Remakes stink. I have said that, it is out there. Remakes stink. They are almost always terrible. There are only a few exceptions that I know of. These are the 2010 version of True Grit, the 2005 version of King Kong, Rise of the Planet of the Apes (which I count as a remake/reboot), and The Ring. There are a few others out there, but there really aren’t that many. There are just a lot of bad ones. And the 2010 version of Clash of the Titans doesn’t count as one of the good ones. A remake of the 1981 film of the same name, Clash of the Titans tells the age-old Greek myth of Perseus, the demigod son of Zeus, who fought against the gods as they attempted to wipe out humanity by releasing the Kraken on the human population. This was caused by Cassiopeia saying that her daughter, Andromeda, was more beautiful than Aphrodite, the goddess of love. So-long story short, Andromeda has to die in order for the Kraken to not kill all of humanity. But Perseus isn’t gonna let that happen, and then there is action and violence. I’m sorry people. I know that this review is kind of short, hazy, and uninformative. I saw this like two weeks ago, and I never got around to writing this review until now. There just seemed like more important movies to review. Like Mars Needs Moms. But the movie is actually similar to Mars Needs Moms. You see the potential there. You can see the talent. But here, we just have trash. Trash that looks pretty. And that’s all this is. To quote Grace Randolph (she was talking about James Cameron, but it applies here too) from Beyond the Trailer-“He is King Midus, anything he touches turns to gold. But a golden turd is still a turd.”
