Clash of the Titans

Okay, so, I'm back! Yay, bet you're all so excited. anyway, on my travels, I saw this movie, so I decided I should review it.
In ancient Greece, on a stormy sea, a fisherman sees a coffin floating in the sea, when he hauls it up on deck, inside he finds a dead woman, clutching an infant boy, who is still alive. The fisherman decides to adopt the boy, who he names Perseus. Perseus's life is going pretty well in life, until when out fishing, his family's boat is destroyed by the Greek god of the underworld, Hades. Perseus, the only survivor, washes up in the city of Argos, and from then on his only goal is to join the people of Argos in their struggle against the cruel and merciless gods. He and several others go on a journey to find the Witches, who will tell them how to defeat the gods' greatest weapon, a creature named the Kraken. On this journey, Perseus learns to fight, slays titanic monsters, falls in love, and learns the secret of his true family.

Clash of the Titans ( named after the 80's hit) has everything that a modern movie requires. Lots of action scenes, romance, and a relatively stable plot combine to make this a truly epic film. My personal views ( and I'm sure that many will agree with me), are that it was a decent movie, but they could have been a little more accurate on some of the Greek mythological facts. That alone tortured me throughout the entire movie, though that's probably because I am the ultimate Greek mythology nerd. Overall, however, I would give it a solid 3 stars, 4 if I knew nothing about Greek myths, for good acting, great special effects, and sweet action scenes. And lastly, to all you parents out there, it earns its PG-13 rating, but it's not horrible.

Avatar

Looks like I'm finally getting around to reviewing something again! It's been awhile, but I'm back...finally. But I digress. Time to review Avatar!
In the distant future, Humanity has spread throughout the galaxy, to a planet called Pandora, where they mine for a substance called "Unobtainium". The indigenous people of the planet, a species of aliens called the Na'vi, are less than pleased that the " Sky People" are taking over their world, resulting in tension between the humans and the Na'vi. Trying to ease the tension, a group of scientists discover a way to transport their consciousness into Na'vi-like bodies, or "Avatars", and learn their language to try to breed understanding between the two races. A scientist who was meant for the job was killed in a battle on Earth, and so he was replaced by his twin brother, ex-Marine Jake Sully, even though he is paralyzed from the waist down. In his Avatar form, he blunders into the jungles of Pandora, finds love and friendship, and ultimately makes an unchooseable choice. In addition to astounding special effects, colorful language, and a very James Cameron-esque budget, Avatar has captivated the modern audience so thoroughly that it would seem G.I. Joe was ancient history.

Despite all of my usual prejudices against action flicks, I'd have to praise this one for actually having a clear plot line, as well as good special effects. All in all, I'd give it a solid 4 star review. Well, ta-ta for now, and happy moviegoing!
