Clash of the Titans
A classic tale of good verses evil, but with tons of intense fight
scenes and high action shots. Sam Worthington plays Perseus, the son
of Zeus. Zeus is played by Liam Neeson. Clash of the Titans is one
of many excellent
Warner Brothers action flicks you'll want to see. The movie is
directed by Louis Leterrier. The movie cost nearly $125 million to
make and brought in about $61 million on its opening weekend. The
current gross on the movie is estimated at about $163 million, so
the movie did make money, although perhaps not enough to measure up
to the huge cost of making the film. |
