Myth: Clash of the Titans wins Oscars

Clash of the Titans, released April 2, was an upsetting remake of the original 1981 film. It had very few memorable scenes apart from those in the trailers broadcast all over the world.
This is a very brief and rushed retelling of the story of Perseus. The plot line is very simple: Zeus’ demi-god son, Perseus, is mad because Hades killed his parents and sister so he wants to kill him. Wow, if only it had been original. This movie differs from the original in not just script but quality as well. Through either acting deficiencies or a poor director, the film was very up-and-down.
First there is 20 minutes of action, then there is a slow point, and back to the action as possible, etc. etc..
Either it is Sam Worthington’s acting or the way all directors want his performances to resemble every other piece he has done; a man who dose not know who he is or has an identity crisis (Avatar 2009) and later goes on to “find himself”. It seems as if Worthington has caught a case of Damon’s (Matt Damon), the inability to play any other roll than one you are comfortable with.
Overall, this is a perfect guy movie. Lacking in the storyline but has so much action it makes up for it, but for the avid film viewer or movie buff, waiting for the DVD would be advisable.
Rating: 4/10
