For the
sake of not having to write the same intro a million
different ways throughout the rest of time, just know that
this column avoids the overly long and sometimes dull
process of full film reviews and instead opts to break
things down based on what I thought going in, what happened
while I was there and what I learned at the end of it all.
Hope that's OK.
Read on!
The Breakdown -
Clash Of The Titans
The Impression:
Sam Worthington leads the way in an updated, 3D-ized take on
Clash Of The Titans. This was meant to be.
The Reality:
Ouch. I don't know what happened, but somewhere along
the way this went from being a reasonable choice for a
remake to precisely why Hollywood may need to go back to the
drawing board. This movie is nothing but poorly
crafted CG that's lazily slung at you in 3D ... probably
with the hope that you might be distracted enough to not
notice how Zeus-awful the dialogue ("Ease your storm" will
become a pop culture staple), story (muddled would be an
understatement) and acting (Sam Worthington couldn't
possibly be worse) is. It won't work though.
You'll catch on before you get a smidgen into the painfully
long hour and a half runtime. Avoid at all costs!
The Lesson:
Some things aren't meant to be. Like Sam Worthington
leading the way in an updated, 3D-ized take on Clash Of
The Titans.
