Fun, but thats about it

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2011)

Clash of The Titans is by no means a bad movie, but it ain't great either. The biggest most entertaining part of the film was the art direction. The sets, the costumes, and the monsters were all absolutely beautiful. The universe has its own style of translating Greek mythology into gorgeous visuals. Everything feels like it all belongs together and is truly a site to behold.
That being said, the plot is pretty weak. Most of the plot points are pretty contrived and it sort of feels less like a journey and more like random events strung together. Louis does a good job behind the camera and the action is exciting, there are just a few story problems. The main one being motivation. The characters simply do what they do and we are given little reason for why. Zeus is especially frustrating in this manner.
In terms of performance, it is a mixed bag.Liam Neeson is wonderful as always and he is pretty much the ideal Zeus. Sam Worthington on the other hand sucks it up once again, that guy cannot keep an accent straight to save his life. He had the same problem in Terminator and he continues to go from British to Australian and some times to American.
Despite its obvious flaws, Clash of The Titans is a fun ride and if you want to put a little mindless excitement to your day, the this is a good start.
