Seriously, it's just embarrassing.
Just look at this goddamn mess. It's getting to the point where I just reflexively scoff as soon as I see the Legendary Pictures logo. Two trailers and it's already guaranteed to be a self-important mess of all style and no substance. The point of a trailer is to be tantalizing, to build up enough interest without giving away the whole movie. But this trailer has failed in that. It seems already defeated when that shiny beard guy yells "RELEASE THE KRAKEN" and all of a sudden ohhhhh nooooo loooooooook it's the kraaaaaaken it's so biiiiiiiiiiiiiig oh please enjoy this we spent ever so long on the CGI.
The whole point of the first Clash of the Titans was to be some good, lighthearted, campy fun. Ray Harryhausen, the master of claymation, poured endless hours into the effects because he loves what he does and because he wanted it to be fun. But this remake seems far too full of itself, far too convinced of its own worth, to be endearing. It reeks of desperation, of neediness. It seems like everything it shows me needs me to be entertained.
Of course, I have no problem with this being released by Legendary Pictures. After all, the point of many legends is to be cautionary tales.

Haha. I am glad someone is thinking about this movie the same way I am. I am predicting another 300: potent with over-done masculinity and up to the brim with borderline homosexual eroticses. A lot focus has been shifted over to CGI with disregard for the story and so everyone is remaking really shitty films to make them cool by adding computer animation and titties. I so agree man. This is really funny.
