Nice. The more I hear about this movie, the more excited I get for it.

[Ari]

I hope they do it. Man, that could be great.

[Matt]

Only if it's in full-on 'Flash Gordon' mode. Please. PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE.

So did no one else go see this? I really enjoyed it. There was no pretense, no sweeping political or social commentary, just badass creature design, and some men on a mission. It seems like a lot of reviews have been beating the movie up for what it's not, instead of talking about what it is. I'm sorry, but the Bush administration is over people. We do not need to keep shoehorning in political undertones to every bit of escapist fantasy. Just sit back, enjoy the incredible cast (seriously, go check it out on IMDB, I was really impressed by everyone that is in this), and even more incredible creature design. The Djinn look like badmotherfuckers. I loved their "origin" in the film, and how they came to look like how they do. The only creature design I didn't love 100% was Medusa did look really plastic in some of the shots where she isn't as active, but the action sequence delivers.

The Gods are all killer. Hades' smokey surroundings and wings, Zeus' glinting armor, the floor of Olympus that is cloudy and made up of the earth below. The tiny one scene Gods played by great thespians (can Alexander Siddig please become a star?!). Just overall, ton of fun, with a cast that is elevating material with their skill.

really, really want to see this. In 2D. I just can't talk the wife unit into going and seeing it with me.

As to the reviews: it sounds like people who are seeing it in 3D are HATING it and people who are seeing it in 2D are kinda liking it.

[BillyG]

All the reviews from 3D showings have been piss poor. Really hoping this begins the death knell for shitty 3D. I'm making a point to go and see 2D screenings for several reasons, but the biggest being that 3D isn't really done that well most of the time and not worth an extra $4 per person at the box office.

I was supposed to see this yesterday, but something came up. I might check this out next weekend - always up for some horkin' big monsters and epic adventure. If 2D's the way to go for this, so be it.

[Abraham Smashington]

Rule of thumb: Just find out if the movie was shot in 3d or had it implemented during post-production. If it's post (like this) skip the 3d.

I saw this this past weekend (in 2-D). It's fun, but extremely dumb. Like, no plot and just moving from action scene to action scene dumb. It feels like there was a lot of character development cut out (or maybe it wasn't filmed in the first place). I love some of the designs (Mt. Olympus is great, love the kraken), I just wish there was more meat to it.

Also, did anyone else get the idea that they said "It would cost that much to make a God of War movie? That much?!? Well, how much is Clash of the Titans?"
