Clash of the Titans (12a)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The week's other 3-D adventure swaps Vikings for the ancient Greeks, who have apparently become so uppity that Zeus (Liam Neeson) intends to make an example of them.
He allows his evil brother, Hades (Ralph Fiennes, surely auditioning for Fagin) to unleash the Kraken on the hubristic city of Argos, a calamity that can only be averted by demi-god Perseus (Sam Worthington) and his brave band of brothers – Mads Mikkelsen, Liam Cunningham, Nicholas Hoult and several other B-list actors you may recognise beneath the tans and the bad wigs. One or two setpieces briefly wake up the story – the visit to Medusa's cave, a parley with the three witches (isn't that Macbeth?) – but this is generally a hit-and-myth affair. As for Andromeda, the maiden Perseus must save from the monster, I still revere Judi Bowker in the 1981 original.
