ANCIENT PERIOD MOVIE REVIEWS

[Medicus matt]

Saw the new Clash of the Titans. I didn't have any expectations after the bad reviews etc., but I was still underwhelmed. Main character is miscast, IMO. Weird choices (the "djinns" or whatever they were supposed to be???). Some nice interior sets, but that's pretty much it.

I think it's worse than the original Harryhausen..That was pretty dire but at least it made sense and had internal consistancy, which is more than can be said for the new one. I'm still not sure why Perseus even bothered to rescue Andromeda. He'd only met her the once and was more interested in the other one...the dead one.

And why did those two chaps (the ones who in a better edited film would probably have turned into the comedy duo/light relief) suddently appear in the middle of the city on the back of a giant scorpion (which nobody seemed to notice) and why....etc

It was bobbins, it really was.
