An Epic Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 2010)

After viewing Clash I can definitely say that I favor the original. First, the writers took an awful lot of liberties when re-writing the script-adding characters while editing out others (the owl). The entire purpose in the original was for Perseus' to save the princess from a horrible fate and win the kingdom as well as the princess' hand in marriage. In the remake, Perseus is completely uninterested in becoming king after saving the princess--unbelievable. For me, the biggest disappointment was actually the 3D. The last time I saw a 3D film was Michael Jackson at Disney World in the early 90's. I was so excited to see a 3D film but found myself taking my glasses off several times to focus on the fuzzy figures during Clash. The 3D was absolutely pointless. I mean, where was the arrow flying or the tip of the sword striking out from the screen into the audience? The 3D just really didn't make any sense to me. I was hoping for a better remake of a classic.
