RELEASE THE KRACKEN! perhaps it can destroy hollywood before they remake clash of the titans

xpost Ned that actually makes it sound worth watching!

DM it does, for 1 sec

From a friend:

I went to Clash of the Titans on Friday when it opened. That was not my
best decision ever.

3D is such a gyp.

The mortals rebelling against the gods aspect was interesting, but other than that this was entirely medium. Also it was horribly over-designed. The screen was always way too fucking busy.

whoever said upthread that Peter Jackson has alot to answer for, George Lucas has more.

The design of the LOTR movies are very elegant, I think. Not so Episodes I-III, so yeah, I agree.

this movie was dumb and stupid and when they pulled out the clockwork owl and we never saw it again, that actually pissed me off a little. also every actor in this movie used a different action/fantasy movie accent. i felt like i might have been more impressed by the 3D stuff if i hadn't seen how to train your dragon.

how to train your dragon, btw, so far, best use of 3D graphics.

Better than Avatar? I mean, as much as I fucking hated that movie, the 3D effects were pretty phenomenal. I liked that it wasn't all "here comes a fist flying out of the screen at your face!".

Face Punch!

Nicely played.

RELEASE THE ARMOND

omigod I want this as a thread title, with this image:

Just back from seeing this. Every seat in the cinema taken, though, tbf, it is Orange Wednesday. It was, um, yeah. I don't know, can't remember much about it. Gemma Aterton looked fine, Liam Neeson ridiculous, and when Sam Worthington was doing that scowl he looked like Private Pile.
Funny that the Kraken was talked up throughout the movie, even in the movie's intro, and it lasted onscreen for about 5 minutes not really doing much, and then was killed. Spoiler, sorry. + riding across the desert on giant scorpions set against setting sun skies was stupid. + Medusa wasn't scary but was v. good looking for a hag. + so on.

this sucked ass

except for that silent djinn dude, his death was kinda funny

Harryhausen 4-ever and ever

really hate how the default move for making things more memorable is to just make it BIGGER and HUMONGOUS

I was quite prepared to like this no matter what it threw at me - men v gods + fictional monsters = what could go wrong. For about the first ten minutes I thought it was doing ok (thought the 3d sea look pretty good).

However, it turned out of course to be mega shit and insanely boring in places (ok you're getting on the big scorpions again) and had that meaningless 'now for the next level' computer game plotting (see also the last James Bond and the last Bourne film). Weakest link Gods, weakest acting humans, and although I haven't seen the original for over a decade, I'm pretty certain Harryhausen's Medusa > this Medusa (although that was the best bit).

And, yep, the end was Cloverfield II: A New Beginning.

What a pointless crock.

just saw the new one tonight, i know this will surprise you guys but it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked

this is on netflix and tuned in for a little last night and lollll
