First of all, I would like to apologize for the fact that I didn’t posted on Tuesday. This week I was kind in a rush, so the posting was delayed for this weekend… This movie that I’m going to talk about was released a month ago, but still it is worth commenting.
Clash of the Titans is a remake from an old 1981 film, called also the Clash of the Titans. Likewise the 1981 version, the movie is loosely based on the Greek myth of Perseus (son of Zeus with the daughter from the King Cepheus of Argos
The basic story from the version of 1981, would be the challenges which Perseus had to conquer to win the possibility to marry Andromeda, a princess which was cursed by Tetis (goddess from the sea). In this travel, Perseus is helped by many gods with weapons that would allow him to win the battles.
But in the 2010 version, Perseus is trying to save his family from Hades (the god from the Underworld and brother from Zeus). Leading a group of soldiers, this hero will have to go on a journey through the Hades’ own Underworld to stop him before he steals the power from his brother and make the entire earth one hell. But on his way, there will be lots of creatures and monsters that he will just defeat once he proves to be worthy from the power given by his father and to create his own fate.
The film is directed by Louis Leterrier, written by Lawrence Kasdan, Travis Beacham, Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi. In the cast are Sam Worthington as Perseus (son of Zeus, the main protagonist), Ralph Fiennes as Hades (god of the Underworld, the primary villain), and Liam Neeson as Zeus (the leader of the gods of Mount Olympus). The film has around 118 minutes of running time and a budget getting on the US$ 125 million.
In my personal opinion, I think that watching this picture must be a must amusement experience, as for it is about an ancient Greek myth, as the high technology used on the movie, such the 3-D. However, we must watch first to see if we really like it.
