    Clash of the Titans - Oh dear!

    AICN hates it, mainly for its terrible post production 3D:-

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Hmm seems like they raped the already sexed up story!! I love the original cos it scared me shitless when I was young...the scene with medusa is simply astounding.

    I won't see this rehash...they have obviously messed with it too much and even the eye-candy element to it seems pointless. I'll wait for the 2D version.

    Also this review doesn't bode well for the 3D Dawn of the Dead that may come out eventually!!!!
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    It's been predicted from the start of Titan's 3D process that it was going to be bad. A rushed job just to try and capitalize off of Avatar's (REAL) 3D success. Just like Alice in Wonderland, it's crappy layered and blurry "3D". Not the real deal.

    Titans is still available in regular 2D - I suggest you see it there.

    No it doesn't, but it does sound like they rushed it... So maybe with more time and effort it can give a better result?

    I mean even Cameron is going down this route with Titanic, so it can't be a total loss!?

    The music in the trailer I saw was the farthest thing from thrash, metal or even "buttrock". It was shitty mainstream "heavy" music.

    I read somewhere(looking for link) that they started the 3d process on Titans only 2-3 months ago. That says alot, right there. Rushed job just for the extra moola.

    With Dawn they've been spending a long time, so I think the end result will be much better.

    As for Titans in regular ol 2D - I'm still looking forward to it for a good mindless time.

    I personally think that "retroactive 3D" is a total crash and burn.

    They're just going to have to bite the bullet and do it right from the beginning. They're probably hoping the sheeple won't notice orc care.

    This film sounds really bad.

    Can't they remake something and actually ENRICH it rather than being woefully embarassed at how good the original was?

    That's the real problem. Taking successful and well known flicks with brands that are easy to market and making something worse, when they should actually be taking shit movies (like, as I always use in this line of discussion, Drive-In Massacre) and making something better out of them.

    The first time I saw the trailer for Clash 2010 with that silly rock music over the top I thought "oh dear", and having seen the trailer a billion times in the cinema when waiting for the fucking movie I'm there to see actually start, I just want to see it less and less and less.

    The rush-job on the 3D also doesn't leave a good impression. Money-grubbing, alright.

    Well I'm still looking forward to it...big budget sword and sandals type of gig, I'm a sucker for that sort of stuff.

    Edit: Don't give a toss about gimmicky 3D, that can smoke my pole, but I will grab this on "normal" BD when it comes out.

    Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein - I think we will be gone soon

    Which one of these categories would you put Titan into? I may be in the minority here, but I think Titans is one of the latter. It needed a remake.



    Besides.....Liam Neeson, bitches.

    the original had flaws but over its 29 years of life we've come to love them through childhood memories and whatnot...they just can't touch that with a remake - so their duty is to improve it, flesh it out, highlight the areas for improvement and progress it...

    not turn it into a bunch of emo kids screaming about how they hate their dad!
