Is Clash of the Titans that film where they kill Medusa and fight all these skeletons towards the end?

[Shaun]

Yeah I think so...I've only seen a few bits of the 1981 version.

This looks like a turkey to me, with the director having made appalling, brainless popcorn flicks like The Transporter and The Incredible Hulk prior to this effort. I like my epic sword and sorcery films to be just that: epic, not another mindless 300 clone tailor made to suit the ADHD generation. Not holding out much hope for this one although I'd be delighted if my first impressions were wrong.

[Enid]

Ooooh I may have to go see this new one then. I bet they'll sexualise Medusa though. Hate when they do that in films.

It looks like it'll be a fun film.

Medusa was in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, she was played by Uma Thurman.

It'll be a fun but brainless adventure film like the original at best. It's not gonna win an oscar but I can see it being entertaining.

Medusa used to scare me so much in the original Clash of the Titans.

[GypsyGoth]

I think I might d/l the original, she does look scary.

It will be if you take it seriously, some films you just gotta enjoy them for what they are.

The original is far from brainless and I grew up with it so I have great affection for it's craftmanship, old school pacing and great cameos from some classic actors. This one just looks like mindless rubbish. Hope I'm wrong though. The only thing going for this new one is the face that they have a decent actor as Perseus.

I found that odd too.

[IheartBB]

Were it not in 3D, I'd say this film would be a total flop.

[Smithy]

This looks so much better than the original version, we had to watch it in latin, it was awful

It's a good film but it is a brainless adventure film, just a well made one. Brainless doesn't mean bad, sometimes I want a challenging and more intellectual film sometimes I just want something a bit fun. neither are bad just good in different ways.

[Enid]

I watched 300 the other night. Now THAT was brainless gorey fun.

There's a difference between fun and outright dross though. Actually a huge difference and this looks like the latter to me... another Tranformers 2, awash with fast cuts, big monsters and zero personality. The original had personality.
