Review of Clash of the Titans (1981) by Irvin C — 12 May 2013

Now this one I enjoyed quite a bit more. Maggie Smith and Laurence Olivier are part of the cast so you KNOW the acting department is well taken-cared of. And watching this really highlights how lame the 2010 remake is.

Sure, the CGI effects look more polished and "realistic" but Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation still is more fun to watch especially if it's on the small screen. I mean, the Medusa in this one is far more effective than the CGI Medusa.

There's also a lot more story, depth, character and imagination in there as well. Hell, Bubo the Owl alone kicks most CGI character's asses.
