Clash of the Titans is a movie about the Greek mythological story of Perseus. Hades kills his family and Perseus seeks revenge. His family is killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, as the soldiers of Argos declare war on the gods by desecrating the temples of the gods and destroying their statues.
I gotta say, I expected utter lameness. This movie had great potential for cheesy-ness. Apparently the 3-D was awful but I saw it in 2-D. Acting was good. Screen writing was pretty good. CGI and action was great.
Perseus was the son of Zeus, and mad about it. The movie portrayed him as wanting to prove himself a good man, not just a demigod. He was proud of his adopted family. His father taught him "someone will have to say enough." Isn't that part of every great story? Gladiator: Maximus has enough of Commodus' evil. Star Wars: the rebels have enough. In this case, they have enough of the gods' tyranny. The gods were cruel, petty, and evil. They were so obsessed with their own...vanity... that they cruelly treated and/or ignored the people, and expected love in return.
Its quite the opposite of the real God, but that's for another blog. Point here is that Clash of the Titans is well worth seeing.
