Clash of the Titans

My boyfriend and I went to see this movie (clash of the titans) last night, and I must say at first i thought its definitely going to be a guys movie with all the action and graphics, But the movie was so much better than i anticipated it to be.I firstly don't know much about Greek mythology and am not really an action movie fan either, but this movie did it all for me. Secondly the movie wasn't to long which tends to bore me when a movie just drags on. I saw it in 3D and It was so captivating enough to keep anyone interested. If you don't have a solid understanding of Greek mythology don't worry!!!! its all explained clearly.

The Clash of the Titans is a remake of the 1981 film also clash of the titans. This remake is very loosely based upon the Greek myth of Perseus. Its Directed by Louis Leterrier who also directed the likes of ( the incredible hulk, transporter 1&2) it also stared Sam Worthington who was in Avatar and terminator salvation. The film was originally set for standard release on March 26, 2010. It was later announced that the film would be converted to 3-D and was released on April 2, 2010.

Its is set in the Greek city of Argos where a war is about to explode between man and the gods. Perseus (Sam Worthington) raised as a fisherman, but is actually a demi-god. Perseus is the son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) who is about to take on the gods after the death of his family. Zeus' brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes) was the one who kill his family, and Perseus wants to kill him. However, it is Perseus's destiny to rescue the city of Argos from the ruthless rage of Hades and his Kraken monster. With nothing to lose, Perseus leads a band of soldiers on a quest to defeat the Kraken. In doing this, Perseus will prevent Hades from overthrowing Zeus and in turn destroying mankind.


The movie also had Gemma Arterton who plays Lo, she has been in movies like Quantum of Solace, St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold, Rock and Roller just to name a few . Her character Lo in the movie seemingly serves only two purposes: to arouse men and to provide Perseus with all the necessary back-story. I think the casting directors could have found someone better looking and slimmer for the role she played as an ageless seductive half god half man.Nevertheless, i liked her in the other movies i have seen her in but didn't think she fitted into this role. overall i think its a good movie, it wasn't all over the place, and definitely recommend it.
