Rating-**
Never before has there been a film like Clash of the Titans. Never before has there been a movie that's message is not one of environmentalism or teamwork or something, but raging, militant atheism. Basically, what this movie teaches us is if you think you and your community can make it without religion, but the deities of said religion refuse to let that happen, there is a simple solution: kill 'em. Just take your magical sword and flying horse and kill everything that represents them.
Ok ok ok, let's get serious. The plot is: Perseus, played the kid from Avatar, now speaking with his true blue Australian accent, gets his family killed by Hades, and decides to go the "God of War" route and screw over pretty much everything related to the Olympian Pantheon. Perseus and his bunch of generic action movie stereotypes fight harpies, giant scorpions, the Stygian sisters, Medusa, and the kraken. Never mind, I guess Perseus and the gang just went the rout without most of the mythical monsters.
Anyway, the acting is hammy, the script is ridiculous, the ending is retarded, the fx range from beautiful to ps2 game, the characters are nonexistent, and overall the story is a bit of a mess. However, Louis Leterrier saves the day like he did in Unleashed and The Incredible Hulk with exciting and extremely well done action scenes. Overall, I don't really recommend this movie, but it's kind of entertaining and not nearly as boring (or as charming) as the original. Try it, but definitely not in 3D
