My Take Radio

Clash of the Titans was an enjoy­able remake of an awe­some clas­sic. It looks like the game bor­rows some game play ideas from God Of War. Not nec­es­sar­ily a bad thing.

Ever since I was a kid I was always a fan of greek mythol­ogy and I watched most of the movies based on those sto­ries grow­ing up.One of the movies I remem­ber the most was the 1981 clas­sic Clash Of The Titans which at the time had some of the great­est spe­cial effects i’d ever seen.Not only did I become a huge fan of this movie,but I also was intro­duced to the work of Ray Har­ry­hausen who did mem­o­rable spe­cial effects for other movies I enjoyed. When I first heard they doing a remake of this clas­sic film like always I cringed at the thought of another child­hood favorite  being ruined. My only com­fort was that the modern-day spe­cial effects would make a great story better.

After learn­ing about the cast which includes

• Sam Wor­thing­ton as Perseus
• Liam Nee­son as Zeus
• Ralph Fiennes as Hades
• Gemma Arter­ton as Io

With a solid cast I fig­ured it was going to be good. After see­ing the trailer I see this movie doing the orig­i­nal jus­tice. While they may go crazy with effects if the over­all story stays true to the orig­i­nal I think it’ll make money.It’s nice to see the new gen­er­a­tion get intro­duced to an old favorite.

Check out both the trailer for the 81 clas­sic as well as the nice and new 2010 version.Enjoy!
