Clash of the Titans - 2010 remake
I strike this one down with one of zeus lightning bolts! It wont' get anything more than a 2/10 from me.
I don't wish to spoil it for those who haven't seen it. But I will do more than not recommend it, I will plead that anyone who enjoyed the 1981 version, not spoil the taste of it with this fiasco. Star-studded with at least 4 or 5 big names and some very familiar faces, but totally turning the well-loved plot of Perseus, Andromeda, Pegasus, Callibos, Medussa and the gods of mount Olympus on its head.
Its as if the director wished to mix-mash the story... just to see what he'd get. Then there is the painfully weak dialogue further marred with those silly little jokes that some people feel all adventure movies of that period require, and 3D effects that are too obvious and ass thin as bread crust as though the entire movie was developed on one guys PC in 15minutes of fervor. Imagine the Scorpion King, then imagine special effects, score, dialogue and plot watered down to 1 part to 1000 - and you'd get what I mean
I regret such remakes exists, because then it means we cannot have another... Worst part was, it had one of my recent favorite actors in the lead role playing a card-board cutout, one-dimensional character with nothing but cliches and punchlines to his literary credit... :-(
