Movie Review: "Clash of the Titans"

Seen on: March 30, 2010

The players: Director: Louis Leterrier, Writers: Travis Beacham, Phil Hay, Matt Manfredi, Cast: Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Raplh Fiennes, Gemma Arterton, Mads Mikkelsen

Facts of interest: Leterrier also helmed "The Incredible Hulk."

The plot: As the gods ruling the world are acting like rebellious teenagers, Perseus is the only one who can battle the bad guys and prevent an ugly war.

Our thoughts: Louis Leterrier’s “Clash of the Titans” is one big, noisy mess of a movie I believe doesn’t deserve to exist. The film somehow managed to score a bunch of positive reviews from the nation’s top critics, and I’m still trying to figure out why. In my book, this is a lame adventure cursed with terrible dialogue, dragging pace and mediocre performances.

New 'Clash of the Titans' featurette has arrived

What I've seen of "Clash of the Titans" so far has really impressed me, and to tell you the truth, I am quite excited about the film's 3D release April 2, 2010. A new featurette is now online, so watch it below.

"Clash" is a sort of "Percy Jackson" for adults, and the film follows Perseus (Sam Worthington) who is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), the vengeful god of the underworld.

With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to rescue a charming princess and defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash all hell on earth.

Mads Mikkelsen, Alexa Davalos, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston co-star in the flick directed by Louis Leterrier ("The Incredible Hulk"). In this clip, the cast briefly chats about the film's central characters.

'Clash of the Titans' reshoots and going 3D?

Sam Worthington's next film is an adventure epic titled "Clash of the Titans." It is directed by Louis Leterrier and will open March 26, 2010. It will also do more shooting, and it may end up being shown in 3D.

The Los Angeles Times recently spoke with Worthington, and the actor said Warner Bros. increased the budget for the flick, enabling the filmmakers to go back out and shoot more footage.

"We're going to be going back and shooting more scenes for it, they cut loose with some money so we can add to it," Worthington said. "We're going to be shooting more scenes in January..."

This is not the only news he spilled. He said, "The studio is also letting us add some gods and scenes. And they're talking about making the movie a 3D film." Sounds nice, considering the trailer looks awesome.

Louis Leterrier would do 'Hulk 2' while Matthew Vaughn would love to direct 'Avengers'

While I did not entirely enjoy Ang Lee's "Hulk" from a few years ago, I admit I had quite a blast watching "The Incredible Hulk" from director Louis Leterrier, whose credits also include the so-so "Danny the Dog" and okay "Transporter 2."

Well, according to Moviehole, Leterrier wouldn't mind stepping behind the camera for a "Hulk" sequel. "Sure. I'd return to it. I have some ideas. So many ideas for so many things," Leterrier told the Web site.
