So far the reviews have been surprisingly positive. I tend to trust Roger Ebert usually, and he admitted its mindless entertainment, but done well making it enjoyable enough.

I'm sorry, I think the movie majorly sucked balls. The storyline, the acting, the 3d all just major ass suckitude. There is a reason it's getting a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I am a huge fan of the original and was seriously looking forward to this movie, but damn I wish I had slept for 2 hours rather than go see this piece of crap.
And the worst part was the damn driftwood wookie

It wasn't too bad.

But it was obvious the 3d was added after. I'd suggest people see it in 2d instead.

The giant scorpions looked like they were kinda floating about, and you ever watch the new America's Funniest Home Videos where they put the host's head on the old clips? That's what the 3d overlay reminds me of. Like the characters had bobble heads that would move seperate from their body. The Medusa fight was one of the best scenes. It reminded me of the God of War games.

Hades is the bad guy? Why? I always thought he was one of the more benevolent Greek gods.

My GF and I saw it tonight. We enjoyed it, although my GF is a big Greek Mythology fan and said it didn't stick to the story very well. She had to turn her brain off to enjoy it.

In the original myths, Pegasus was tamed by Bellerophon, not Perseus.

Perseus created Pegasus by killing Medusa... the winged horse sprang out of Medusa's severed neck.

...and he didn't kill the Kraken, he killed the Cetus. The Kraken was a giant octopus or squid from Norse mythology.

Yeah, the original Clash of the Titans vaguely adhered to Greek mythology. This one vaguely adhered to Clash of the Titans.

The Kraken not only isn't a Titan, its not even a part of Greek mythology.

I was somewhat disappointed because I think I had my expectations set too high. It was just an ok movie.

Interesting article that might explain why the film wasn't as good as it could have been.

Holy crap. I knew they did some reshoots but I didn't realize they tampered with the movie as much as they did. The original story that was planned actually sounds like an awesome movie.

Chalk another ruined movie up to Hollywood execs.
