But Mads Mikkelsen (not to be confused with Michael Madsen) was excellent.

Like that would ever happen - Mads Mikkelsen can act ;)

If you have a chance to see the deleted footage you'll realise that the film that people spent all that time working on never saw the light of day - and the film you [and I] wasted two hours on was born in the editing room.

It's a real shame to see they actually filmed scenes with the other gods and especially Apollo only to replace him with Zeus later on.

Despite the MANY chop / change moments that basically neutered this adventure there were some just plain BAD ideas inserted.

I mean, who was the asshat who decided to take the king [Acrisius] and the malevolent Calibos and merge them into a single character?

We shouldn't have needed Io [Gemma's character] to connect the disjointed dots for us.

And then of course Io tells us that living forever is a curse - so what's her happy ending? - to CONTINUE living forever.

Gotta agree with all you and others have said, in the end it was a complete waste. - the real sting coming from paying an extra 5 bucks for the most flat / boring / uninspired 3D I've ever witnessed.

Hate to harp on but the movie is just so disappointing, it really could / should have been an epic.
