Clash of the Titans


It will come as no surprise to most people that I am rather looking forward to the new Clash of the Titans picture. They have recently just released the first teaser trailer for the film and I have a few things I'd like to mention -just a quick blog today.

The trailer, to my surprise, came across very much in the same tone as '300'. It seems as though they have opted for the more 'kick-ass' popcorn approach for the re-make -not that this is necessarily a tragedy. I enjoyed '300' very much and it's a very entertaining film but it's audience appeal was limited by its over testosterone filled style. The choice of contemporary soundtrack I fear will also result in '300' becoming a dated film down the line.
Now I realise it is a bit much to be making criticism of a film based on its first teaser but it just seems to portray a very shallow, action crammed movie. All this being said, I'm still looking forward to the film. And there is nothing particularly wrong with a film that's just an action adventure and nothing more -it's good fun but that's all it is.
