The fact that it’s taken this long to bring my Clash of the Titans review to light should quickly expose an overview of my thoughts on the movie: it’s bad. While I’m a big fan of the original, I can easily see how there is plenty of room for a remake. The effects (classic Harryhausen effects that they are) don’t hold up well in the contemporary world. The music is cheesy.

Entering the domain of the war movie is tricky territory. No longer will the positive propagandist pictures of the past or the campy patriotic cheers be acceptable. Just as news coverage of war has gotten grittier and realistic over time, so too our movies have had to evolve.

My guess is that Avatar is going to rock, at least in the trailer department. Based on the number of awesome trailers that have hit the Internet over the past few days, I can only imagine what it’ll be like to sit through the trailers in front of Avatar.
