"Is that Clash yet?"

Yay! Clash of the Titans! But I'm a little uncertain about the description of the plot--Hades trying to take over the world. I mean... Hades wasn't really a bad guy in the Greek tales, was he? Not that I remember. He was just the god who ruled the underworld.

What's wrong with the good old fashioned love story, hero journey, and bickering between jealous gods? I don't seem to be alone--the comments on youtube are all "hope they didn't change the plot, just updated the effects." But to be fair, it looks like a lot of key scenes and creatures are in it.

And really, it will be hard to ruin this. It looks awesome. :-)

I pity the fool who remakes this movie without a mechanical owl!

Lol, that looks kind of awesomely cheesy.

And yeah, Hades was one of Zeus' bros, and aside from kidnapping Persephone, not really big on the whole world domination racket.
