Review: I already found Clash of the Titans to be a useless remake of a Classic (even though very dated) so I watched this sequel out of curiosity. There are more titans, monsters and Gods for Perseus to fight with or against, but it is all so badly put together. The story seems to be following a recipe used many times already (the path of the hero) but the studios producing such movies don't even make the effort of doing it right anymore. It is just a succession of scenes alternating action and supposed character development but none make you really feel involved in the stakes. The only thing to be saved from that movie, like from others similar, is the quality of the special effects. They really did a very good job, although some designs may look borrowed from The Lord of the Rings (the Titan = the Balrog). I also found the opening action scene well shot, with the inclusion of long sequence-shots. I liked the reference to the original Clash of the Titans in the form of the mechanical owl that we glimpse at some point. But the movie suffers from a terrible lack of interest and embarrassing holes in the editing, making it look like a patchwork of elements re-shot after catastrophic test projections.
