Worst: Clash Of The Titans (2010)

…Unlike this dodgy millennium remake, which is just about the kitschiest thing rendered on celluloid since Flash Gordon. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes do a good job of tangoing about each other as sibling rivals, but the rest of the flick is hollow and charmless. Don’t even get us started on that rip off 3D.

Shame, Worthington had so much promise as a new action star. Here’s hoping he has the sense to bail on the proposed sequel before his fledgling career is put out to pasture.

      There is no way on Earth that Last Crusade is better than Raiders. The s**tness of the Crystal Skulls was creeping through in Crusade.. not good special effects.. terrible, terrible accents. Raiders had it all..

      You've missed a classic there, Ice-Cold in Alex, one if not the best sandy epics, I'd even got to say more so that Lawrence.

      I hate to sound like one of those annoying 12 yr olds who only care about action but here I am going to have to. The original Clash of the titans was a big pile of c**p. The new one was more entertaining and in my opinion a lot better. The only thing that was good about the original was the stop motion effects. But kudos for putting the first mummy up there

      Sorry, but how can you say Troy was c**p, yeah granted, bit bloated in places, but still a great film, me thinks you have a problem with admiting you like Mr Pitt, Just come out the closet son.

      I like The Mummy Returns. I liked all the back history that was shown. Yeah the CGI was silly at the end, but the story was everything it could have been for what the franchise was. If you are basing it on special effects, then I agree with that person up there with regards to the original Clash of the Titans. Or, you just really hate The Rock.
