Lets not get into the overall movie ratings okay? It was a masterpiece. Olivier, Hamlin, Meredith, the cast was wonderful. The special effects, beautiful.
But I want to go into this tale of favoritism among the Gods of Olympus.
The Kraken, the huge monster that destroyed cities, only did his job under Poseidon's command. The Gorgons were cursed by circumstances beyond their control by Athena. The two-headed dog protected the Gorgons. Sure, Calibos was wrong to hunt in sacred grounds, but Zeus and the Gods could have warned him more. He was the greatest victim of this movie, and that was not fair at all. Thetis and Hera may have seemed like villainous Goddesses, but their loyalties to Zeus were never appreciated. Thetis, more than Calibos, was the greater victim.
Perseus was the most horrible monster! Sure, he was used by the Gods, especially by Thetis, who put him in danger to repay Zeus' petty selfishness, but Perseus should have found better ways to end the conflicts between Joppa and Calibos. He didn't. That made him no better than Zeus, the king of the Gods who by no means deserved that honor.
I was so furious at how the so-called heroes mistreated Thetis. It would have been better off to base this movie on the true myth of Perseus, who was forced by a cruel king to fetch Medusa's head.
