Clash Of The Titans Movie Reviews

Supremely silly but jolly good fun to watch, Clash of the Titans is no history lesson in Greek mythology. It's an unapologetic popcorn movie with awesome fight sequences and monstrous mythical beasts. It's also the kind of campy film in which Liam Neeson plays Greek god Zeus, dressed in a shiny silver suit, whose heavenly abode Mount Olympus is designed as a Las Vegas attraction, and who must keep a straight face

So this is it. The pre-summer offerings from the most influential film producing market in the world are here. And 2010 and is begun with an epic named Clash Of The Titans, a motion picture that purports to tell the tale of a time when gods and men locked themselves in epic battle. Since this is a 'big' movie it is made available to the paying audience in that latest, tastiest of flavours -- 3D. A prelude tells us of how it came to be that Zeus (Liam Neeson)

Director Louis Leterrier announced earlier this year that this film would continue as a trilogy. A few minutes into this film, you wonder if he spoke too soon. Unlike his Incredible Hulk, you really aren't that kicked about the news of two sequels to Titans. We've handled one. And while it's been a rollicking, cheesy affair, this remake of the equally cheesy (and equally well cast) 1981 original leaves a helluva lot to be desired. To be fair, Clash Of The Titans isn't all bad.

Hollywood seems to have finally gotten over its fixation for films based on apocalypse. The focus seems to have now shifted to the origin of mankind and its fight for survival rather than its extinction. Louis Leterrier’s remake of the 1981 film by the same name brings up an interesting chapter out of the Greek mythology where humans were done seeking divine intervention and in fact no longer wanted gods to decide their fate. Gods on the contrary felt deceived

Who wants to be a god, anyway? That’s the principal twist inserted into the new Clash of the Titans, a remake of the sometimes fondly recalled, technologically dated 1981 film about the fury of the gods of Mount Olympus and the rise of the young, earthly demigod Perseus. This time, Perseus (Sam Worthington) bears a distaste for his godlike nature. He just wants to be a regular dude and do normal guy stuff — like ride his winged horse Pegasus on the beach.
