Clash of the Titans is, in simple terms, all fun and games, with beautiful cinematics and very cool Greek mythology. It's very different from the original, the only thing staying intact is the beloved metal owl. It's a shame really, because underneath its exterior is a shoddy script topped with a plot with plenty of holes. Sam Worthington's involvement in saving the earth from the Gods comes from little motive, and he looks like he's been brought up as a war veteran, not a fisherman. Clash of the Titans has a huge cast that are lost sight of rather easily. Characters either have little development or are dispatched with ease. Unless you're a God, you're fucked (is the moral of the story). Fiennes and Arterton prevail, but even they struggle from the clunkiness that consumes this movie.
3/5
