3-D Catch Up

I caught two 3-D flicks recently, heres some quick thoughts.

Clash Of The Titans

If you "have" to see this movie, watch it in 2-D because the 3-D was uglier to look at than my asshole. Anywho, the movie, well, it wasn't good. I don't get what's the big deal with this Sam Worthington (Terminator: Salvation sucked, Avatar was extremely overrated, and now this). I'll admit, he's not a terrible actor or anything, but when the fuck did this guy come in to big in huge blockbusters already? About the movie, there was too many plot holes when it came to the inconsistent references to Greek mythology. Its brief reference to the robot owl made me cringe in my seat. The CGI was bland, and it wastes it's talents. Neeson and Fiennes seemed wasted in their role. The scene with Kraken was boring, go watch the campy original instead.

Overall Grade: D

How To Train Your Dragon

It seems like Dreamworks is starting to take advice from Pixar in the storytelling department, since this is one is better than some of the recent Pixar flicks when it came to in-depth characters. The story formula is nothing new, but it was still a tad convincing. The 3-D is actually well-done (up par with Avatar in that department). The comedy was simply "meh", mostly jokes I've seen in every other kids movie. This movie could have been better if it didn't try to be funny.

Overall Grade: C+
