Clash of the Titans

In the category of β€œpractical effect skeleton people”, Charon is up there in creepiness with Baron Munchausen’s Death. Much simpler effects, but the camerawork and the creepy stillness of the score make up for it. #monsterdon

Ugh, no. This is not how Perseus steals the eye. The myth is way cooler & also is somewhat gross. He fits in arm between them during a pass and grabs it via trickery. And then (threatens to) squeeze it until the witches agree to tell him what he wants to know.

I should really just dip whenever anything threatens to deal with the classics, my years of latin education and somewhat competitive Certamen participation (for the first few years anyway) just can't stand this.

"A titan against a titan"

Medusa isn't a Titan, though? 🀨

Or perhaps she is in this film. We already have a robo-owl.

Zeus shows up when Perseus straps on his shield. There's a little voice that pops up, mmmmm... hairy armpits... olives and leather... "What was that?" -- "Oh nothing, happy swashbuckling! Dooo dee dooo….”

Terencio

Unfortunately, BooBoo had a remotely exploitable vulnerability...

Kinda odd I guess that Athena's owl, Bubo, is a barn owl? Wouldn't Athena have had like a great horned owl, or a snowy owl? Nothing against barn owls, of course...

One hour review: I like the practical effects, I like Burgess Meredith (always a solid actor) and I suspect I'd like the actors playing the gods more if they got more screen time.

I can do without the Western-translated-to-Greek-myth scenery.

I was meaning to be playing a game right now. Fighting zombies, building bases. Etc.

Darn, this movie still pulled me out, lol. Like it's just dumb enough despite being well done.
