Movie Info

The 1981 mythological fantasy adventure Clash of the Titans is resurrected in this remake from Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier. Discovered at sea as an infant by a weary fisherman, demigod Perseus (Sam Worthington) grows up with no real knowledge of his celestial origins until his watchful guardian, Io (Gemma Arterton), informs him that he is the offspring of Zeus (Liam Neeson). When Zeus' brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes) casually wipes out Perseus' family, the grieving son vows to show

The clashing titans in Clash of the Titans are a pretty sorry lot.

It's a little campy, a little creepy, a little too long and sometimes a bit of a mess. But it all adds up to a welcome dose of old-fashioned b-movie entertainment.

On July 10th, it will be released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and only then, I feel, will it truly come into its own.

Goofball clash with the actors providing plenty of ham to go with the cheesy story.

3D is but one of many problems plaguing Clash of the Titans.

The action sequences are chaotic, the plot is difficult to follow and the cheesy sets sometimes look like props from a theme-park ride.

One time in college I watched Robot Monster on TV with red/blue 3D glasses from 7-11 and that was better for my eyes.

I should have known better than to look forward to Clash of the Titans, a film that unironically employs the tagline 'Titans Will Clash'.

How could this have been so completely messed up? Little boys playing with action figures could've improvised a better story than this garbage.

Clash Of The Titans fails because of a very simple principle - the script is not good - and no amount of slaying Krakens that look like the lovechild of Cloverfield and a rancor is going to save it.

... a picture that mistakes furious action for excitement and ponderous performances for drama.

Sadly, the Kraken is far scarier in our imaginations. Just like the 1981 version is far better in our memories.

"Trash--er--Clash of the Titans" is visually mediocre and abysmally written...

While the new film is not awful, it's almost as tedious as the original. (Blu-ray Edition)

Sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone, even if well enough is not perfect.

Clash of the Titans lives up to its promise of fast action and big visuals, but will not be seen as a VFX classic in the years to come.

Unlike the original, which made the 10-year-old version of myself want to don a bedsheet toga, fashion a shield from a garbage can lid, and behead evil gorgons, this version was kind of a snooze for both him and me.

This update's Achilles heel is its pervasive and dizzying, shot-too-tight camera technique.

It has no aspirations to be anything more than the popcorn movie it is, and for those amiably disposed to the genre, that should be enough.

The CGI extravaganza can't overcome all the other flaws: sloppy exposition, terrible dialogue, heavy-handed acting, and not a single likable character in the bunch.

This was a fun movie. Watching it on a big drive in screen was interesting and fun. It really did hearken back to the old movie. I can def see that 3d would have been worthless.

A warrior with the blood of Zeus running through his veins is charged with defeating a fearsome creature who is set to be unleashed on the city of Argos if its princess is not sacrificed. I wasn't a big fan of the original film so I went into Clash Of The titans with low expectations and surprise, surprise. Even they
