Although I appreciate the earnestness with which the makers of "Clash of the Titans" treat their remake of the 1981 stop-action mythological adventure, there's nothing about it to take seriously, except for some computer-generated imagery animation and special effects.
The original "Clash," the final feature film produced by special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen, was not much more than a silly B movie for young kids and teens starring Laurence Olivier as the Greek god Zeus and Harry Hamlin as the demigod Perseus, who challenges him and the other tenants of Mount Olympus.
