Clash of the Titans is finally here and I went in to see the film and I was actually surprised. This film has been getting mainly negative reviews but this review will be a bit different...since I actually liked the film!
The plot is basically that Perseus(Worthington), born a god but raised as a man, seeks revenge aginst Hades (Fiennes) after his family is killed by Hades. He sets out on a quest, fights Medusa, meets Drac0(Mikkelsen), etc. (I won't spoil anymore for you!)
First, I'll start out with the make-up and the effects. I thought they were pretty good, the Kraken as well as other creatures in the movie looked pretty good, the only bad thing about the effects that I can say is that Medusa just looked God-Awful. The costumes and make-up were also pretty good especially on Acrisius( Flemyng).
The acting in this movie is pretty good, Worthington gave a decent performance, I think he's much better as a supporting actor more than the lead actor. Liam Nesson, Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Mads Mikkelsen clearly stole the show. These 4 actors were really the best thing about this movie and they gave really great performances. The rest of the cast was pretty good to!
Overall, I thought Letterier made a pretty good movie, sure it has it's crappy moments but overall I have to say I liked it and the action scenes were so AWESOME! Maybe it's because I'm a bit younger (16 years old) and it appeals more to me because I'm a teen but I liked it. And I've always been aginst Letterier directing The Avengers, even though I liked the film ;)
-3 out of 4 stars-
