Amazon.co.uk Review:
"Release the Kraken!" Ah, it could only be Clash of the Titans, the 2010 remake that retains the instruction to unleash the great beastie from the sea. The 1981 original boasted Ray Harryhausen's legendary stop-motion technique of animating various mythological creatures--it was his final feature project--and given the cornball approach of the movie in general, that was the main draw. The remake supplies new state-of-the-art special effects (released theatrically in 3-D) and a nicely muscular sense of momentum. Sam Worthington (the Avatar guy) plays Perseus, a demigod who doesn't know that Zeus (Liam Neeson) is his father. Perseus is selected to lead an expedition to find and slay the Medusa, lest Zeus's evil brother Hades (Ralph Fiennes, in fine slinking mode) rain down misery upon a seaport--and you just know that means the Kraken is coming. Ye gods, it's a mess, and we haven't even mentioned the witches and the harpies and the giant scorpions. But if we did, it would be clear that Clash of the Titans is a perfectly dandy popcorn epic, unpretentious and punchy. Director Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2) gets a fine rhythm going during Perseus's trek, and you can even forgive the hokey shafts-of-light-through-clouds look of Olympus. Leterrier also had the good sense to import the marvelous Danish star Mads Mikkelsen to provide mentoring duties to Perseus; Gemma Arterton and Alexa Davalos fulfill the eye-candy roles. It's up to individual viewers to choose which they prefer--Harryhausen's magically hand-wrought creations (his Medusa sequence is an absolute killer) or the 21st century's slick computer-generated variations. But nostalgia aside, it would be hard to deny that this is one case where the remake tops the original. --Robert Horton

- What a disappontmentI was really looking forward to watching this as the original movie from the 80s was a great film. Oh dear I should not have wasted my money. Some fine actors completely wasted as special effects seemed to take precedence over storytelling which should involve the audience. Come back Ray Harryhausen you are sorely missed. Ray's Medusa the Gorgon was truly frightening and the sequence involving her in the original film was full of suspense.
As well as the overdone special effects the ... Read More

- Clash of the TitansI received this DVD very promptly and it arrived well packaged.
I am a little disappointed with this DVD. In comparison with the original, I felt the Sam Worthington portrayed no emotion/charisma to the part of Perseus, in fact it was like watching Phil Mitchell running around in gladiator type costumes. He didn't fall in love with Andromeda, ~ a major part of this story, and the very reason he wanted to save Argos from it's fate. Having said that, the special effects were really good, ... Read More

- Almost as good as the original........??I am old enough to have watched the original the first time around, a great film I have always remembered from my childhood. In fact one of only a relatively few films I have watched more than twice.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the new film. Whilst not identical to the original it retained the good bit, the story, and improved on the special effects.
If you like fantasy films with a bit of an edge eg.300 you will like this.

- Back from the future!O, dear. the yanks have done a psycho-babble to Greek legends and failed terribly...
The original was far better, included more of O's journeys and horrors. by modern cgi standards they may have been a bit hammy, bit did i fall asleep during Clash of the ..who? Titans...a brief explanation was given near start but from then on the film went downhill...FAST!
It was boring and only gravity to it to some ending. What happened to the cheeky OWL? Athena's pet doesn't get a look in cf. with original. ... Read More
