Clash of the Titans
Apr. 15th, 2010 07:27 pmIt's school holiday time!!! I usually try to arrange at least a week of my holidays per every school holiday break so that my daughter and I can spend some time together. I am still a bit out of sorts, though. I am a lot better and shingles seem to have cleared quite quickly, but I feel unusually tired. Hee! I suppose it didn't help that my daughter had a sleepover thing on Tuesday (with big shopping trip and all such things).
Today we went to see "Clash of the Titans" with my daughter and her friend. I don't know what to say without being unkind. I haven't seen the original film so I took the new film on it's own merits. Obviously, much time and money were invested into all the fabulous special effects and gorgeous decorations and The Kraken was glorious. Also, the choice of actors was quite impressive, apart of Sam Worthington who continued to be his most boring and charisma deficient self. But the end result was the film that consisted solely of pointless fight scenes, without any attempt made to develop any of the characters.
Of course, things weren't TOO bad. The girls loved the film, so may be it was meant for 11-year olds, which is fine with me. I also found over the years that in any, even bad movie, you can always find something that will make it bearable. In the case of "Clash of the Titans" this something was Mads Mikkelsen in his role of old Greek soldier Draco .
