Was actually good film, although the story was short I enjoyed it. The effects were fantastic- I was just sad about how many humans got killed though... I did read Perseus story way before this movie and thought it the movie was a good adaptation but there was something lacking.. A bit more depth maybe or drama...I'm not sure.. many people say the earlier version was better.. What did you think about this movie?

I have not seen either version of it...But I did read some bad reviews about it. It looks good though- from the trailer, since they are usually good; the effects and action is great... But maybe it does lack depth since it spent too much time on the action.

yeah, there were a lot of bad reviews about it, fortunately I didn't let them stop me from watching this movie.. I am also planning on watching the second one which is now about the Titans..

I've watched it a few times. I'm a fan of mythology, Greek or Roman. I don't usually expect movies to really depict what was written in the book but that's all right with me since I'm just after the entertainment value of movies. I did however was not that thrilled with the movie. I was hoping that it was more on an epic type film. Still, the remake was far more engaging to watch than the original one :)

I haven't really seen original one- i think that followed the mythology more. i am not after who followed the story more too- as long as the interpretation is good, and the action, effects and acting.

I want to see it. I think maybe I saw an older one? with Brad Pitt? Looks like I could stand to watch them both.. or all.. (I find myself weeping over the horrors of warfare though.)

I haven't seen the older one but I don't think Brad Pitt is in it, it's quite old- like in the 80s... There isn't that much violence, since there isn't that mjuch blood. Just people getting killed by monsters..

I think the one you saw is "Troy". Cause Brad Pitt has acted in only one movie based on historical events, which is Troy.

I haven't seen the latest one yet. There have been several remakes of this story. Glad to hear that the latest one has good effects. Did they have the little metal owl in this one? I always liked him. I may have to put it in my queque of movies on Netflix.

Atleast the owl was in the movie.

The latest one is very much available anywhere since this has been shown in 2010 I think. Too bad the metal owl was just shown for a few seconds...when Perseus asked what it was and the soldiers said just leave it..

I agree. It was awfully short. The shame is that they took an opportunity for a good story (which was a remake anyway) and just used it as a vessel for Sam Worthington's rising star. They just wanted to rake in some dough. I think they could have really elaborated on the story some. The writing was good, all things considered, and the effects were actually better than I thought they would be. But the story went by far too quickly. I was hoping it would be something like Troy, but it was more like the typical action-adventure flick churned out five times per year.

And forgot to add: Like all things popular, short and prosperous in Hollywood, there is going to be a sequel to Clash of the Titans. So that may really expand on the story some.

Yeah, i hope they bring in more depth now, now that Perseus has a kid. This movie was mostly action and adventure... It would be nice to learn and see more character interaction..

When we look at the rating of this film in the trusted movie critic sites, the score is just low, averaging only 4 out of 10. When I saw the movie, the depth of its story is lacking but when you look at the total picture especially the effects, they were really good. And that's how to entertain people, to show a movie with scenes comparable to reality. The reality wherein the viewers could say that the gods/event looks very real.

The effects are amazing, but still they should have tried more... to really make the story more interesting. What people are looking for now is entertainment and that they get something out of the movie..

i think that the movie is great considering the effects that it made... i love the head of Medusa, i think it look so real... i just hope that the next movie will have even greater effects...

I love the effects to, it was perfect. The flying bat-ish looking things were awesome and how they turned into Hades. I don't like the medusa graphics though, too animated, they could have placed a real -looking woman..

Considering the special effects, I can say the movie was good. Well so will be its sequal "Wrath of the Titans". Dont ask for story in such kind of movies as most of us are already aware of Greek Mythology. So a much effort is put in to making the scenes look as much real as possible. Enjoy mylotting...

Yeah, the special effects were great... But they should also focus on making the story more interesting and explore more characters too. [em]thumbup[/em Action and effects isn't the only thing that makes a god movie..

I agree. There was something missing. Yes, depth, I guess. And, like you, I liked it nonetheless. I remembered I watched it in 3D.

i am not really a fan of 3D since I do not like wearing glasses and it kind of hurts my eyes.. They look the same to me anyway. I hope the next movie is much better.

I now the story of the titans though, but I was wondering why the movie was called Clash of the Titans if there were no Titans at all. I am looking forward to the next movie since we will be seeing the Titans now. So sad Io isn't there anymore..

I have watched this movie twice. The second time I have watched it was I didn't know that I already have watched it. I thought I haven't but I did a long time ago. I like the movie.
