Clash of The Titans

I have a soft spot for the original Clash of the Titans, with its Ray Harryhausen stop frame animation and hammy acting.
As Hollywood has run out of ideas and is now dredging through it's back catalogue or raiding your local comic book store for new stories.

Thanks to that we have a new big budget (though the FX don't represent this) version of Clash of the Titans from directorLouis Leterrier.
Leterrier is famous for the Transporter movies and the better of the two recent Incredible Hulk movies. So perfect for a movie that selo-tapes Greek mythology
together.
Man of the moment Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator: Salvation) is Perseus...all muscles and no brains and as wooden as the sets (if they where built and not generated).
This version has none of the charm of the original and the least said about Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes the better. This really is a turkey!

2/10
