This, or Clash of the Titans?


And you can choose which Titans film you want to reference, the original, or the remake.

All 3 are pure cheese, except for Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion animation in the first Clash. The man was a genius.

They all have mythological gods kicking the shit out of each other, and worse.

They all have protagonists being acted by TV personalities, save for Geoffrey Rush.

They all assume the audience is dumber than piss and has no idea—nor cares about—Egyptian or Greek mythology.

I chose Clash, because (1) Egypt produced no playwrights, nor a culture that was not barbaric, and (2) Greece is the cradle of civilization and (3) Ray Harryhausen was a genius, the likes of whom most of you who are reading this cannot fathom.

“OMG! That’s so, like, Old School!”

Absent Old School as a foundation, Princess, you would have no school today at all.

Clash of the Titans only in that it was a slightly better made movie and the action's more entertaining.

This!

This movie is unintentionally hilarious, or maybe not completely unintentionally hilarious, while "CotT" is just dull.

hmmmm. The new Clash is technically a better movie, but i'm going say I prefer Gods here just cause Butler is so entertaining. Jaimie Lannister is also a way better actor than Worthington.
