Clash of the What????

So I wasn't going to write about "Clash of the Titans" but now that it was number one for the weekend I can't keep my mouth shut.

Ok first of all it was only number one for a couple of reasons:

1. Not much competition:

The only other two movies opening this weekend were "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?" and as much as I love Perry not everyone does, and Miley Cryus in "The Last Song" (Ha. I'm not going to even give that any of my time) "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Alice in Wonderland" are still out but are mostly for kids.

2. We all were tricked into seeing it... and in 3D:

Yes, I watched it, but I like bad movies. No one thought it would be the greatness but Liam Neeson is in it. It has to be kind of good right?

Nope.

Ok I'll start with the pros:

1. It moved pretty quick. It was only two hours. No 20 minutes of slowly walking through the desert or long boring randomly placed sex scene. It kept moving and something was always happening.

2. Some of the battles were cool. Which is always fun.

3. Sam Worthington is hot.

4. Liam Neeson said "Release the Kraken!" and Ralph Fiennes was in it.

5. It looked pretty cool. Nothing to write home about but it was fun to watch.

And the con's:

1. Wait what happened? It moved quick, and while that's way better then sitting though a boring three hour flick, they could of added a little more time to at least explain who was who. People were just popping in from all over the place.

2. Wait what's going on? Lots of fights but the editing was off. Some would turn around with no sword and then in the reverse they'd have two! Ok, not that extreme, but you could never really tell who was fighting who or what.

3. You're HOT Sam, but you can't really act. We all kinda of saw it in Avatar but here it was bad. But I'd pick you over Rob Pattinson any day. Oh and how did Perseus get a buzz cut back then?

4. Mr. Fiennes you don't always have to sound like Voldemort, but we love you.

5. 3D? It was not shot in 3D it was just put in during post production, and it really makes no difference. Seriously it doesn't. Save your money.

6. Glitter!!!! So it's decided Zeus, our favorite God, and Edward, are not so favorite vampire, in a one on one glitter battle. Who can glitter the most? I'm pulling for Zeus his shine will burn the eyes.

7. That's not how it happened. Ok I'm not an expert in Greek Mythology, but I do know some of it. I know enough to know they got it wrong.

Ok I guess *SPOILER ALERT*

Acrisius, Perseus's Grandfather was the one who cast Perseus and his mother, Danae's in the sea. Both mother and child survived.

Perseus ended up with Andormeda.

Perseus gave Medusa's head to Athena. Getting Medusa's head was Perseus's greatest moment and it over took the big battle in the movie.

Io was a Nymph Zeus kept banging and hide her from Hera by turning her into a cow. Hera found out and tried to punish Io. Io did eventually return to human form and had Zeus's child and then went on to marry some guy and have more kids. So Perseus doesn't even end up with her and why would Zeus give his son his left overs?










*ALERT OVER*



Ok so that is that. I just had to get a few things off my chest. It's an alright movie, but I'd wait for the DVD you don't have to see it in theaters. I never saw the original so maybe that gives more insight, but whatever. That's all I have to say about that.
