See, my whole issue with "Clash of the Titans" remake is the special effects. I -love- Harryhausen's work on the original, and I just know in this one they're going to CGI it all to hell (or rather, the Underworld).
Speaking of: what is with making Hades the bad guy? Yes, he ruled over the Greek version of Hell, but that does not a villain make. I mean, if you really want to get into it, of the Greek pantheon he was one of the fairest rulers, and one of the few that was faithful to his spouse (don't get me started on Leuke, a lot of scholars think she predated Persephone, and Minthe was just a Roman invention).

Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now, I promise.
