I love movies based on Greek mythology like “The Odyssey.” Movies with a monster that needs to be slain by some person with just a sword and a lot of determination are my favorite kind of movies. With that said it was no coincidence that I liked “Clash of the Titans.” This movie was a remake of a 1981 film with the same name. “Clash of the Titans” is the story of a son of Zeus (king of the gods) named Perseus who goes on a quest to save the city of Argos and the Princess Andromeda from the Kraken. Perseus must defeat not only the Kraken but Medusa (can turn people into stone with one look) as well as Hades (lord of the underworld). Throughout the movie Perseus tries to deny his godly lineage, but is forced to face the fact that he is different as he faces each obstacle in his path. There were many good scenes in the movie like when Perseus and other warriors must face these giant scorpion creatures. Another scene I enjoyed was the fight with Madusa. She slowly picked off all of Perseus comrades by turning them to stone until Perseus was the only one left. It is a movie I would definitely watch again and would recommend to everyone. Below I included the movie trailer because I could not pick one scene but the trailer has a part of all my favorites.
*I give “Clash of the Titan a 9 out of 10*
