Clash of the Titans (2010)

The remake of the 1981 film tells the mythological story of Perseus, son of Zeus, and his quest to defeat the Kraken, a powerful titan who threatens the city of Argos and its beautiful princess.

     This movie made me laugh it was so bad. The acting was strange. Sam Worthington tried to hide his Australian accent, but by the end of the movie, he had just given up. The women were all straight-faced and tried to sound mysterious, the men were over-the-top, especially Ralph Fiennes as Hades, he was certainly in rare form with his smoker voice, and Liam Neeson obviously just phoned it in. That's the only explanation for his overwhelmingly shiny body armor. The story was entertaining and had potential, but there were so many plot holes, nothing seemed to make much sense. The worst part though were the video-game graphics. Seriously, it looked like the animators had run out of time and sent their film off half-finished. This movie tried so hard to be epic, but it was just campy. A good laugh, though.
