Liam Neeson plays Zeus, who it seems is the God of Bacofoil.

I wasn’t sure I could be doing with another take on Greek mythology quite so soon after seeing the piss poor Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It’s perhaps unfortunate timing that Clash of the Titans came along hot on the heels of that Percy Jackson tripe then.

In Clash of the Titans (and I know this may come as a shock to you)… the gods of Olympus are angry. I know, they’re always bloody angry about something. This time, those poor sausages are feeling a smidge unloved by the very people who should be worshipping at their feet, so Zeus sends in Hades to kick some human ass, in the hope that the gods earn little bit of respect for all their omnipotent doings.

Only it doesn’t quite work like that, as the humans turn out to be up for a bit of a rumble. Demi-god Percy is also a little annoyed that the gods have killed his non-bio father and can’t wait to join his human friends in sticking a trident up Zeus’ Kraken.

The 3D version of Clash of the Titans is, to put it bluntly, a waste of time. It wasn’t originally filmed in the 3D (and it shows), they’ve just jumped on the 3D bandwagon and added the effect in later using a bit of digital trickery. Trouble is, you’d be hard pushed to even notice it was even 3D in most places. Considering the extra cost of the ticket for watching the 3D version, it’s hard not to feel a little bit conned by Clash of the Titans – a warning sign to avoid other “3D” films that weren’t shot in 3D originally perhaps?

5/10.
