Rehash of the 80's flick. In the time of the Greeks the people of Argos are haughty and thumb their noses at the gods. In this version Hades is loosed upon the city, and demands the life of the princess or the destruction of Argos. I liked this version, my biggest gripe being it was too short, could have used another 30 minutes. Be that as it may, once the action starts it doesn't stop till the movie ends. Very cool Medusa, shame we didn't get to see more of her. Calibos is hideous and driven. Some changes are made to the storyline giving this version a more meaty feel. For fans of the genre definitely worth your while, for everyone else not a bad choice at all, compare to Beowulf or Pathfinder.
I watched the original (again) before I watchded the remake. I was actually scared of Medusa as a child due to the original. Now with technology, it almost seems comical.
