"Trust your senses, and don't look this bitch in the eye!"The main reaction to this re-make of Clash Of the Titans has been about the 3D conversion, which spread across the internet like wildfire after the first screenings, and yes, the 3D effect is glaringly inconsistent (sometimes great, sometimes awful or non-existent) and 2D faces on the re-rendered actors are peculiar and distracting. What is clear is that this is a solid action-adventure, with very effective set pieces and some stunningly-created visuals, which would probably have worked just as well if it had left as a standard movie. Sam Worthington is well-cast as reluctant hero Perseus in a dementedly eclectic cast (Pete Postlethwaite! Tony and Effy from Skins!) which is serviceable throughout. The movie takes its 'epic' cues from The Lord Of the Rings films to generally good effect. It is a shame that the makers felt the need to shoehorn in a reference to the 1981 version's hopeless robotic owl, which makes no sense and takes the viewer momentarily out this otherwise sturdy and grittier re-reading.

Ok i agree with the good casting, Sam worthington did do a very impressive job and really played the role believably. Mads Mikkelsen was also a very good match to act alongside Sam. The battle scenes again, very impressive and extremely well structured which for me, made the film because i must say, i was greatly dissapointed witht the so called "3D" "Conversion"
A lot of the times it actually felt like i was just watching the film in 2D and others the 3D was so poor it just looked like the screen was curved around to try and make things appear closer. The smaller details in insert shots such as hair and skin tone were more ofen than not blurry and unclear. Again, this could be due to the 3D or just some bad cinematography.
All in all i think i would give it a generous 7 out of 10.
Do you agree Mr P?
6 at best! The sequel is being shot in 'proper' 3D, and Sam Worthington is apparently insisting on it being a bit more fun...thankfully!
