Clash of the Titans (2010) - 4 stars out of 10

Clash of the Titans (2010) - 4 stars out of 10

This movie is nothing more than a spectacle.  Despite bringing talented actors Neeson and Fiennes on board, the "plot" (or lack thereof) and characters are only there to facilitate an excuse for awesome creature special effects.  The scorpions were really amazing and the entire Medusa scene delivered intensity and a horrific creature, but I knew that the Kraken would make this film worthwhile (afterall, it was the focus of every trailer for Clash of the Titans).  After an hour and 1/2 of anticipation, the film reaches its climax as the Kraken begins its destruction for approximately... 2 minutes?  Major disappointment.  Clash of the Titans might be worth watching for the special effects, but you should consider fast-forwarding through anything that isn't CGI.
