Clash of the Titans originally was a quirky epic done quite impressively with live action and stop motion animation. Yes it looks funny by todays standards of what special effects should be, but in the eighty's it was top notch. Today's version of Clash of the Titans updates the special effects by leaps and bounds to please todays movie goer. However, thats about all they've updated. The story is basically the same, the action is all basically the same. Its definitely an enjoyable movie, however, all the creatures you see in the movie are revealed in the preview, which kind of takes away from drawn out "reveal" scenes for each monster. You already know whats coming, so throw any suspense out the window. This movie is no better and no worse than its predecessor. Its simply a re-do with different effects and different actors. There's no new story really, except for the addition of Hades, who is evil incarnate and travels around much like the "evil incarnate" un-Locke(smoke monster) from Lost. Apparently we've discovered how evil travels, black pillars of smoke. But I digress. The 3D in this movie was most definitely disappointing. I didn't really notice it at all. I came out of the theater feeling cheated on the 3D aspects of the movie. All in all this is a fun action packed adventure thats worth a look if you're a fan of the original. If you've never seen the original, you may enjoy this version even more, but i wouldn't shell out the extra 4 or 5 dollars for the 3D showtimes, its just not worth it.
