And there's certainly something elemental about a Greek myth.

Yes, I know what you mean.
Hokahey,...Anonymous,<br /><br />Yes, I know what you mean. <br /><br />Hokahey,<br /><br />Thanks for the comment. I like the way the Kraken stirs up quite a bubble bath in that cove. <i>Clash of the Titan</i> doesn't seem tied to anything beyond a basic urge to supply the viewer with many CGI creatures and fight scenes. I noticed in the theater that mostly people in their 20s and 30s were watching. As they comfortably settled in, I wondered--are these the CGI spectacle moviegoers? What kind of atavistic impulse is at work here? I also wonder what this kind of film has to say about the state of masculinity and heroism today. Worthington comes across as a cheerful but inexpressive frat boy, dutiful enough, but lacking the range of a younger Mel Gibson. Likably blank, he may be designed to not upstage any of the monsters.The Film Doctor https://www.blogger.com/profile/03073505923746994988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704583061723470804.post-76654130543367061242010-04-06T19:52:10.324-04:002010-04-06T19:52:10.324-04:00You already know I enjoyed this movie - even while...You already know I enjoyed this movie - even while I see its many loopholes in logic. It kind of bothers me when a huge monster can be totally submerged in any body of water - the Kraken in a small cove in Greece - (and the monster in <i>Cloverfield</i> in the East River). But I guess anything can happen in a Greek myth.Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704583061723470804.post-68180649807590941562010-04-06T14:11:15.059-04:002010-04-06T14:11:15.059-04:00I can't get enough of the Kracken releasing.I can't get enough of the Kracken releasing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
