Clash Of The Titans

**1/2 – I guess I can’t really call this a bad movie, although for being a fantasy/action film it seemed awfully boring. It had lots of nifty effects and goofy looking creatures and battle scenes and lovingly filmed death sequences, but none of it seemed very cohesive. The plot was just all over the place and confusing as all get out, with crummy dialogue and not much going on between action sequences to keep one’s attention. It did, however, feature Sam “Avatar Guy” Worthington’s finest acting performance to date. That’s not really saying much since most of his “acting” in this movie consists of jumping around, grunting and yelling things like “Go!” and “Move faster!” along with the occasional nod or other head movement. It just burns my ass a little, I guess. All the critical praise this dope gets for his terrible acting skills is just incomprehensible to me. He must have naked pictures of everyone in Hollywood that he is using to blackmail his way into super-stardom. In any event, this movie isn’t anything that you’re not expecting it to be going in. So if you’re in the mood for some mindless and confusing action this is the movie for you. It’s better than the Harry Hamlin version, anyway.
