June 2010)

I went to the theaters with some friends to see this film. One of them wanted to watch the movie in 3D. I knew it was a bad idea considering that Avatar turned out the same way with or without the glasses. Yes, I know that the whole 3D experience is used to prevent piracy and make theaters more appealing to people. But now it is just a shameful method to charge more. In reality, I wouldn't feel so upset to pay more if both Avatar and Clash of the Titans were actually 3D movies, but they weren't. There were no differences when I took off those annoying glasses. It might work with other movies but it felt like a rip-off.
Now, onto the movie. It haven't watched the original movie, but I'm familiar with Greek mythology. I know that it is not possible to put every detail in a movie, so I expected a lot of differences between the actual stories and this movie. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but in this case the plot was not able to stand for itself. The movie turned out to be very weak. It was mostly consisting in some not so well done action sequences between some of the most forgettable characters in the world. Well, that is mostly due the lack of competent actors. If you ask me about this movie in the future, I will most certainly forget it before I'm able to give you an answer.
The script didn't help either. In fact it made this whole experience worst. When some characters were in Medusa's temple. the main character said: "Let's kill that b*tch". It felt like a kick in the throat. I know that they weren't supposed to speak ancient Greek, but come on.
It's a shame that this the first time that Ralph and Liam got together since the great "Schindler's List". They weren't really good in this one.
It is certainly hard to find mainstream movies with some depth or with some little accuracy regarding the period of time they're trying to portrait. I think that if a film takes place in japan (And it's not made there), the actor should try to speak Japanese at least. But the target audience is too dumb and lazy to even read subtitles.
This is another mindless mainstream film. Some might love it, but I don't care for it.
