A classic film filled with character, personality, and charm about a young hero learning about his destiny as a demigod and... oh wait, that was the original movie. This would be the remake in which people fight mythological creatures and say awkward lines that probably looked really good on paper, but fall flat when spoken out loud. Sure, the effects are now computer generated, so a giant kraken looks giant, and Medusa actually comes off real well and there are "scorpiochs" or something... But what you reproduce with digital clarity, you strip the personality from. The effects in the original movie were impressive because they were dealing with such simple technology (stop motion animation). Now, they're just like everything else, so what do you have to fall back on? Well, it certainly isn't plot, writing, or great characters. In the movie's favor, I still came out of it entertained. Not blown away or overwhelmed, but I wasn't bored... much. Oh, and I did not see the 3D version. News
