One of the things that I prefer in this remake rather than the original is that it got rid of the backstory for Perseus. Yes, this makes it so that it doesn't connect you with Perseus as much but that hour of boredom that was in the original was just that, boring. This film completely skips Perseus growing up on the island, transporting to Joppa, meeting Andromeda and acquiring Pegasus. This film dives straight into the action, where Perseus embarks upon his quest to find a way to kill the kraken. The basic premise of the story is the same, with a small twist. The tension between Hades and Zeus is added in as a subplot here. As expected, this remake relies heavily upon special effects. The animation of the monsters are well done for the most part but they obviously look fake. However, since they're computer animated, this means that the monster fights scenes are much more exciting and dynamic. I wished they could have kept the part about how Perseus captures Pegasus since in this film, it just appears and helps Perseus. The original story takes a backseat since Andromeda is now regulated as a minor character, and they added in Io, which I thought was weird. I also liked how it wasn't overly long and it was interesting enough so that the film passes by quickly.
