Here it goes, my first review.
Clash of the Titans was exactly what I expected it to be, if not a bit more. I was hoping to enjoy it, and I did. To say that it improved on the special effects of the original would be an understatement, but to most people, the special effects are what make the first film a classic. Both the original and the remake suffer from a somewhat weak plot that is basically there to move the characters from action scene to action scene. The acting has been improved upon over the original, with Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation, Avatar) in Harry Hamlin's role as Perseus. I might be biased in my opinion towards Sam, but I think that for an action star, he is a rather good actor. However, the Gods steal the show. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are great as Zeus and Hades, respectively. There was clearly a lot of effort put into the production, with character design and make-up both looking pretty great.
I ended up seeing this movie in 3D, and in my opinion, it was not as terrible as everyone is saying it is, but then again, its not very good either. It was obvious that the conversion from 2D to 3D was a very rushed job. The very quick editing and fast camera movements make it hard to focus your eyes, which becomes somewhat of a hassle during fast-paced action scenes. If you really want to see the Kraken get released in 3D, go right ahead, but it's really not necessary. All in all, I'd say that the remake of Clash of the Titans was somewhat enjoyable, but flawed in the same places that the original was.
