They didnt release a kraken, but me.

The Harryhausen was instant classic, thank to he's art of stop motion. From how a Pegasus fly, to the way a Medusa move, to the kraken ride from the water. Now a remake is made, that really is nothing new to the story, same old Greek story.

But how much did they change and is it worth for 3d?

So here's the story Perseus( Sam Worthington) wasn't some payback from hades(Ralph Fiennes) From killing he's family. Knowing that humanity is rebelling agaisnt the gods, Zeus(Liam Neeson) is putting the smack down. From destroying some city, by releasing the kraken. Now is up to Perseus(knowing he's half god) to travel to the furthers of the world, and find a way to defeat it. With a band of warrior, they must face from giant scorpion, to facing a Medusa, that will stone them. Is the finest hour, and knowing this our hero must face.

OK there really no act on this film, cause all we heard is machismo and thensome. Sam really doesnt give nothing, i prefer him on the terminator, and avatar. But really he need more work for the action department. Liam and Fiennes as always well respect actors, they know their line. And playing as gods is something that this film have. So respect to that.

Now the original Perseus fall in love for Andromeda, for just answering the riddle she always give. On this one they head to a different direction that seem to me lost. I mean for a ageless women, that show him how to fight a Medusa, just wrong. And then there's the question on why hades have to be the main bad guy, on every modern Greek myth film. Really people there other, have anyone play the god of war trilogy. And they don give screen time to Pegasus. The film work out more like adventure story, but more of a short version.

The effect are quite good, especially when it came to the rise of the kraken, from he's tentacle destroying the city to when he scream, some impressive detail. The scorpion really when all NFL to our Heroes. That really gave that extra push of action of the film, gave the meaning on how to make a Greek myth film. Let not forget the Victoria model Medusa, that really pull it off on her slithering way of moving, put some tension to the film.

Now what did i thought about the tradition to 3d? They were eating some mushroom for making the dumb mes decision of all time. I felt from the beginning of the film it wasn't necessary, until the second and the third part. But really nothing come at you. Comparing this film with avatar, i say they really gave it that much thought. Look there some film that is gonna be made intentionally for 3d and other not, cause i dint jump of my seat(well except by going to the bathroom).

So keep the 3d for this one, and see it in 2d instead. And yes there till 3 to go for the big 100.
