I wasn't expecting sublime artistry from the Clash of the Titans.

(Anyone who knew me when I was ages five to eight knows why I saw the remake.)

I wasn't expecting accuracy to Greek mythology - the original Clash of the Titans put the Greek myths in a cinematic blender, set it to purée, and threw in a half dozen Shakespeare plays, and Godzilla

"But I also wasn't expecting a two-hour lecture on atheism that could've been ghostwritten by Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens. "

Thanks for the warning. That is what I was afraid of from watching the previews.

I've been reading the Percy Jackson novels and quite enjoying their take on Greek mythology.

I've only read two so far. I'm not a huge fan of YA novels, but they're good with the gods...

...except Dionysus. His Dionysus is way off-base.

Come on, tell us how you REALLY feel. :P

I felt it deserved a skewering. If it had been a silly comedy like the original, I wouldn't have bothered. But this thing really thinks it's Sending A Message(TM), so it needed to be brought down a peg.
