CLASH OF THE TITANS...LIKED BY ME BUT NOT MOST!!

IMDB REVIEW LINK 5.9 ONLY!

As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to see this movie.  Hey it's fantasy, imagine that.  I heard some bad news about clash, but what I heard wasn't nearly as bad as they made it out to be.  Just look at it this way,  it's one heck of an improvement over the one made in 1981, by about 10 times.  That's how I call it...that's fair.  I think what was bad was the make up, costumes and CGI effects.  It seemed to me that they ran out of money to polish it up and so, they rushed it out of the door.  Other than the shoddy finish, it could have been a pretty great movie, instead it was a disappointment to most.  Look, you can't do a bad job on special effects these days, we the viewers are too spoiled, we want the best production everytime.  Still, I enjoyed the movie, the characters and the only silly thing to me was the Scorpion rides.  It's still pretty cool, even though the Greek gods are not my bag.  I lean more towards the norse gods like Odin and Thor, and of course, Crom, The lord of the mound in Conan.   If you like fantasy and adventures you should check it out soon.
