in this movie Medusa's story is the saddest one. First she gets some "snuggle with a struggle" from Poseidon, then gets cursed by Athena when she "dared" to pray to her for help , and then she gets her head chopped off.
That is what I don't understand, why is it suddenly Medusa is the guilty one, when she was raped by Poseidon. Athena just curse an innocent victim to add more torture for her suffering. Poseidon didn't get any punishment whatsoever.
ONE thing that I did find kind'a cool is how the Stigians here were these reptilian monsters instead of the eyeless hags of the original. Not saying it was better or an improvement, just different and effective in its own way.
Medusa in this one went from freaking gorgeous to turn you to stone ugly… that’s epic. Best fight her and the Djinn… she gave him the look, and he didn’t turn… The look on her face was classic WTF… Great reactions par usual.👍 2nd fav was the no smile guy who’s smile is now etched in stone (sad you didn’t show it)
Lead actor Sam Worthington preceded this with Avatar and Terminator Salvation. Perseus' love interest is played by Gemma Arterton, who's also in Quantum of Solace and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Poseidon is portrayed by Danny Huston and Apollo is portrayed by Luke Evans
Skinhead Perseus and video game graphic Medusa? Real improvement! Also like how the giant scorpions in this one are domesticatable animals that people can just saddle up and ride, instead of monstrous cold-blooded deadly insects like in the original, .. . clever decision there (LMAO!)
lol I watched Rome because of this movie. I noticed the queen had certain ... assets which warranted a google search. Lo and behold I was greeted with an amazing view in the first episode of Rome. Good times.
Wrath is pretty damn good too. They up the scale if you can believe it. Honestly i think its better than Clash, though i enjoyed both. For me personally these movies scratch the itch that Transformers and superhero movies do for others.
The thing I disliked about Wrath was it felt liked I missed some parts, why is your dead and how I thought she could hold her own, why is Olympus in such bad shape, and why do I feel like God of War did a better job than this film.
The first one will always hold a special place in my heart because I was just the right age when it came out, and culturally significant because *everybody* had seen it multiple times over. It was also a key movie of the early VCR age. The green screen is bad, even by the standards of the time, but Ray Harryhausen is rightly a legend and this was a fitting movie for him to sign off on. The old joke is that there was an entire generation who learned everything they know about Greek mythology from the movie. So it's the first one for me, and that's that.
Not only that but the first film much like Jason and the Argonauts seemed like it wanted to turn a Greek Myth into a feature film, this film just wanted to put Greek Mythological characters in a modern story and while it looks cool even I had to go a few times and say 🤨 who the crap is that and those wizard guys made me say to my family 🙁 don't ask the fan of Greek Mytha because I have no clue what the heck that thing is.
I liked the first one also. The virgin princess was gorgeous, the actors were all great and a few were knighted by the Queen. It was an "Impossible Mission" type movie. But what's a VCR?
A story I heard was that Sam Worthington pulled a diva and not only refused to work with Bubo for more than that once scene, he threatened to drop him.
Sam Worthington is an example of Hollywood trying to force certain people on the public. Obviously with Avatar James Cameron likes him and for a while they were really trying to get us to ignore that he's as charismatic as a block of wood. Like in Mean Girls when they said "Stop trying to make fetch happen" it was "Stop trying to make Sam Worthington happen". For a second there he was all over the place til enough people eventually said No Thanks.
@@wiseguy100 I don't know much about him but saw him say he wouldn't do a Marvel movie. Say what you will about them but don't act like a mostly unknown actor is somehow "above" them. Like, you're way too low tier to be smug about acting work.
@@realisticthought1781he was just okay in Hacksaw. Not exactly an improvement worthy enough of giving him larger, more layered roles. He hasn't done much since then.
In the myth, Andromeda is the correct female lead, such as one is. Io is from completely different story: she was loved by Zeus, who, in an effort to disguise her when Hera came close, turned Io into a heifer. Hera, who in some versions, had been informed about what Zeus was doing, demanded the heifer and kept her chained to a tree, guarded by the hundred-eyed Argus. Zeus called on the resourceful Hermes to free Io. Hermes, disguised as a simple shepherd, joined the very bored Argus and either played music to put Argus to sleep, or told a long story which lulled Argus into sleep. Hermes then killed him and freed Io. A furious Hera transferred the hundred eyes of her faithful servant to the tail of her peacock, and sent a gadfly to torment the wandering Io, who was still in heifer form. Eventually, Io reached Egypt where Zeus was able to transform her to human form. She had children by Zeus, and was, reputedly, an ancestress of Herakles/Hercules. So the screenwriters essentially created a brand new character and gave her the name of Io. Incidentally, Hermes was brought to trial for murder by Hera, but defended himself so well that he was acquitted.
