Clash of the Titans raked in the dough over the weekend, biggest Easter opening ever and all that. Critics didn’t much like it but there were plenty of fantasy fans who had a great time at the movies. Interestingly, Clash generated a lot of talk in movie land about the wisdom of 3-D conversions; this one started out in 2-D but was converted by the studio to take advantage of the technology’s current popularity. And generate box office, since 3-D screens charge more. But Kenneth Turan, the best known film critic at the LA Times, griped in his review that “Clash of the Titans is the first film to actually be made worse by being in 3-D.” And Louis Leterrier, who directed Clash, groused on Yahoo that the conversion wasn’t his idea.
Never mind. The film made money and that’s what the studios are in business to do. And people are buying the higher priced tickets, either not knowing or not caring that the 3-D they’re experiencing isn’t the best. Hey, it’s Clash of the Titans people, this audience is looking for fun, not art.

Big action movies mostly bore me so I will not see this one! I am excited for Kick-Ass though.
Except Iron Man II on TheReelFan's birthday. I am actually excited for that.
