Well, the special effects have to be better than the original. And that cast looks stellar. I think Theis is gettin' a boner over another big role for Sam Worthington, lol  :D

Sam Worthington is 1-1 for me.  He was in a near-masterpiece with Avatar, but was also in one of the worst films I've ever seen (Terminator:Salvation).  So this will definitely break the tie.

The original is a classic!  Shunned.

All kidding aside, I think it would be great to see these kinds of movies come back. Good find, Theis, I'm looking forward to it.

On a side note, why do these types of movies always pick such poppy music as their themes/intros. I think this was definitely a metal - worthy trailer...

I know, sorry. I do consider Ray Harryhausen a legend, but remaking the original actually does makes sense to me. For once.

looks interesting. probablly too much action and not enough story and character depth for my taste.

Well.... Did anyone see this? What did you think? I thought it was just OK, The 3D was totally not needed or done very well at all. In my opinion.  :)

I've actually only heard bad things about it so far. I haven't seen the original on the other hand, so I might not have the same expactations as those who did.

If you compare it's gonna be total shit. If you don't even think about the fact it's a remake it's mindless fun.  ;D

I've definitely lost my interest in this.

As bright lights said...I'll see it eventually.

I saw this a few days ago with a co-worker (I would have preferred to seen Hot Tub Time Machine, but she was set on this one).

I enjoy Greek mythology and loved learning about ancient Greek Art and all that jazz, but this film was not good. Nailec hit it on the nose: more attention to action than story. Greek mythology is interesting on its own -- you don't need to mask it with special effects and action.

yeah i agree, i just saw it too. lame acting and writing. i saw it in 2d, but loved how you could tell with a couple scenes that they were obviously trying to make an excuse for the 3d.
