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

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
