Clash of the titans Went this evening with Block and Graham to see the movie Avatar in 3D it was a little pricey and had heard the special effects were good but the plot sucked. I am here to say I thought James Cameron did a wonderful job on the movie, and the plot was just fine. I recommend seeing it if not for anything but the special effects. It also had a preview for the remake of Clash of the Titans (yes world, the B rated movie was copied) Let me say I think I am almost as excited about seeing this remake as I am the Alice in Wonderland movie that should be coming in March. Yes, Yes, Yes my movie list groweth.
First off: Casting. Sam Worthington seems to get mixed reviews on his acting by some critics - some love him, some are medium on him, some can't stand him. From the two films I've seen him in now (Avatar is the other) I have found him to be a pretty solid actor - not amazing, but he has delivered two very nice performances in both films I have seen him in - he was the main character\good guy in both, too so you get to see plenty of him. So with that being said, I thought Worthington played Perseus outstanding - some of you may have other thoughts about his performance in 'Titans', but I thought he played Perseus great.
Ralph Fiennes is also rock-solid as Hades - you really feel his "evilness" in the film - other villains in other films aren't acted as great, but I think Fiennes was perfect for the role. Lo (Gemma Arterton) who had kept an eye on Perseus throughout his life is a very beautiful character and likeable, too. Arterton was also rock-solid in her role. Liam Neeson on the other hand... some reason I had mixed feelings on his role as Zeus - he was good, but not great. I don't know what it is (I will probably get questions on why I didn't like him as well - I honestly can't say - just something about him seemed a little "off" but to each his own, right?) Mads Mikkelson (sorry, I can't help but laugh at that hilarious name) plays Draco great, too. While Princess Andromeda (surprisingly doesn't have that many scenes when you consider she is a princess after all - but I haven't seen the original yet, either, so.. yeah.) who is played by Alexa Davalos is pretty good, too. I didn't see many flaws in the casting in this film, either besides maybe Neeson as Zeus, but even he wasn't terrible.. so I think the cast is all around nothing short but great