They completely mixed up Greek mythology in this version. Fun fact: In the genealogy Homer presents in classic Greek mythology, Io is actually Perseus's great great great great great great great grandmother!
I recommend Wrath of the Titans. Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson together is just so much fun to watch. Personally, it was more epic. The actress who played Andromeda was replaced by Rosamund Pike. I was very disappointed as I was not a fan of Rosamund Pike…until I saw Wrath. I just fell in love with her and became a fan ever since. During the epic battle scene which I saw in 3d, I actually ducked for cover when flaming magma was thrown at the screen! I had fun with Wrath of the Titans. Give it a chance. As a kid I was horrified by Francisco Goya’s gruesome painting of Saturn Devouring his Son. So I wondered how Zeus’ father Saturn (Kronos) would be depicted in Wrath of the Titans. I was not disappointed! In this film, the King of the Titans, Kronos is the stuff of nightmares!
Hey the original Disney Hercules had more respect for the Greek Gods, characters in this film saw God of War and thought they could talk smack to to Olympus too. Problem was Kratos could back up his talk most of these characters can't.
In the original myth of Medusa, it was looking at her FACE that would turn you to stone, because she was so hideous. At some point though, she got rewritten to still being very beautiful even after her transformation, and now it was looking into her EYES that would turn you to stone. It's a revision in Greek mythology that I actually really like, and I'm glad this film followed that version, because in my mind it actually makes Medusa an even MORE dangerous adversary to fight against.
Did people in ANCIENT GREECE have frigging BUZZ CUTS? I don't think so. I mean the hero here looks more like a member of the US army than a classical Greek warrior!
I love these kinds of mythological adventure journey movies. We don't get many of them nowadays in mid/high budget, but I'm happy when they show up. I'll always by hype for the Djinn in this, they're so cool.
Realy liked this one, mayby mainly because I love the score . You should watch Beowulf (2007) Very underrated heroes tale made by computer generated graphics... Hopkins, Malcovich, Jolie 😯👍 and the soundtrack, super epic masterpiece!
It was Legendary (and WB) who remade this in 2010. Now that they have set up shop at Sony/Columbia Pictures, I have these anxieties that they want to tackle other Ray Harryhausen features (most of Ray's films were done at Columbia). Is "Jason & The Argonauts" or "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" next? Legendary has done well with their monster movies of late.
I doubt they would try as Legendary seem to have a good thing going at the moment with Dune and the Godzilla universe. We are getting a prequel to 300 soon from Synder and Legendary so at least for the time our childhood favs are safe.
Mythological Nitpick regarding Hades: Hades was largely uncaring about the affairs of gods and men. He was the god of the underworld, and to him, every creature, both god and men, would eventually come under his rule in time. A more appropriate god to be the antagonist of this film would have been Ares. A war between gods and men would have empowered him, allowing him to gain enough power to do what Hades did in this movie.
The whole point of this movie is humanity wants to become independent from the gods but if that happens, we no longer see gods, there is no longer a cosmic order in the universe, it's like now we no longer value religion, if we don't value technology
That sad to because i thought he done a really good job but! thats the way some actors are tho i ask myself then why in the hell did you get in to acting for?!?!
I do like this one, but I prefer the original. Personally, I think Laurence Olivier giving the order to release the Kraken sounded better than Liam Neeson saying it. Seeing Pete Postlethwaite as the mortal father of Perseus was great, even though he did not have a lot of screentime. Another actor who had a small role was Martin McCann, who would go on to play Marine R.V. Burgin in the HBO series The Pacific. Before this movie, Sam Worthington had a small role in the 2005 movie The Great Raid, as a U.S. Army Ranger. It is based on the true story of the rescue of over 500 prisoners of war being held by the Japanese. The rescue happened in January 1945, with 122 men from the 6th Ranger Battalion going 30 miles behind enemy lines to rescue those men.
I don't like this one as much as the first. It just felt off and forced. As the only black character in the movie is Pegasus, who's originally a white stallion horse. Story is weird and different. Pacing is faster but uneven.
Funniest part for me is they've just STRONGLY implied 'The Kraken' is a man...Remember, the Djinn didn't turn to stone. Women and presumably other demi-gods who should be around or above the power of the Djinn shouldn't be effected.
Worthington has for sure had his share of not so great movies, but I really like 'man on a ledge'. Not sure how well it did in the box office, but it also has several other big and recognizable actors and is worth a watch imo.
With his Avatar star power the main reason for being cast - the film just needed more so they gave Sam Worthington an amazing group of actors to support him. I laughed when they gave him the shield made from the scorpion carapace - just like RPG games, he got a legendary blade gifted during his quest and then a group member gave him that shield, 'high quality'. Seriously, it plays out just like a game.
