Right at the very beginning of the Maximum Movie Mode included on this disc, director Louis Leterrier raves that he loves the original movie, though he only saw it once. Time's a wastin' so he better get Kraken. Although Perseus doesn't really give a rat's ass about his true heritage, the fate of the city, or what the ladies really think about his crew cut, as soon as he learns from a mysterious immortal named Io (Gemma Arterton) that Hades will be ripe for a beatdown if his sea beast is destroyed - he quickly signs up for adventure. This is also where it is revealed that Perseus is actually a demigod - the son of Zeus himself. This time, Hades presents the kingdom with an ultimatum: sacrifice the princess in ten days at the height of the eclipse, or else his monstrous creation known as the Kraken will tear down Argos. Perseus doesn't have to wait very long to get the opportunity he's after, though, when King Kepheus (Vincent Regan) and Queen Cassiopeia (Polly Walker) involve themselves and their beautiful daughter Andromeda (Alexa Davalos) in some blasphemous behavior, and once again an enraged Hades returns to unleash his wrath. Now with his parents and sister gone, Perseus is steaming-and vows to avenge their deaths. When the dust settles, one of the only survivors is Perseus (Sam Worthington), an innocent bystander who was fishing with his adopted family nearby and ended up getting caught in the middle of the chaos. The gods in turn, don't appreciate the disrespect mankind is showing their deities, so a furious Hades (Ralph Fiennes)-God of the Underworld, lashes out with his own brand of punishment. The soldiers of Argos are angry at the gods, and decide to take out their frustrations by defiling a statue of Zeus (Liam Neeson). It seems everyone is in dire need of anger management in ancient Greece. The only difference is now Warner has also managed to tear the heart and soul right out of it. Sadly, though, what we get with this new reimagining is just more of the same-bad writing, stiff acting, and some really terrible effects. Plus, as much as I do love the old Ray Harryhausen classic, I won't deny that the script is rough, the performances are wooden, and the special effects (as charming as they are) are a bit outdated for the time.
After all, thirty years is a long time, and with so many advances in filmmaking there are countless things that couldn't have been done back then that can easily be accomplished now.
#Clash of the titans 2010 full movie free torrrent update
Sure, I will admit there's probably some bias behind that statement, considering my affection towards the original 1981 version, but to be honest I was actually looking forward to a modern update of this film. This review is bound to ruffle a few feathers so I might as well just get it over with quick and painless band-aid style: The remake of 'Clash of the Titans' stinks.
