Late last year, GalleyCat readers harshly judged the new movie trailer for Clash of the Titans. This weekend marks the release of that remake of a 1981 film by the same name. But both movies were adapted from the literary adventures of the Greek hero, Perseus and we’ve revived your adaptation remake reviews–just in time for the film’s debut.
Here are your reviews: “Where’s the mechanical owl??” asked reader Robyn Andrews, raising a crucial question about the remake.
Reader James Enge noted: “Neither movie seems really close to, say, Ovid (or any other literary source for the Perseus legend). That’s not necessarily a problem: Ovid’s stories might be hard to storyboard.”
“The trailer isn’t terrible, but ‘Titans Will Clash’? Really? Seriously?” noted reader Robert Fleck.
Reader Guy LeCharles Gonzalez was unimpressed: “Meh. Looks like a fun DVD when the Netflix queue gets thin, but nothing worth getting a babysitter for.”
