Remakes are the current trend, which makes it no surprise that “Clash of the Titans” follows suit. With advancements in computer graphics, this should have bested the original by a mile but sadly, doesn’t gain much momentum. When the title character barely has dialogue in the beginning of the film, you know the story’s already in trouble. Consequently, this should signal some epic battle scenes, but even then is it only mediocre. The story moves so quickly that no details are spared and scenes are lazily mashed together. The special effects are no better, with Medusa looking faker than, well, the Kraken. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, as Zeus and Hades respectively, add no star power other than wearing glittery outfits and running through their lines. Much has changed from the original so don't expect a true remake. It's a film on its own but hardly a good one at that. 

Rating: 2 stars
