CLASH OF THE TITANS

SAM WORTHINGTON has made a massive impact on hollywood in 2009/2010, with three big blockbusters all in a row! terminator salvation acting alongside of christian bale (batman). Avatar as the lead role of jake sully (a movie that has broken all box office records thanks to visionary and genius james cameron). Clash of the Titans, a remake of the 1981's version. Directed by louis leterrier (unleashed/ danny the dog, transporter 2, the incredible hulk).

The movie follows the trials and tribulations of demi God called perseus (sam worthington), who is the son of the almighty God Zeus(liam neeson), father of all humans on earth. Hades, god of the underwold has a plan to overthrow his brother Zeus and take the seat of power in the heavens, he does this by unleashing the kracken! a monster so evil and powerful it defeated the TITANS, the fathers of Zeus, Hades and Poisedon. Hades creation is released upon a city of humans that have cursed the gods, a series of events and fate draw perseus with a few warriors where their quest takes them across dangerous paths and into the pits of medusa's lare!

The movie has lots of action and the only place it lets the audience down is th graphics, although they are top notch the massive scale of the movie perhaps used too much graphics. Everything else was pretty good though. Superb visualisation and scenery of an early earth where it was Man vs. Gods!

Clash of the Titans rated: 3/5
