Did It Suck? Aficionados of the original 1981 movie shouldn’t be too disappointed by this update. The plot is very close to the original, with a few changes, but overall if you know the first movie you’ll be able to follow this one and know what is coming next. I did find the hops between the different segments of the quest to be quite abrupt in that you’d have a ‘big’ scene, then a short bit of travelling, then the next ‘big’ scene. This made the movie not quite as fluid as I would have liked.
The fight sequences were good, but way too short, and there were not enough of them. The movie would definitely have been better if they had drawn it out longer or had paced it out so you got more story from it. The effects were OK, but nothing special for this day and age; however, I like to think that Ray would have approved. I quite liked the acting by the major players as they seemed to have more feeling for their characters than is evident in other movies recently viewed by Did It Suck. Overall this was an enjoyable movie, but not spectacular and not as good as I hoped from the hype.
Final thoughts: I saw it in 3D but this added nothing at all and I would strongly suggest saving the extra few dollars and sticking to 2D. This movie is Mostly Worth a Ticket for the fantasy enthusiasts. But still not worth the 3D price.

This was the worst remake of any movie I have ever seen
It just sucked on so many levels
I enjoyed the movie and story it’s self but i too was not all that blown away by the 3D. Personally I think that the 3D craze is like all other 3D crazes in the past all the way to the 1950′s. Flash in the pan stuff.
As for Clash of the Titans, the story held pretty true to Greek Mythology and was entertaining.
We saw the first “Clash” and loved it. I expect to love this one too! But, frankly, I would not pay for a 3D price for anything!! I think the price of movies is over inflated these days. Since they are back to cheap Tuesdays, it makes me happy.
