Okay, I know I’m late on this one, but this one was delayed for shameful reasons that concern too much wine and two hours in movie theater bathroom.




Once I did get back to the movies to see this one, I was excited because of how it had been built up. I’d seen the first 10 minutes, but that was it, and only seeing part of a film drives me nuts, so here I was, in the comforting dark of the theater, finally watching Clash of the Titans.




For those who don’t know, it’s a remake of the old-school classic fantasy which starred Harry Hamlin (Mr. chin of the universe) and several others such as Maggie Smith (Harry Potter and the ‘well just about everything’), and Lawrenece Olivier.




It takes a bit of a different turn in many areas, but for the most part this stays pretty true to the original film, which i liked. The new stars to take the places of the old school ones, were such faces as Sam Worthington taking over as Perseus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades (a nice addition in my opinion) There was also a wonderful touch added…none other than Liam Neeson to play Zeus. He was brilliant, but I have to say Ralph stole the show. He was on fire, yet he was cool. He was completely evil, yet you understood why. He was a heartless jerk of an immortal…and you loved every second of it.




I liked Sam Worthington’s Perseus. He was quiet and angry, focused on avenging his parents. His performance showed the real definition of bravery, which everyone knows is doing the right thing even though you’re scared to death. I admired him for that. It’s rare.




The biggest star above all others of course, was the Kraken. As soon as I heard the words, “Release the Kraken!” I got goosebumps all over. Seeing the Kraken was wondrous, scary and a whole lot of fun. This was once of the very rare films that I was happy to compare the the old one and say I liked them both nearly equally. This one is definitely worth your time. And worth reliving your memories of the classic version as well.
