Lack of character ruins movie

Louis Leterrier has been accustomed to making action films in his short career, and ‘Clash of the Titans’ is no exception. The movie begins by taking viewers into the history of the universe, and in a cool CGI shot portrays the story of the gods overthrowing the Titans through nebulas in the constellations.

Zeus then makes man, who feeds Zeus’ immortality through their prayers. But when man rebels against the gods, Zeus sees no alternative other than to allow his brother, Hades, to destroy the city Argos, the main city of the

Rebellion, with the Kraken. Perseus, who learns he is a demigod, son of Zeus, leads a campaign to find a way to destroy the Kraken, who is the creation of the evil god Hades.

The movie is rich with action...

The author of the book, Ted Dekker, exclaimed that this book would not only be that last book in the Circle series, but also the first book in the trilogy. New readers of the series are encouraged to start with Green, but, I feel that this is a horrible idea, and that beginners...
