20100920:
My first impression of Clash of the Titans was that it had terrible dialogue. As the movie continued, my fellow viewers and I were only able to bear the movie by constantly commenting on how terrible it was. The voices were bad, the overly shiny armor was a strange decision, and the lack of character development was unfortunate.
I was particularly disappointed with the voice of Hades. Just because the character is evil, it doesn't mean he has to have a ridiculously hoarse voice. In contrast, Voldemort from the Harry Potter series has a hoarse voice which is suits the character. Speaking of which, just two more months until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part 1!
Getting back to Clash of the Titans, I also disliked the movie because it had an insufficient amount of fighting. In fact, I can only remember the fight against the scorpions, the fight against Calibos/Acrisius (Jason Flemyng), and then the final fight.*
I haven't seen many Greek mythology-based movies, but I know Disney's Hercules is much better than this movie.
*20191019: There's actually also the fight against Medusa (Natalia Vodianova)

I was looking through My List on Netflix today and this movie was on it. At that point I wondered if I had seen it. Looking here in my blog, apparently I did. I have no idea what it's about.
On 20191019, Netflix determined the movie for me as a 98% match.
20191028:
Today I decided to rewatch the film and in all fairness it wasn't as bad as my entry above would make it seem to be. I think all the above points are still valid to some extent.
Instant Comments:
2: Tragic (his family)
2: Uh... what? Andromeda hands Perseus the cup... Is it wrong for him to take it?
2: "Interesting." - Hades @ Perseus's ability to resist his power.
2: Nice little sparring lesson.
2: Pretty cool weapon.
2: Great. After a bunch of people die he finally embraces his demigod self.
2: "I'm a god! I will live forever." "But not here."
