But what are the rest of the guys supposed to be?


The two headed beastie is actually a Chimera.

If they ever bring a multi-headed canid into the franchise (should there be anymore films), I'd rather they go with the actual Cerberus instead of the butcher-job that was Dioskilos.

Anyone going to see this movie? From what I've read from the reviews that this movie is better then the first but it's still not a good movie. One of my friend told me that if you like mindless action with no good story then the movie is perfect for you.

I'm gonna see it. I was hoping to see it tomorrow or Saturday but it looks like that's pushed back a week. As with the first Clash of the Titans, I'm just looking for an enjoyable movie, not something that's trying to be this wonderful, iconic films of the 2010s or whatever. It's the same with a Godzilla movie. None of us are looking for a critically "good" movie, sans the original, but something entertaining.

I'll go see it just for the mindless action and i was hoping that this movie would at least have a good story.

I saw it Saturday. It was quite good. Sure, it wont win any awards but if you love the actors and characters, you'll dig it.

I didn't see the first one as it looked like a joke, and it seems the trailers show everything on TV for free. Why would I go see it?

I'm hoping to see this soon. All I expect is a mindless action film featuring monsters, and that's probably what I'll get.

Saw it weeks ago. As someone who thought the Clash remake was fun, my reaction was meh.

This film was actually weaker then ''Clash of the Titans'' in it's over-all tone, i thought. Didn't really care much for Hades an Zues teaming up either... An i actually enjoyed Clash of the Titans for the most part except the portrayal of Medusa an lack of the Kraken.

Isn't this film underperforming compared to CotT? IIRC CotT made a pretty fancy $500M but this is at approximately half that and it's been out for almost a month. Anyhow I still want to see it.

I dont think WotT got as much push. I didnt see any trailers for it anywhere.

I see. So I take it that they're really not looking for more installments in the current series then ...

They've already hired a writer for a third one. It depends what they expected. They knew the last one got a hohum reception, and in 20/20 hindsight they opened against the Hunger Games. All things considered, it did better than I actually thought it would. I seriously expected the movie to ve slaughtered.

They could end up rebooting the series just like Fox is doing with the Fantastic Four seeing that the second F4 movie made less then the first movie. I won't be surprise if the same happens with Clash of the Titans.

Might not be a bad way to go, either.

Why? Why not just let it die? Why can't they let the timeless effects of Harryhausen stand as they are, embedded in our memories as childhood delights?

Oh yeah, the obvious reason: The Almighty Dollar.

That's my opinion too. Obviously I don't like them in the same way as the Godzilla movies or whatever, but I like both not because they're great movies critically*. Rather, they're just good entertainment.

*most Godzilla movies at least.

Also, the original CotT is EXTREMELY BORING. Only the stop-motion is memorable.
