Clash of the Titans Review

I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peak on this film and it does not disappoint.  If you’ve seen the original and loved it, you’ll certainly love this version.  Acting stalwarts Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes put in performances that are strictly exceptional.  Sam Worthington plays a noble role, but his accent is a little hard to get through at some parts of the movie.  That’s not the fault of the actor, but of the voice editor.  (Spoiler Alert) Bubo makes a cameo, but you have to really look out for it.  You will be pleasantly surprised at the action and the story.  It resembles the original in many ways, but the current version is more of an character-driven story from Perseus’ point of view.  You see external and internal battles which lend a sense of realism to the story.  From the character development to the outside struggles, it’s a pretty complete movie for something that is supposed to be action-oriented and full of the mythology.  Not bad.  Is it Oscar worthy?  No, because this doesn’t fit that mold.  You will be pleasantly surprised, though.  It is rather children friendly and a pretty good date movie.  I give this a 8 only because of some of the slow parts in the beginning-middle.
