This movie should upset all students of history.

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2005)

The critics of this movie have pretty much touched on all of the fundamental flaws of this film. Unfortunately, no one has yet to point out the lack of ethnic diversity in this film even though we know that there were numerous Africans prevalent in Greece during this period. It sure would have been nice to see the Ethiopian king Memnon lead 40,000 Ethiopian troops into battle only to be cut down by Achilles. But true to 'Clash of the Titans'fashion,which depicts King Kepheus,Queen Cassiopeia and their daughter Andromeda as white even though they rule Ethiopia! This movie can't be mentioned in the same breath as "Gladiator"! This omission was no accident, Peterson and all of the people associated with this film know full well of Homer's affection for the "blameless Ethiopians, the tallest, most handsome of men, favorite of the Gods". This is yet another example of the modern falsification of history by not mentioning the Ethiopians even though we know that they were a much admired and sometimes feared nation.
