Clash of the Titans

The most exciting moments of this movie were not in the movie. They were in the trailer that I saw a million times before seeing the movie. The atmosphere of the 'o shit that's going to be great' feeling that swept over the crowd when they saw the trailer was a feeling not is absent during Clash of the Titans. The excuse made for this is that is was supposed to just be campy fun. But that's not what the movie was supposed to be. It was supposed to be high-level action. It wasn't. Clash of the Titans was rather very boring and killed two of the myths from 2009. The first killed is that 3D is going to take over. The glum and dark shade over Titans and the bullshit reasoning for putting it in there killed that. The second is that Sam Worthington of Avatar can act. He can't. All he does is wave his sword around and give the same glum face that they could modify to look lively in Avatar. That all being said, Clash of the Titans is not a bad movie. However, it is extremely corny, the effects and plot are ridiculous, it's pretty dimwitted (the mythology is pulled out of a movie producer's ass) and it's slightly sadistic. The plot is that the people are sick of the gods and they are going to fight back. It doesn't go over well considering that the gods have full reign over creepy crawly monsters (and the Kraken). Characters get picked off one by one as Worthington searches for some godly answer to defeating the gods, and Worthington just sort of shrugs his shoulders at each graphic death. In one scene where the teenage warrior is shattered into a million pieces, he moves on in about 2 seconds. Spoiler: At the end of the film, the girl who helped him on his journey is brought to life but no one else. Clash of the Titans is campy (in a bad way) and pretty unnecessary.
