Clash of Titans (2010)

IMDB

Thank God, its not another Percy Jackson!
For those who have seen the Percy Jackson and the Olympions: The Lightening Thief (TLT) would really appreciate the efforts put in this movie. Ti's almost 100x better than TLT.

Clash of Titans (COT) started with a very lame story but got a good grip when Perseus, son of Zeus and a demi-god himself (part god, part human), starts his quest to kill the Craken, a monster created by Hades (brother of Zeus and god of the Underworld). Thanks to a lot to superior graphics used for the movie, the fights look very good. Alas, TLT scored better in choosing Uma Thurman as the Medusa and COT casting director probably wanted low profile actors only.
Anyway, people who would see it in 2D would certainly be entertained far better than what I was after watching it in 3D. Had I not been wearing those pathetic 3D glasses it might have been a real good adrenaline dose! Oh lord Zeus, please help people devise new 3D hassle free technology where there is no burden of cheap and low quality products.

From Paris with Love (2010)

This is a fast/good paced action movie with no garbage at all.. everything is there that was intended to comprise the movie. And how can you miss John Travolta, of course i might have missed it for Jonathan Rys Meyers. It is good watch if you are in a mood for a `quick and good action`.

6/10.
Can't go up in the rating nor can I go down for this one.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

IMDB
"Wow .. another fantasy involving Gods (or to be more specific Demi-gods).." thats what I thought when I saw its trailer and then I waited till I got the movie in a good quality print. And guess what happens when I see it all the way till its end.. I was laughing at the way the director had shot the movie .. there was no trace of professionalism.. The movie outrightly lacked a thrill as if it was a B-grade movie.
The main reason for this is that though there were some real good scenes but they were probably treated more as space fillers than to really lead to some place. Actually, it appears to me that the director was thinking like- "see I could have made a better movie but since you have paid me less, feel satisfied with this much only". While watching the movie many times I was expecting a lot more but was served nothing. It was more like a fast spoon-feeding, you'll know it when you'll see it. And finally its a complete waste of the star cast it has.. though, some credit should be given for a very good casting.

Very reluctantly 6.5/10.

the 0.5 is for some good graphics in between.. especially for Hades, healing of Percy with water and the final water stunt by percy.

My Name is Khan

IMDB
Its a lovely movie by Karan Johar but that as***** still missed the potential of Shahrukh Khan and Kajol. (Or Shahrukh has become too rigid to break his own style). Kajol is as usual fresh and lovely. Whereas the direction was of some good quality I still found certain scenes which kept the movie below the mark. Nonetheless, this one is certainly worth watching.

7/10
