When Argos needs saving there is only one demigod for the job: briefly; Perseus [Baby: Unknown/Younger: Otto Farrant/Older: Sam Washington:] unknown to him to begin with he is a demigod that amongst other characters gets sent on a mission to save this place known as Argos. Be for Hades [Ralph Fiennes:] God of the underworld and Zeus's brother, he wants the Princess of Argos; Andromeda [Alexa Davalos] in some days time [yes I have forgotten the distance of time apologies for that] or he will release the Kraken to destroy Argos.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 108 minutes film is good; the journey aspect of this film is a reliably good part of this film, more or less it may just be the other aspects of this film that many be a limited hit and for large parts meh.

Art, actions and comedy; I can't stand much of the art, correction as I am sitting in thinking about it I can't stand any of it; No really I can't stand any of it. From Zeus [Liam Neeson:] the King of the Gods on Mount Olympus which has grown tiresome of his creations and in his angry frustration he allows this sequence of events to begin and he is the father of Perseus; but I digress: he has this shiny armour effects thing going on or any other bright effects going on with these Gods or/and nothing stands out in part from the really crummy effects on these monsters including but not limited to Medusa; she did nothing for me as it relates to this interpretation/version of her and the action sequences clearly look and felt as if they would just doing their job; okay a solid job but that was about it and to be honest there was only one sequence of action I liked which I will discuss in a little while.

Character developments and performances; well the character developments are straightforward connecting the dots that kind of thing, with performances which likewise were and are a true reflection of them, with the vast majority of this cast not exactly putting too much effort in; now to be more precise the only one that really put the effort in to make his character stand out and be well rounded with his characters; character type and tried to put some comedy like with giving some combat training with a sword to Perseus was; Mads Mikkelsen as Draco: he is the captain of the Royal guard of Argos that accompanies Perseus on his journey. This is one of those occasions where Mikkelsen should have clearly been at minimum nominated for a positive acting award, because anyone that comes out of this title looking good and when you watch or if you come to watch this film you will see; he clearly stands out head and shoulders above everyone else.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; now having said this I should also make it abundantly clear as you can tell and see it does have problems, but the strongest asset to this film is when it doesn't do anything too complicated, which conversely should tell you a lot about this film, but cosmetic side of this project is something I really don't like as you can clearly see, but then again this film got green lit to come out with a sequel just roughly 2 years later; Wrath of the Titans 2012, so you can make of that what you will. This film also has some awards to its name and it shouldn't be any surprise but no not all of them are positive awards. 4 Winners that include but not limited to positive ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards 2011 ASCAP Award Top Box Office Films Ramin Djawadi and negative Alliance of Women Film Journalists 2011 EDA Special Mention Award Remake That Shouldn't Have Been Made. Nominees 14 positive Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA Saturn Award Best Fantasy Film 2011 and negative which there is a selection, but I will just pick one; Golden Schmoes Awards 2010 Golden Schmoes Biggest Disappointment of the Year.
