Clash of the Titans (2010)

I don't know how this movie made it to the cinemas. It should have gone straight to the dvd rental store. I have nothing too much to say about this film because in summary, its exceptionally bad. Full stop. Rotten tomatoes critics rate it at 30%.

Visual effects: On the first sight of the Roman gods, I couldn't help but burst out laughing (perhaps this movie should be in the 'comedy' category). The visual effects were so...1980s. It looked like normal humans were filmed and subsequently, the movie makers put some sort of glowing ring around their bodies to give them this god-like effect. Hello, we are in the 21st century. I'm sure we can get better visual effects than that with our current technology!

Script: There was nothing clever about the script. Every single line was predictable and cliche that it was so cringe-worthy. Such as, "I've been watching over you...We belong together."

3-d: Why bother with the 3-d effects? There were hardly any scenes that required it. The use of the 3-d effects was not creative at all. There was nothing really popping up or etc that made you feel like you were part of the movie (that's the point of the 3d effect right, to make you feel that props in the movies are floating out of the screen and into the seat you are sitting in). Instead, we have to endure murky visuals wearing 3-d glasses that gave me a headache. This movie will work perfectly the same way 2-d. I read somewhere that the 3-d effects were incorporated at the very last minute. It definitely looked like a very rushed job.

And I expected many more battle scenes. The Kraken who is suppose to be this deadly formidable creature didn't even have a battle scene at all. All the Kraken did was flip around in the ocean like a giant squid, made a few roars and then was immediately killed by Perseus (demi-god protoganist).

When they were making this expensive film, didn't anyone tell the director, Louis Leterrier what was wrong? It doesn't take a genius to see that this movie was badly made. I'm fine with badly made low-budget films but I always feel disappointed when I see a badly made big-budget movie that had so much potential to be developed into a great film.
