Some girls play hard to get and become immortal hotties who cavort with Sam Worthington. Medusa also spurned the advances of a god ( hat tip), and wound up being violated, turned into a cross between Grendel and his mother from the 2007 Beowulf, and exiled to the realm of the dead.

#Clash of the titans 2010 full movie movie#

(The original film had a Bond girl too, Ursula Andress as Aphrodite, but the movie knew she was out of PerseusвЂ™s league.)ДЄlthough not a demigod, Io is cursed with immortality for spurning the advances of a god. This time out, Perseus's female companion is a woman named Io, played by Gemma Arterton ( Quantum of Solace). In the original Clash, PerseusвЂ™s mission was both a heroic quest and a romantic one he was out to save the woman he loved. One of the new ClashвЂ™s worst moves is sidelining the KrakenвЂ™s designated victim, the princess Andromeda, who is no longer PerseusвЂ™s companion and love interest. If the defeat of the Kraken is taken straight from the original Clash, at least both versions of Clash realize that defeating the Kraken is an important event that ought to be in the actual movie. (The Kraken appears courtesy of Davy Jones and the East India Company.

Releasing the Kraken is a gambit to strengthen Hades against Zeus, enabling him to escape the underworld and seize Olympus for his own. In reality, HadesвЂ™ goal is not menвЂ™s love but their fear, which feeds him as devotion sustains Zeus. (Switching up Fiennes and Neeson might have been an interesting move.) Hades (Ralph Fiennes, working hard to make his balding god of the underworld as different as possible from his signature baldy from hell, Voldemort) plays Zeus like a lyre, persuading him that releasing the Kraken on the uppity citizens of Argos - who are withholding prayers and worship like an unwelcome tax - is a good way to get the love flowing heavenward again. The gods, meanwhile, warn one another that the human rebellion must be suppressed before it gets out of hand men must be punished and reminded of their place. The men continually tell one another that this arrangement benefits the gods much more than it does the humans, and itвЂ™s high time for men to rebel against the gods, throw off the yoke of servitude, and take their fate into their own hands. Over and over, from the opening voiceover onward, weвЂ™re told how the gods (specifically Zeus) made mankind selfishly, to bask in and draw strength from their prayers and adoration. Clash of the Titans goes further: The gods arenвЂ™t just ignored, theyвЂ™re all but dethroned. Troy retold one of the best-known Greek myths as a purely human story, leaving out the gods. Clash of the Titans takes the secularizing bent of the 2004 film Troy a step further.
