Synopsis

“Half-man, half-god Perseus (Worthington) is raised by kindly fisher folk, but when they are killed by Hades (Fiennes) - collateral damage in the war between men and gods - he sets forth on a perilous revenge quest to find his destiny, rescue a princess and resolve his issues with his father Zeus (Neeson), king of the gods.”

“Perseus embarks on a quest to avert war between the Gods and mankind. En route, Perseus clashes with the gorgons and a giant scorpion in the desert. Both provide formidable tests of the hero's mettle. The beautiful Io aids Perseus on his epic odyssey but even the offspring of one of the Gods is powerless against some denizens of the land and sea.”

“Clash of the Titans is a 2010 fantasy film and remake of the 1981 film of the same name (the rights to which had been acquired by distributors Warner Bros. in 1996). As with the 1981 film, the story is very loosely based upon the Greek myth of Perseus.”

My Review


Clash of the Titans. Sounds impressive right? For me it was a really good movie. I enjoyed it thoroughly especially the characters and special effects. I did enjoy the plot, but there were a few points where it thought it could have improved.

But overall I did enjoy it the climax was tense. Battles here. Battles there. Its Action! Action! Action! It is everything I enjoy in a film, it’s all mainly action which I think is very good. As long as the plot makes sense of course.

The character Perseus (Sam Worthington) is the main protagonist (hero) of the story. I think his part is very significant obviously I loved the way how his character took control and became the hero he needed to be. From when Worthington was a mere peasant fisherman he became an epic fighter by finding out who he really was, which was the son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) and trying to save a small coastal city from Hades and the terrifying Kraken.

I loved all the special effects they were really great like the giant scorpions and the kraken. It looked so real and it was really good watching it in 3D. I overally enjoyed it thoroughly. It was a truly spectacular film.


Overall I thought the film was very good some points could be better but overall I would rate it 9.5 out of 10. It was very good when I saw it.
