Growing up, I was a huge fan of just about any film involving Ray Harryhausen. The Sinbad films and Jason and the Argonauts had a magical feeling to them from beginning to end. While the creatures were cool, the story and characters were what’s made those films remain good today.

While the original Clash of the Titans wasn’t necessarily one of Harryhausen’s better films, I may actually like it more than this new one. Sure you have a lot of really cool creatures, but this one seems more focused on that and action at the sacrifice of story and characters. The characters seem like they could be really interesting. Given more screen time to get to know them, I’m sure it would have elevated the movie somewhat.

I saw the movie in normal 2D since I’d heard the 3D was atrocious. I think I’ll tend to stay away from 3D in general unless a film is specifically filmed for it, as Avatar was.
