I loved the original and I have to say that I enjoyed this one as well and the reason for that is what special effects can do for a movie of this caliber. I had said before that I believed Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator: Salvation) was going to be the next big thing from Australia. I still think I'm right on that one. Sam stars as Demigod Perseus, who wants to extract revenge for the death of his adoptive family by the hands of Hades (played by Ralph Fiennes), the God of the underworld. Man for a while was appreciative of the Gods until man rises up and defies them. Hades has a plan to convince Zeus (played by Liam Neeson) to punish mankind for their disobedience, but is it for his own agenda. So Perseus and a handful of soldiers are on a quest to defeat the Kraken and save the princess from being sacrificed. The very beautiful Alexa Davalos (Defiance) stars as the princess Andromeda, Gemma Arterton (Quantum Of Solace) stars as Perseus's watcher IO, Mads Mikkelsen (King Arthur) stars as Draco, and Pete Postlethwaite (Inception) as Perseus's adoptive father Spyros. There are a lot of great actors in this movie and I give the movie a B because the original still rocks and we need to become more original with movies. The age of the remakes continues!
