From what I've heard, it's another "all special effects/nothing else" movie that lacks the campy fun appeal of the original. No interest in seeing this one, but I might watch the old one again out of nostalgia.
The story would have been good if it wasn't based on anything. Since it was based on mythology it killed the movie.
I mean there were just so many things wrong with the story:
1. They made it seem like Perseus went on his adventure to get revenge on Hades for killing his family which never happened
2. The movie made it seem like Hades released the Kraken on Argos which never happened. It was Poseidon who released the Cetus on Argos.
3. Zeus and Hades never visited Perseus or anyone else. Perseus was given gifts by Hermes and Athena.
4. Io was never mentioned in the original myth and they made it seem like Perseus married her on the blessing of Zeus. Io was actually turned into a cow, and Perseus rescued and married Andromeda.
5. It wasn't the wife of Acrisius who was impregnated by Zeus. It was his daughter Danae and the prophecy said Perseus would kill Acrisius which is why she was cast out to sea.
There were so many other errors, but this movie was just pure garbage.
