Hercules comes to life

Growing up with Hercules, I came to love ancient history, so it's no surprise that this post is on the original clash of the titans.  Don't worry, the remake will be watched later on, but I have to admit that when we were making this list we didn't realise that the 2010 version with Liam Neeson was a remake. My brother says that the original is better than the remake (which i find hard to believe as Liam Neeson rarely is involved in a bad film), but we'll see if he's correct.

So this is a very young Maggie Smith with a lot of names that I don't recognise. For those that don't know anything about it, it's about the story of Perseus, the mortal son of Zeus and how he has to battle Calibos (who was deformed by Zeus for destroying his winged horses excluding Pegasus) to save the world.
He has to fight the cracken, which he does and become a hero, which he also does.

It's not as exciting as 300 or Troy, but still easy to watch. Because it's so old, any sort of blood is clearly paint. It's well written and it's not a bad film, but it's certainly a dated film and not essential to your life. I enjoyed it and could easily watch it again.

I'm going to upload our film list, so that you can see which posts I have done and which posts should've been done and haven't.
