Viewing Notes

I never caught this when it came out because of the horrible reviews it received. But, then something happened; I re-watched the original! Guess what, the original is dumb also.

With that realization out of the way, I could give the CLASH OF THE TITANS remake a fair chance. And, for the most part, I enjoyed it!

Visually, the film is awesome. I’m a sucker for these types of films and if there’s a scene that will look great painted on the side of a van, I’m down. CLASH OF THE TITANS has a handful of visually stunning (in 2D) sequences that I had a lot of fun with.

Yes, the story is dumb and clunky. Yes the acting is a bit off and Sam Worthington has the charisma of a bowl of soup. But, I can’t help at applaud the attempt of spectacle on display here.
