Movie Review: Clash of the Titans

[caitri]

Um. You might wanna check out cleolinda's brilliant parody first.

Right, back now? Excellent.

Okay, so Hollywood? Stay the fuck out of my cosmology cos it gives me a headache.

The ONLY things I liked about this film:

*Sam Worthington
*Bubo's cameo ("What IS this?" "Leave it!")
*Perseus doesn't hook up with Barbie
*some of the costuming (the Minoan dancing outfits were nice)

The things I didn't like? Pretty much the rest of the movie. OMG. What is WITH American culture and the hating on Hades? Not cool. So much of it was just...dumb. Like not even Independence Day dumb, like Phantom Menace dumb. I mean, ZEUS GIVES PERSEUS A FUCKING LIGHTSABER! WTF????

Grr.

That bad? I'm still debating with myself whether it's worth to go and see this movie, hmm... I enjoyed the original movie pretty much and from what's been posted on the web the remake does it no justice :/ Damn you, Hollywood..

Well I'm hugely biased in that 1) I loved the original film in all its cheeseball glory, 2) I'm a practicing pagan of the Greek pantheon so watching this makes my heart and my soul hurt, and 3)I'd like to see Sam Worthington in a movie I want to watch more than once.

I see.. Yep, it wouldn't hurt if Sam Worthington shows a bit of acting skills, not just starring in action driven movies :)

See I think Worthington has decent acting chops. He's the only memorable thing about these movies, and its not because of the well-written dialogue or anything!

Well, I need to see him in some other film genre, not just action flicks. Not that I have anything against them, but still think Worthington has a long way to go... But yeah, maybe I'm too harsh. I wasn't very impressed from him in Terminator Salvation and Avatar, that's all :)

Yeah he didn't have a whole lot to really do in either film. It'd be nice to see if they gave him something interesting where he has to, y'know, change expressions and all.

Yes, would be better... I wouldn't mind seeing him change himself completely also - putting on weight or some hard make-up. I just get a kick out of actors who are hardly recognizable in each role ^^
