Clash of the Titans... heard it.. waited for it.. and finally watched it..
Oh well, before even reading this blog you might've already read tons of bad reviews out there. Even right now as I write this blog, I'm seeing more popping up. I think only about 5% of the reviews had positive sides but those are only parts of the reviews not the whole reviews themselves. Even before I get to watch it, I've read some forums that reeks "Clash" haters. But the bad OPs didn't keep me from watching the film. I thought "I have to watch it before I can hate it"
After about 1 hour and 30 mins. of the film, I have now the right to say this: "hmm.. not bad". Well, it wasn't great but it wasn't as awful as they said it was. But I have to agree with some people out there, it was missing something. I'm not sure what it was missing but it was definitely missing something.. character development or maybe some extra scenes? oh well, we might never know [lol]. The thing is.. Sam's buzz cut bothered me a little, 'coz in a greek mythilogy movie, you'd expect a dude with long curly hair, but no.. a buzz cut was shown instead. Seeing it, I imagined sam jumping out of the Avatar movie set and then shooting the COTT without a gap between the two films. Another thing is that there was little (almost no) romance in it. In movies like these, one would expect romance between the hero and the girl by his side. It was a suprise to me that Perseus didn't even kiss his girl, Io. I thought "this is something different".. but it's about time we see a movie without any sex or heavy kissing in it. I'm on the wholesome side =).
I wouldn't say the acting was great, 'coz it was not great [except for Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes ~ oh.. did i spell that right?], but it did not deserve those uber hate moments that you would feel if the acting was an epic fail [and of course also from the hate OPs]. In defense to Sam Worthington's acting, I think it wasn't that bad.. I mean ~ c'mon people!! give the guy a break and give him room to grow! at least people should give him credit on the acting. Acting isn't easy [believe me I tried it].
Most comments say it was an 'epic fail'. I think it wasn't a fail. I think it was mediocre. And based from the commets I've read, a lot of people was expecting a big 'o blockbuster. I think it has something to do with the trailer. The trailer was so EPIC that the people expected an EPIC movie, thus, seeing it actually created the hate factor. Too bad, the hate factor 'infected' thousands of viewers.. viewers with blogs.. you can never underestimate the power of blogs.
curious? see the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpZ5D_Wc4cA&feature=related
Other comments i've read are just complaints that the movie is inferior to the original COTT. Well, i haven't seen the original and I don't care 'coz i hate watching old films.. I fear it might bore me to death ['coz that's what old films tend to do to me hahaha!] Focusing only on the effects, I'd say it rocked! xD now..focusing on the story, it made me somewhat interested on the Greek mythology itself. The story didn't bothered me a lot like most people out there. I liked it and I enjoyed it. It did what a movie suppose to do - to entertain. True, there are so many flaws but the movie didn't lose the adventure feel to the story. and finally... the SFX are AWESOME!!! Typing all of this down.. I feel like i'm receiving a lot of hate mail. : (. well, if I'm too kind then let me be.. and remember all of it this is just my opinion.
I'm giving it
7/10
