Clash of the Titans (2010) Movie Synopsis, Poster and Trailer
Clash of the Titan Movie Review
Pinoy Movie Blogger Reviews
Clash of the Titans is a 2010 retelling of the Greek mythology hero Perseus and when I say retelling then do not expect it to be as loyal as the 1981 stop motion movie version (if you have watched the movie back in the days). Overall, the movie was completely rendered in 3D as I once in a while remove my 3D glasses to take a peek. The emerging and the rampage of the glorious beast, the Kraken was probably one of the best 3D moments of the film. Well, the acting was just okay but definitely needed a bit more umph to it.
Another one of those epic adventure movie about one man against the Gods. A quest of godly proportions. Well, it can not (or can it?) be blamed on the writers since the movie was loosely based from the popular Perseus Greek mythology itself so expect a some very traditional lines like (if you'll excuse me) "Let's get that bitch!"... whut the? Yup, you got that right "bitch" and "hell" have been used in this movie of epic and ancient Greece setting which made me scratch my head. Besides these two inappropriate words incorporated in the movie, I have also noticed a lack of smooth transition from some scenes.
Seeing it in 3D, I think it delivered some nice 3D moments but there are somethings missing. When the "Woah" factor from the audience came from a pre-movie trailer about owls rather than the actual movie itself (or maybe my fellow movie audience were just too silent about expressing their awe regarding the movie), then you can't help but think that the effectiveness of the movie falls short in some strange ways. The probable reason behind this might be because of the 3D rendering of the movie in just a short span of time, and for what? Just because 3D is the latest "hype".
PMB Recommendation
The Verdict
Clash of the Titans is one of those movies that is better seen on the big screen (or better yet in full 3D or Digital cinema). The movie is definitely not a reboot of the 1981 Clash of the Titans, but a new one which was inspired of that and the book. Through flashy graphics, beautiful women, and a classic storyline the movie has overshadowed its shortcomings to some extent.
