CLASH OF THE TITANS... Yesterday, I saw the movie as promised in my previous journal entry, but unlike what I said in that entry, the film wasn’t so bad. Just your usual CGI-ridden but entertaining action-adventure flick. I didn’t watch Clash of the Titans in 3-D, so I don’t know how badly done the gimmick was for this movie. What I will say is, I imagine this is how the film version of God of War will be like. The difference is— God of War will most likely be a lot more violent (if it wants to stay true to Kratos' badassery in the Playstation video games). I never saw the original 1981 version of Titans, FYI.
Sam Worthington’s performance as Perseus was comparable to his role as Jake Sully in Avatar; Liam Neeson was good as Zeus; Ralph Fiennes was a’ight as Hades and Gemma Arterton was sexy as Io (ditto with Alexa Davalos as Andromeda). Gemma Arterton also stars in the upcoming Disney flick Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (with Donnie Darko’s Jake Gyllenhaal). Hopefully, Ms. Arterton won't be getting typecast as the love interest to royal heirs-turned-heroes-with-mystical-weapons in these kinds of films. Come to think of it— She was in the last James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace...which was actually a disappointment. Oh well.
