Sam Worthington was the wrong person to play Perseus in this awful remake. He is wooden and has no screen presence but worst of all why did he keep his hair like that? All the other actors made an effort to look the part, but he looked like a modern soldier who had been sent back in time. Added to that the fact that his accent was clearly Australian or New Zealand, ( I don't care which ) he really stood out for all the wrong reasons in my opinion. The CGI was outstanding but the sequences themselves surprisingly boring. I didn't care about the outcome too much and the only one that was remotely good was the Gorgon sequence near the end. A lot of the monsters were over done, especially the scorpions, it was a bit unbelievable that they could have been so easily defeated. The way the story was shown in this remake also lacked humour apart from the golden owl send up ( always hated that owl in the original anyway ) But as I said the main failing was Sam Worthington's totally unbelievable performance. This could have been a better film with a stand out character in the lead role.
