Clash of the Titans

A mixed bag. I didn't really enjoy <em>'Clash of the Titans'</em> but I didn't dislike it all that much either. The cast do alright, as Sam Worthington sticks out most - the rest kinda merge into one in my memory. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes feel very underused, in fact the parts of the story involving them onscreen didn't do anything for me - Worthington & Co.'s bits are far more watchable. The special effects aren't the best, including those used for 'the gods'... though Fiennes as Hades looks fine enough. It's mainly the creatures that don't work as well, most notably for the giant scorpions on the wide shots. On that note, I did rate the long, sweeping shots that are used throughout... the music is strong too, I'd even say Ramin Djawadi's work is the best thing about this 2010 flick to be honest. Not one I'd personally revisit... still gonna see what they did for the sequel, though.

It was too hot to go home so we decided to watch a movie. This movie is about Greek Mythology. I'm really not into that subject. It's a good thing I saw Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief so I was able to get a background on the gods. I think Percy Jackson is the modern Clash of the Titans. I appreciated Sam Worthington here. I always thought he looked better as an avatar than in person but in this movie he looked good. I guess I was super tired and sleepy that I couldn't help it I fell asleep. But it was for a short time. "idlip". I woke up and didn't want to miss a thing. The cinematography was great. My grade for this movie is B.
