Clash of the Titans

And after the long period of stagnancy and immobility, I'm back with some thing to share and to write. I just got home from Robinson's Ermita where we watched CLASH OF THE TITANS and here's what I have to say about it:

• Ok I might sound a bit biased because I enjoy movies on Greek Mythology, but this movie was excellent. It has everything in moderation -- Fights/Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Comic Insertions and yes, even a bit of a love story angle.
• Fights were more realistic than fantastic, which would make the general viewing public more interested. However, there are cases where you'd have to say "This can never happen in real life". but then again, Perseus is not just a man.
• Adventure seekers will enjoy the travelling bits, especially because the scenes don't revolve around only one kind of terrain. Generally, it's a mix of Lord of the rings travelling with a Percy Jackson (hmm) plot.
• Being a story on Greek Mythology, a significant amount of fantasy was employed, although as with other recent mythological movies (Troy, Percy Jackson, Etc) as much realism as possible was used.
• Just as we do with food, we enjoy a mix of flavors. We especially love how the SWEET element mixes with everything. Which is why I'd have to say, though generally not a comedy, CLASH's comic insertions are timed just right, preventing too much of one taste. Though some people just refuse to smile until they get what they came for. (hint, hint)
• Ah and yes, love. I like how the "love/romance" element is only the cherry on top of the sundae. Actually it's more like the nuts on the sundae, or sesame seeds on a bun. Seemingly insignificant but they add a tickly yummy feeling.

But don't take my word for it. Can't please everyone, so I'm sure you'll have your own take on this epic movie.
