Clash of the Titans (2D)

Have we reached the point where you have to disclose whether you saw the 2D or 3D version? Do you have to defend your choice? In this case, the 2D version was showing at the time I wanted to see it. This did not disappoint me because of the $5 it saved me as well as the fact that I had heard so much negativity about the 3D version (e.g. unnecessary, marketing add-on aftereffect, etc.). In any case, Clash of the Titans was a mediocre summer action film. We follow the story of demigod Perseus, the son of Zeus and a human mother, in his effort to avenge the murder of his earthly family by his "demi-uncle?", the god Hades. We get plenty of action scenes in route to a final showdown with the Hades created monster The Kraken. The fact that this was only a mediocre summer film is probably why it was released in April -- it would not stand up to the real summer competition. There were quite a few amusing elements to the show, but it doesn't hold up well as a well scripted movie. Perhaps because it was spring break, and I had nothing else to do that day...
