Titans remake is an 'epic fail'

Tips Hamil If you have already seen the unfortunate remake of the 1981 Desmond Davis film, “Clash of the Titans” read no further - your money and time have already been wasted and you will gain little benefit from this review. French director Louis Letterier manages to make a Greek epic into an epic fail with an attempted facelift on a revered classic. The star power of Liam Neeson (Zeus) and Ralph Fiennes (Hades) could not salvage the film’s stale and disjointed script and almost amusingly bad acting.

Buku Panduan Lengkap Cara Cepat HamilThe film wastes no time in introducing an oddly clean-cut Sam Worthington playing the role of Perseus, the illegitimate son of Zeus. Worthington somehow manages to play the exact same character he played as Mike Sully in the film “Avatar” - initially wounded and resistant to responsibility, then abruptly cocky upon discovering his destiny to take down “the man.”

The film purges all chances of character development for the sake of meaningless battle scenes and special effects. Perseus leads a crew of characters which the audience has no reason to care about on various quests. Persues embarks to claim Medusa’s head and defeat the infamous “Kraken” before it devours Princess Andromeda and destroys the coastal city of Argos.

Big whoop.

The audience’s attachment to the princess and the city is nonexistent. Instead, Perseus whines about the gods and doesn’t even kill enough creatures to warrant his hubris. When the Kraken is finally exposed, any hopes of an incredible battle scene are promptly sunk, along with the creature in the bottom of the Aegean.

Save your money and borrow the original film from the library. You will be far more satisfied and less embarrassed for the film-making community. One star.
