Clash of the Titans


The special effects and action in this movie were pretty awesome, but it seemed like that was their main concern as the story and dialogue were lacking. It was very visually entertaining (Medusa was great and the Kraken looked fantastic but for some reason didn't show it much after building it up so much), but the story was a little hard to get into, was extremely predictable, and felt a little too rushed. I still walk away telling people it was pretty good, but I just feel like it had more potential especially dealing with a fascinating subject like Greek mythology.
So overall I would go see it, especially if you like action and the classical myths and legends, but just don't let your expectations get too high. Remember that it seems like it was written for special effects, not for the story. Oh, and I also heard the 3-D version is pretty bad. They decided to force a 3-D conversion when they were almost completely done shooting so it turned out kinda bad. So probably just see the normal version, that's what I saw.