Yep! hard damn facts!!! part 2 is awesome!! but! i really dont think there going react to the second one since the boss said she really didnt care to react to part 2 so they wont so so sad.😢😖😡👎👎
The look and story for the most part of this are good. But the original had better acting, more charm, seems to be held higher, and was the type of story you'd expect a Greek Myth to look and flow. This version sadly lacks a lot of the those qualities.
I hope you’re going to watch the second one after this, it’s a continuing story. Another great movie in this vein starring Henry Cavill, is “Immortals”.😊 Also, Wrath of the Titans is not a 3-D movie, btw.Sam Worthington was also in Hacksaw Ridge.
This movie wasn't all that bad. It was punchy, had great pacing and was just an entertaining watch. The makers of the film knew what kind of movie they were making and achieved that goal. It had the right amount of edge and did not dwell on Perseus' grief for too long. One thing I liked to do was compare the depiction of Greek mythology in this and Percy Jackson, since they were released in 2010. There was also Immortals released in the following year. Now THAT one was interesting seeing how all the gods were depicted as youthful models.
It really was a weird time when all these "Ancient Greek" Movies came out, it was like each one chose a VERY specific Hero and expanded on their story. Yet I will ALWAYS hold any take Greek Mythology to the standard of The Percy Jackson series, which in my very own opinion is the EPITOME of blending The Old World with the New World
That was the one thing thing I disliked about the film were these Ancient Greeks saying we don't need or want the Gods of Olympus and my thought was if you chose to do Greeks there real that would make sense or even Greek characters that always had that air about them,but no they chose the characters that even in Myth asked for help. So while Iikex this version when it came out I preferred the original even then.
um... no, not really... anything with an exoskeleton can only get so big, because of the square/cube ratio. there were things that had insect like adaptations, but not real insects. about the size of a large cat, and millipede types as long as your leg were about as big as they got. oh, and dragonfly types with the wingspan of a hawk. but nothing riding size.
I was more confused as to what and why that guy was even in this film because as odd as it is that character seemed the most out of place in this story.
Saw this in theaters. Thought it was pretty lame tbh. Gemma artenton (sp?) I thought was awful in this. The sequel is a tad bit better but not by much. I think immortals was better than them both. Mostly because the action is way cooler than anything in these movies. They all kind of corny though lol
The lead in this movie refused to wear a tiga because he didn't want his nipples to be showing. This movie was, basically, faith vs atheism. IMO the original was waaaaay better.
@@donovanbradford8231 yes I only recently found it and was shocked how good it was very easy watch turn brain off and Clancy brown is the best villain actor ever! There can be only one
I wasn't even watching as the reaction started, but instantly recognized Pete Postlethwaites voice! What a great actor with an unmistakable voice. From my neck o the woods, and as reluctant as I am to say this really annoying cliche sentence, he is criminally underrated. But I'm actually being genuine, not jus saying words! He pops up all over the place and barely gets a mention
I was stoked when I heard this movie was coming out, having grown up with the original. But when it came out, I was a little let down. Yes, the effects were better but I feel they went overboard. Why were the scorpions so big? At least in the original, they were a size that gave the men a realistic chance to fight. Why the comic relief duo? The lack of an epic instrumental score didn’t help either.
Agreed I really felt the original was trying to tell a Greek Myth in the form of a feature film while this version was trying to put Greek Mythological characters into a modern story and it just didn't work.
You two have to see Jason and the Argonauts (1963) at some point. It's way better than Clash of the Titans even though I loved Clash of the Titans as a kid.
Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson work so well together. Let's not forget Schindler's List.

You being a racist cloen and thinking a culture from 2000 years ago wouldn't put veils over women cause you didn't see statues with it is peak racism.
You are such a racist clown you can't possible believe a culture from 2000 years ago couldn't possibly put veils on women's faces only Arabs. You rat.
I heard that Bubo is the same Bubo used in the original movie.
The lack of nudity in this version distances it from the reality of ancient Greece, where that would not have been offensive.
I also wanted to see Gemma Arteton with her kit off
@@MogMonster87 Gemma was a smoke show in this one. This and Prince of Persia.

The 1980 version is my fav as I grew up in that time. I hated this one when I went to see it but I can see some of its merits now.
The look and story for the most part of this are good. But the original had better acting, more charm, seems to be held higher, and was the type of story you'd expect a Greek Myth to look and flow. This version sadly lacks a lot of the those qualities.
A movie filmed in Canary Islands, Spain.
Anything that walks in the room they tell it to go lay down. Be it child or canine.
Medusa's not ugly in this one.
