Clash of the Titans, the remake by Louis Leterrier and staring Sam Worthington, is a bland action movie with passable, but not great, special effects. The original, which I haven't seen in years, holds a special place for the special effects and it's interpretation of classic stories. This new version does nothing to replace or differentiate enough from the original to be worth making. Plus the big Kraken at the end of the film is nothing special since they show it all in the trailer, if you have seen the trailer you have seen everything you want to see in the film. Nothing in this film will make you forget Bubo the mechanical owl(it even makes an appearance)or Harryhausen's great stop motion special effects.
