Even Louis Leterrier said the 3D sucks.

So I just watched it last night.
I have to say going into it, my expectations were beyond low. But I guess when you go into a movie expecting utter, utter, crap, then you probably won't be disappointed. It seems as though Clash of the Titans is a really hard thing to screw up, but they did.
Things I loved:
*The Kraken was easily the best part of the movie for me and the only reason I'd have any hope if Louis Leterrier somehow ended up getting the director's chair for G2012.
*I overall thought the film was a visual treat, if not completely original. Mount Olympus was beautiful, the monster designs were really neat, and it was pretty neat to see people riding giant scorpions.
*I loved Liam Neeson's Zeus! It was perfectly hammy, every time Zeus spoke, I couldn't help but smile. If only the rest of the movie lived up to Liam's hamming.
*Most of the visual effects were top-notch. Pegasus and the Kraken looked especially good.
Things I Hated:
*I hated the tone! The writers and Leterrier took the material in the wrong, gritty, direction. The original Clash was a fun adventure story, not another cookie-cutter revenge movie. Had Perseus been made a bit more likable, and the tone more inline with Pirates of the Caribbean than I think that would've made a HUGE difference which brings me to my next point...
* We never come to like any of the characters. Perseus is just another "man with a vendetta" and Sam Worthington offers one of the most uninspired performances I have ever seen. We never spend any time with soldiers he fights alongside and thus feel nothing when they inevitably die.
*As it stands, the movie makes no sense from a plot standpoint which leads me to believe that either A) A lot was left on the cutting room floor, or B) They started shooting on an completely unfinished script. I have a tough time believing that a plot this incomprehensible was intentionally put on screen.
Overall I thought the movie was somewhat entertaining. Seeing Olympus was a treat, and the Kraken was a sight to behold. Beyond that though, the movie just falls flat.