She looks like something out of a video game too. Sucks.
until she's actively turning someone to stone
The woman who plays IO sounds similar to Rachel Weisz
Let them know men did this! best line in the whole damn movie.😁🤨😯👍
I hope you’re going to watch the second one after this, it’s a continuing story. Another great movie in this vein starring Henry Cavill, is “Immortals”.😊
Also, Wrath of the Titans is not a 3-D movie, btw.Sam Worthington was also in Hacksaw Ridge.
Is the princess Alexa Dalvos? She looks familiar.
She was in The Chronicles of Riddick
Davalos, and yes.
This movie wasn't all that bad. It was punchy, had great pacing and was just an entertaining watch. The makers of the film knew what kind of movie they were making and achieved that goal. It had the right amount of edge and did not dwell on Perseus' grief for too long.
One thing I liked to do was compare the depiction of Greek mythology in this and Percy Jackson, since they were released in 2010. There was also Immortals released in the following year. Now THAT one was interesting seeing how all the gods were depicted as youthful models.
It really was a weird time when all these "Ancient Greek" Movies came out, it was like each one chose a VERY specific Hero and expanded on their story. Yet I will ALWAYS hold any take Greek Mythology to the standard of The Percy Jackson series, which in my very own opinion is the EPITOME of blending The Old World with the New World
That was the one thing thing I disliked about the film were these Ancient Greeks saying we don't need or want the Gods of Olympus and my thought was if you chose to do Greeks there real that would make sense or even Greek characters that always had that air about them,but no they chose the characters that even in Myth asked for help. So while Iikex this version when it came out I preferred the original even then.
16:10 GOOEEEY! XD
You and Mrs. Movies might like Immortals. It's a Clash of the Titans style story.
Mr might be. She is obviously not a fan of those kind of movies.
@@Wlof25 She might like who is in it.
There were insects the size of a bus ages ago. The problem was they weren’t evolutionarily sound so they shrunk.
um... no, not really... anything with an exoskeleton can only get so big, because of the square/cube ratio. there were things that had insect like adaptations, but not real insects. about the size of a large cat, and millipede types as long as your leg were about as big as they got. oh, and dragonfly types with the wingspan of a hawk. but nothing riding size.
LMAO casual paleontologist passing through over here.
@youdyed no, but I studied insects in school and the question of maximum size came up. The details were from a simple Google search.
Love the music in this one.
Isn't a djinn supposed to be a spirit of fire?
I was more confused as to what and why that guy was even in this film because as odd as it is that character seemed the most out of place in this story.
Saw this in theaters. Thought it was pretty lame tbh. Gemma artenton (sp?) I thought was awful in this. The sequel is a tad bit better but not by much. I think immortals was better than them both. Mostly because the action is way cooler than anything in these movies. They all kind of corny though lol
One thing that bothers me about this movie. How come Perseus doesn't have a Northern English accent like his adopted Dad?
because he's not a good actor? lol
I heard Bubo does car commercials… in Japan.
Titans Will Clash.
The lead in this movie refused to wear a tiga because he didn't want his nipples to be showing.
This movie was, basically, faith vs atheism.
IMO the original was waaaaay better.
You me and the movies you should consider a great action Norse film starring Clancy brown as villain and a young Karl urban 🤙🏻called Pathfinder
I enjoyed Pathfinder when it came out a nice little action flick.
@@donovanbradford8231 yes I only recently found it and was shocked how good it was very easy watch turn brain off and Clancy brown is the best villain actor ever! There can be only one
Best Regards From Sweden ❤
Cult leader...." You will die of an infection, sir."!😂😂😂... Total mom comment
I wasn't even watching as the reaction started, but instantly recognized Pete Postlethwaites voice! What a great actor with an unmistakable voice. From my neck o the woods, and as reluctant as I am to say this really annoying cliche sentence, he is criminally underrated. But I'm actually being genuine, not jus saying words! He pops up all over the place and barely gets a mention
I was stoked when I heard this movie was coming out, having grown up with the original. But when it came out, I was a little let down. Yes, the effects were better but I feel they went overboard. Why were the scorpions so big? At least in the original, they were a size that gave the men a realistic chance to fight. Why the comic relief duo? The lack of an epic instrumental score didn’t help either.
Agreed I really felt the original was trying to tell a Greek Myth in the form of a feature film while this version was trying to put Greek Mythological characters into a modern story and it just didn't work.
Time for the sequel! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 'Wrath of the Titans'
I really enjoyed this remake. And its sequel WRATH OF THE TITANS.
I enjoyed this movie.
haven't watched it since it came out .
You two have to see Jason and the Argonauts (1963) at some point. It's way better than Clash of the Titans even though I loved Clash of the Titans as a kid.
Medusa works on anyone regardless of gender
