Clash of the Titans (Charlie)

When i saw the trailer for this movie i got so pumped i almost attacked some guy on the street. I love Greek Mythology and a remake of a classic film. Add in Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes. This should be the greatest movie ever made.

I hated this movie. I was hoping it would wash out the bad taste of Percy Jackson. I think it was the biggest let down since the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Ten minutes into the movie i realized they did no research into Greek Mythology. Hades goes up to Mount Olympus when ever he wants. This is just one example but i could go on for hours. You get nothing from the rest of the gods. Its Zeus and Hades and that's it. The original movie at least had all the politics of the gods.
The acting is boring and i think Ralph Fiennes phoned it in from the set of Harry Potter. The only person who stood out in the movie was Gemma Arterton who plays IO (Who is not even in the story of Perseus).
Also i hate when the main character of a story has the least amount of lines. Especially when they are suppose to become a great leader. He does have a Braveheart/Henry V speech towards the end of the movie which seems really out of the blue. I was waiting for one of the other soldiers to say "Oh Hey! I forgot you came along on this journey. You know if you stop being a little b**** and act like a demi-god maybe i would not have lost all my fellow soldiers. But thank you for your speech! The families of everyone we lost can hug your speech when we get home."
I would avoid this movie. There are a lot of other movies out there that have better plot, Characters, dialog, acting.... ok everything!

And I will say it again! The Greek Underworld is NOT Christianity's Hell!!!
