In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus is helpless to save his family from Hades, vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds.

Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny. Reimagined with state-of-the-art visual effects and cutting edge technology, Clash of the Titans is a timeless and awe-inspiring adventure set against the turbulent backdrop of Ancient Greece.

Read review below.. You should have watched Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) before this then you will get a connected stories with the Zeus

With blockbuster season now bearing down upon us, a $70million remake of the campy fantasy romp is first out of the traps.

Boasting lashings of special effects, plenty of sword-and-sandals skirmishing plus the star of Avatar, if there’s a formula for box-office success, Clash Of The Titans could have been created in a laboratory.

After a brief celestial intro in which we learn how the gods Zeus, Poseidon and Hades now rule the heavens, the seas and the underworld, we meet fisherman Spyros (Pete Postlethwaite) rescuing the infant Perseus from the oceans.

It turns out the child is not just the illegitimate son of Zeus but a demi-god prophesised to save the world.

Fast forward 12 years and the citizens of Argos are in the process of rebelling against the gods, tossing their statues into the sea and proclaiming their independence.

As their king declares, “A new era has begun. The era of man!”

Not surprisingly, Zeus (Liam Neeson) is none too pleased and strikes a deal with Hades (Ralph Fiennes) to terrorise them into accepting their rule once again and, for good measure, sacrificing their princess.

With just 10 days before Hades is to unleash the hideous Kraken sea monster on to the city, Perseus heads out into the countryside to stop the god of the underworld in his tracks.

There to help him is a band of soldiers, an ethereal spirit guide called Io (Gemma Arterton) plus Pegasus, a winged horse.

What director Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, Transporter 2) serves up is a simple quest movie enlivened by some respectable if rarely spectacular special effects.

Here is a land of crumbling ruins roamed by giant scorpions and pock-marked by bubbling lava pits in which Perseus and his band are hunted by the deformed Acrisius (Jason Flemyng).

Aside from the Kraken rising from the depths, the most memorable moment comes when Perseus and his battle-hardened crew face Medusa, the half-woman, half-snake who can turn people to stone with a mere glance.

Less impressive are the scenes in which Zeus and Hades scheme to wreak vengeance on mankind from their celestial throneroom.

The former wears a shiny metal jacket that might have come from Michael Jackson’s wardrobe while the latter, with stringy hair and red, starring eyes, looks like someone you’d see drinking Tenent’s Super on a park bench.

There’s a touch of the Pythons about both of them. As for Poseidon, unless I missed something, he doesn’t appear at all.

Still Arterton is, as always, easy on the eye and Australia’s Worthington (Avatar) is reliable if a touch forgettable aside from an accent that’s one part Argos, three parts Adelaide.

Hoping to cash in on the box-office bonanza created by Avatar, the film is also being released in 3D and i really don’t mind to watch it second time in 3D.

As a pre-summer blockbuster, Titans ticks most of the right boxes, offering a reasonably enjoyable ride.

Whether it’s good enough to kick start the trilogy Leterrier is said to be planning, that remains in the hands of the gods.
