I just finished watching this at home (BlueRay, Surround, 55" TV) and came to the IMDb to read some reviews. I have to admit. Reading some of the critical reviews here made me laugh out loud. One guy actually complained about the movie's logic as it related to what the Gods/Titans could do and not do and what they should have known and not known. Another complained that the main character's motivation of vengeance failed in comparison to the one in the original movie, which was love. Are these people serious? They act as if they know Greek mythology. Alas, dear Yurik, they don't. They're all bent out of shape because a Hollywood movie didn't take Greek myth seriously. Pleeeaaaaase....

First of all, in truth, Perseus seeks Medusa's head because he's embarrassed for not bringing a present to a wedding. The cheap bastard is basically shamed into doing something brave. Yeah, great stuff for a big CGI movie.

Secondly, who the hell cares that there's no Kraken in the ancient myth? There are all kinds of other mythological creatures. And this is a great Kraken. Beats the hell out of Godzilla.

I'm sorry, if you want to learn about Ancient mythology, go back to school. Don't try and learn stuff from a Hollywood movie, and don't think you're getting much wisdom by reading reviews from a bunch of whiny IMDb know-it-alls who wouldn't know a Harpy from a Sharpie.

If you want have some fun on a Friday night, and you liked the original, and you don't want to waste time searching for deep and meaningful cinematic allegory, Clash of the Titans might fit the bill. Grab some popcorn and a soda (or a beer), sit back and relax. It won't hurt a bit.

I'm shocked there are people who actually found value in this trite, stupid movie. It's 2-hours of moronic action that seems to have been made for dopers, written by drug dealers and financed by a Mexican cartel. And to think they actually made a sequel.

If you like taking drugs and playing Grand Theft Auto then you'll probably like this. I found it baseless and offensive in the extreme. Too bad, I used to be (and sort of still am) a great fan of Jason Stratham, but he seems to be making the worst choices for movies of late.

Honestly, if I was on the street and saw this guy doing the things he does in the film, I'd probably shoot him on the spot or run him over in my car. I'd probably get the Presidential Medal of Freedom for it.

Any comparisons between this movie and real actioners like Die Hard or Lethal Weapon are somebody's idea of a joke. This movie should have been titled, Baseless, Stupid Crap.

You want a great tongue-in-cheek, wink-at-the-genre actioner with a decent story and a great action star, rent Shot 'em Up with Clive Owen.
