How is "Wrath of the Titans"?

I know it's a big CGI type thing, but I actually enjoyed much of the first film, (that remake of Clash of the Titans from a year or two ago), and so, I'm hoping for a fun film.

After all, it has Liam Neeson!

I did prefer the remake to the 1980 original. The 1980 original was OK, but the stop motion just kind of took me out of the "reality" (so to speak) of the situations. That, and that damned stupid owl character of the original.

They made a reference to the owl in the remake, he sees the owl and says, "What's this?", and the other character says "Leave it!" Funny!

Not that good. Some things should be left alone. [Wink]

Let's be honest Osi, people will still be watching the stop motion
classics long after these insipid,colourless "remakes" are long,
and perhaps best, forgotten.Their so called heroes speak in the
modern idiom,and if that doesn't dispell belief,nothing will.For
all the so called sophistication of up to the mark technology,they
come across with all the polish of a childs chalk drawing,two
dimentional and crap.

Very true and despite the limitations of the past stop motion films I still think that these classics will remain more than the newer one's. So Hugh have total agreement on your comment. The new technical 3D one's may be shown with the high price Multiplex admissions. But wil be lost and forgotten compared with the film classics too much to list here.
