I like the energy, the imagination, the silliness. I don't say it's good acting, when the men have so much facial hair they all look like Liam Neeson. I don't say it's good cinema, although I recognize the craftsmanship that went into it. The townspeople clamor for her death, but lose their enthusiasm after the Kraken rears up from the sea. Meanwhile, Perseus flies to the rescue on the wings of the great flying horse Pegasus. The climax is classic, with the fair Andromeda hung by her wrists and suspended in a clinging white gown over a flaming pit at the edge of the sea.
Is that a spoiler? The story has been out since 490 B.C. She must be beheaded, which Perseus does, thoughtfully keeping the head, which he carries around like the head of Alfredo Garcia. The struggles with Medusa take place on ledges over a flaming lake of lava far below. Look at her, and you'll turn to stone! Maybe this explains the high quality of Greek sculpture. Perseus and his comrades must invade the lair of Medusa, one of the three Gorgon girls, whose hair is a writhing mass of snakes and body is a long, lethal snake's tail. What, did they forget they were the blood of Calibos? Later in the film, inexplicably, these lobsters appear to be tame, and walk obediently across the desert, bearing little houses on their backs for the mortals. Later, his blood drops start growing, creating a crowd of huge lobster monsters that come crawling over rocks and snapping at everyone. After Calibos has a hand chopped off, his fingers grow into claws.
Most of the film involves terrifying battles between mortals and special effects. But the sacrifice of his own daughter - now you're talkin' real death. The king is philosophical: They were patriots. Earlier in the film, the entire fleet of Argos is lost at sea, with the exception of the vessel holding Perseus. It's strange how the sacrifice of one person makes us uneasy. There's no particular dramatic conflict in the movie Perseus has to wrestle with his demi-god ambiguity Hades ( Ralph Fiennes) nurses a resentment against Zeus he demands the sacrifice of King Acrisius' daughter Andromeda ( Alexa Davalos) to spare the city, and the citizens seem prepared to get along very nicely without her. I enjoyed myself, particularly after they released the Kraken. For its intended audience, I suspect this will play as a great entertainment. The outcome is told in "Clash of the Titans" with impressive technical mastery and somewhat lesser dramatic command. Perseus so loved his mother and adoptive father that he will never forgive Poseidon for drowning them and wants nothing to do with gods. Zeus, it should be explained, disguised himself as the husband of Perseus' mother and stole into her bedchamber to father the boy. He didn't ask to be a savior but would be happier as a simple fisherman.
This is Perseus ( Sam Worthington), son of Zeus ( Liam Neeson) and a human mother. King Acrisius of Argos declares war, and enlists the aid of a demi-god who has been found at sea. It would be one thing if they stayed on Olympus and killed time leaning on pillars and addressing one another in thundering ultimatums. The mortals are fed up with the whims of the gods.
