Clash of the Titans (Movie Review)

One of the most anticipated movies(at least, for me) arrived in theaters Friday: Clash of the Titans.  Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, etc.  Pretty impressive cast.  If you were like me, the presence of Neeson and Fiennes was enough to get you excited for the movie.  Worthington is cool, but I still haven’t forgiven him for starring in silverscreen crap like Avatar and Terminator last year. 

Anyway, Clash of the Titans was a good movie.  Not impressive, not awesome, not really good, just plain good.  It didn’t suck, but it wasn’t as epic and as awesome as I thought it would be.  Just good.  Worthington played Perseus as best as he could, but sometimes, I found his acting a little bit ridiculous.  Overdramatic at moments when shouldn’t have been and not dramatic enough when he should have been.  It was just all over the place.  As for Neeson and Fiennes, there performances were spot-on, especially Fiennes.  The man plays the perfect, evil, demented Hades.  Neeson commands the screen as Zeus everytime the camera is on him.  Perfect.

Overall, like I said, the movie was good.  Should you buy a ticket to the movie? Yeah, sure.  If you’re a fan of Greek mythology and action, you’d probably like COTT.  If not, turn your head towards another movie.
