Review praises Clash of the Titans for spectacle and entertainment. Perseus, son of Zeus and a mortal mother, seeks to save Argos while Zeus and Hades scheme. The film leans on big battles and visual effects, culminating in the release of the Kraken.

Clash of the Titans review hints at goofy mythic spectacle
Roger Ebert endorses a campy revival of Greek myth as Perseus and allies invade Medusa’s lair. The tale features Pegasus flight, Andromeda peril, and a Kraken interlude. Faint praise for craft and energy, with light skepticism on cinema quality and acting.
