Has anyone seen Clash of the Titans?
SPOILER ALERT
Well first of all, the memory of the movie is kinda hazy, so I might get some of the details mixed up.
I didn't think the movie was great. The action-fighting parts were cool, and I liked the actor who played the main character, but other than that I wasn't very impressed.
That being said, I thought the movie had an interesting concept. The people were tired of being thankful for all the things that happened in their life, and they were mad at the gods. They tore down the statue of Zeus [sp?] and stopped praying and all those kinds of things.
So Haiti was unleashed to punish them because, in the movie, the gods relied on prayers to keep them immortal. Which didn't make sense. The Gods thought that if people got scared enough they would begin to pray again.
The movie goes on and the people themselves defeat the gods, or the kracken or whatever, and Zeus told Percy that the gods should have treated the humans better in the first place.
It didn't make sense technically, but I thought that the idea in general was pretty cool.
This is sort of a pointless thread, but I'd like to hear what you thought about the movie. If you think there is a God, do you think that we should be thankful for everything that happens in our lives?
Man is the cruelest animal.
I hated that fucking owl.
Harry Hamlin is pretty awesome though.
This is why we can't have nice things.

Explains the earthquake though.
Too soon?

No, it's Haiti. We're talking about the new one.
I likes the myths, and the trailer for this was awesome.
But i realised that sometimes i would rather just watch movie trailers than the actual movie.

Is it where Wyclef pops out and says "Yo, wuss Kraken?"
HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG! I AM SOOOOOO FUNNY!
I refuse to see anything that can't be arsed to come up with a decent tag line, let alone a new idea for a movie.
Titans Will Clash?
12 Men Will Get Angry.
Wars Will Occur In The Stars.
The Suspects Will Be The Usual.
Trains Will Be Spotted.
Shawshanks Will Be Redeemed.
And so on.
Arses Will Clench.
It would have been a good movie if you didn't know much about Greek mythology. There were a lot of technical errors. The man who played Perseus was attractive though, as was the woman who played Io. They saved it.

Agreed.
Man is the cruelest animal.
it was better than i thought, but def. nothing great, special effect were good, a little to cheesy in places.
It's okay...thoughtless, pointless fun.
yep
nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it.
As the original one was a key film of my childhood and I am in love with all things mythical, I'll still check this out, and I'll be sorely disappointed, I'm sure.
The movie will come out during Fall 2013 over here, right now I'm totally anticipating Scorsesses new movie Aviator.

Bahahahaha
I like this Hilla-rat girl.
Over here? Where's that?
Man is the cruelest animal.
Thank you, my self-esteem went up a level.
Man is the cruelest animal.
Derek does it better.
Over here? Where's that?
Narnia.
Derek does it better.
That's what she said!
Classic!
I was totally going to say Narnia.
Oh, and,
This is why we can't have nice things.
Did anyone notice Sam Worthington's massive Aussie accent?
"I hope you realise the story you're telling yourself, because every day you die for it."
yeah...he's an Aussie.
I loved the original when I was a kid. Good move saving the beast for the end of the movie in this one; the first one was bookended by two clay sea monster appearances.
Replacing mechanical owl with hot chick - good move.
Making sure that you can tell who the hero is because he's the only dude with stubble and a crew cut, and everyone else has shaggy hair and beards - good move.
Having "on the nose" dialogue in every scene, "This is the River Styx. We will need the gold coin." Bad move.
Is Harry Hamlin dead? Dude needed a cameo.
Shit blowing up, swords, monsters, and Liam Neeson chewing the scenery . . . I give this three claymation greek beasts out of four.
Awesome review, fventurini.

This is how all movies should be rated from now on.
This rating system works especially well during Oscar season.
I dunno what to think of this movie. Greek mythology aside (movie didn't follow it very closely anyway), I found a couple things funny.
Io: Uh, yeah, I know all ya'll are putting your lives at risk for this Medusa broad's head, but I think I'm just gonna sit this one out. Ya know...
Everybody else: So you're not gonna help?
Io: Nah...Girls aren't allowed.
Everybody else: Oh, that totally makes sense! We got it. Most of us are just regular dudes, and could totally use an immortal chick's help, but...you just wait right here, love!
And then, they can't just ask Medusa to come? Maybe help out for a bribe or something? Just bust up in her house, beheading people...
Also, scene with the Kraken was pretty anticlimactic. And I love how Percy's a wicked jacked fisherman that knows how to weild a sword better than a seasoned soldier.
Meh, Greek mythology never was very commonsensical, anyway.
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."

Dead on.
Man is the cruelest animal.
I think there are more movies than just this one that are guilty of having a peaceful hero who suddenly becomes a swordfighting beast, with either A) just one lesson or 
becoming angry.
The hot immortal chick had to stay outside . . . otherwise who would Calibos gut with a sword to begin the next fight scene, right? She should have explained, "I'm sorry Perseus, but I cannot have a slow, hollywood death scene if I instantly turn to stone. I shall stay outside to be mortally wounded by Calibos instead. See you after everyone else is dead."
I don't know, it seemed to me that Madusa would be difficult to bargain with. Tough to cut a deal when you can't look in someone's eyes. I'd be chopping heads off too.
Release the Kraken is my new phrase after hitting a softball homer.
Release the Kraken has been my go-to phrase since 1996 for those special times wit the ladies. Awwwww yeah.
The Medusa scene wasn't even supposed to be a fight scene. In the real myth Medusa was asleep with her sisters, and that wouldn't have made a very interesting scene. Also, I was disappointed that Hermes didn't make an appearance in the movie. I like Hermes.
Hermes...the limbo king.
"...you want to be truly unselfish? Love someone or die for someone. Those are the only good deeds you can perform without any hope of personal gain."
I don't get it.
"A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism." -Carl Sagan
"Am I cruel? Probably. Is she an idiot? Yes." -jane s.
I realize now that it sounds contradictory. But whatever. There are "real myths," meaning, the original myths.
I saw the original. I haven't seen the new one, but I want to cuz Liam Neeson is in it.
"your mind can set you free"
Yeth?
I don't understand the reference.
It's okay...thoughtless, pointless fun.
My only advice to people who are considering it is to avoid the 3-D version. They threw it together because of the success of "Avatar" and it looks shitty.
