"definitely clashed with the Titans" - summit10
The film started with an opening on how the gods were able to overthrow their creators, the Titans.
The film first suggested fast paced story telling for the audience to understand what has come about the myth of Perseus, how he came to be and what was his destiny. A good start but had fallen short of its intention to meld and capture the story, bring it into life through the power of CGI.
The cast was good it even had Ralph and Liam in it to bring more star power, Sam and Gemma is starting to rise as one of today's promising stars. But the delivery and presence of their characters are really mediocre. There were scenes that Gemma started to look like a stalker for Sam, in the forest, the thrown room of Argos, the prison cell. Also, I really didnt get the flirting, short training scene they have under the boat going to Medusa's lair. Sam was just seen going down the boat then suddenly Gemma is attacking him, ending in holding his chest and saying to "calm your storm" emphasizing on what, his heart beating faster when a storm is brewing or is it his feelings for her?

Liam's and Ralph's performance as gods was really under the sink, with Ralph's voice like a constipated man or even the arch backed, dragging of his feet movement, come on he is a god you could have at least made him vicous, sinister looking! For a god of the underworld he looks like a god who is sick or having an ailment. Liam had statutory power, confidence and yet his character delivery was stale and boring.
What I do like was the family of Sam when he was a fisherman. I also liked the CGI of the winged demons (which was also Hades), Pegasus and the Kraken. The giant scorpions was alright except for the part the soldiers were going down from them and have their claws really look like props. Another thing was the ferry boat of the underworld was like a pile of wood extracted from the Trojan horse, the creature who ferries the boat was really a "dead give away", how can that be so animatronic and robot looking?
I really love films like this and I still hand it to Louis, the cast and the production team but really was expecting the acting can keep up and marry both its great story of the myth and the techonology that was available today.
