Movie: Clash of the Titans {2010)
Genre: Action, Fantasy
Rating: 5/10
To be honest, I was going into this movie with a lot of hope that it would be spectacular and it turned out to be craptacular instead. So close, but not what I wanted to see. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not that it was a bad movie, but I just felt a little ripped off.
As anybody who has read my reviews before would know, I’m a stickler for format. If there isn’t a solid plot, true character development or even any good special effects: You don’t have a good movie. This is the case for Clash of The Titans.
Though the plot wasn’t bad, it felt rushed. Though it was apparent that there was a plot line, many parts could have been expanded or explained better (or at all). There was many parts of the movie where there was missing information, or more so missing character interactions, that needed to occur to pull the scenes together. The way they laid it out, the characters knew the answer to everything before it happened, which makes me feel like I’m are watching actors.
The character development…well there wasn’t any. The relationships the characters had changed from one moment to the next without warning or reason, making me wonder if I fell asleep during part of it (which is quite likely at this point). This movie attempts to capture many aspects relating to the connections the characters have to one another, but the presentation simply isn’t even to justify the fact or make it believable. It would have been better off if they didn’t try at all.
Clash of The Titans was presented in “3D”, which was nothing but a waste of an extra $3, on top of the cost of the ticket prices. I noticed 1 scene where it came remotely close to being 3D, and even then it wasn’t very good. This is one of those movies where all the cool parts with monsters and action are shown in the commercials.
Conclusion: Wait for it to come out on DVD, rent if it you really have nothing else to watch. If you’re smart, you’ll wait until it shows up on TV for free instead, you’re not missing anything.

Movie: Transformers
Genre: Action
I REALLY didn’t want to write a review for this movie. I honestly can’t even figure out why, but I just didn’t care for this movie, it rubbed me the wrong way. There were tons of explosions and everything, but I found (and it seems to be just me) that almost all of the robots looked the same. I seriously couldn’t tell who it was that got killed until the 2nd time I saw it. I think it’s the fact that when they’re fighting they’re far too shiny and you can’t see the colors as well.
The plot itself was OK I guess. It’s not supposed to have an awesome plot, it’s robots beating the living tar out of each other. The plot they had going on with the teenagers was boring, didn’t care, wanted robot on robot action.
Overall it wasn’t a bad movie, but I wasn’t happy with it. In all fairness, I wasn’t going into it with very high expectations given that it was directed by Michael Bay. My brother seemed to have loved it though, he bought it the day it came out on DVD. That said, check it out and see for yourself.
Final: 4/10
