#Thief 1981 rotten tomatoes movie#

All of the classic literature components that can make an unforgettable classical adventure. After all, everything is portrayed in its most extreme side of its spectrum: love at first sight which passion surpasses all realms of realistic credibility, fearless men, unbelievable bravery. Acting is not the strong aspect here, no. Surprisingly enough, this feast for the eyes surpassed all of my personal expectations. The first significant Hollywood big-screen adaptation of the myth of Perseus is filled with visual mythological wonders and fantastic creatures: you will face the colossal might of the Kraken, you will fight giant scorpions, you will challenge Dioskilos (the two-headed dog), you will chase the Vulture flying on top of the wings of Pegasus, you will stare at the eyes of the Medusa and live to talk about it, you will see Sir Laurence Olivier as the most unfair motherfucker god of them all, the immortal Zeus, and you will find out that golden mechanical owls have the anatomical capacity to cough! Decent, but never good, Clash of the Titans is one of those movies that should have been very good, and it makes you wonder, if the project had a different director, would this have turned out differently? There are far better fantasy films out there than this one, and it's a shame that the film just fails to really enthrall the viewer. Yes, it's a big story, but it feels hollow and empty at times, and it's what brings the film down as well. I8f you're expecting a grand, epic movie, look elsewhere. At least a select few actors here can act, like Dame Maggie Smith, which I quite enjoyed here. At times the performances are overbearing, and it becomes a bit ridiculous. The film has its moments, but is also disappointing because it could have been much better. If you can manage 80's films that shows it age, then by all means, give Clash of the Titans a viewing. I just didn't think it was a great movie, as it is, it a decent picture that tries to be too ambitious, and in turn, it loses track of telling a richly detailed and wonderful story. Overall the film is decent at best, and it had the potential of being really good, unfortunately it never realizes, and it has too many shortcomings that make this a somewhat entertaining, yet very flawed movie.

The effects are quite good for its time, however like I said, this is a dated affair.

Despite the fact that it shows its age, it's still an entertaining movie that should appeal to genre fans. On the other hand, the cast do a good job in their performances.

Engaging action, fantasy, Clash of the Titans is a highly entertaining film, but it does have a significant flaw, and that is that it shows its age.
