Liam Neeson in Clash of the Titans (2010) releases the Kraken

I was so psyched to see the new version of the cheesy 80’s movie I loved so much.  And I really wanted to see Sam Worthington naked.  Well, you don’t see him naked, but you do see him kick ass. He has an unpolished charm as Perseus that engages you, and makes up for the mediocre script.  Gemma Arterton travels with him as Io, mortal who was cursed to never age.  Apparently, she also has the ability to avoid dirt, stains, or bruises and can smuggle clean clothes anywhere.  They were in some kind of ditch and she rolls out in a clean toga with a cashmere shawl. Where the hell did she pack that outfit? Perseus and the other men looked like they have been fighting for days, and her makeup was perfect.  Liam Neeson, as Zeus, lets Hades release the Kraken, and the king of Argos has to sacrifice his daughter Andromeda to it so save the city.  I’m sorry, did Hades think the beautiful princess would satiate the Kraken’s appetite? I don’t think she would be enough.  That thing was huge. It took five minutes of the film just to surface from the sea.  Andromeda is like half a potato chip, not even a full appetizer for this thing.  I believe a handful of Pegasi, some maidens and a small army would cover the daily caloric intake for a Kraken not just one measly princess. But I digress…The fight scenes were enough to move the plot forward and the director’s interpretation of Mt. Olympus was beautiful.  I suggest saving your money and see the movie in 2D.  They filmed the movie in 2D and then added the 3D components after, so it may not look as good as Avatar.
