Clash of the Titans :: Original vs. Remake

The Difference:

The Class of the Titans is a classic 1981 movie having some of the best graphics at its time. The plot of the story has a lot of introduction compared to the remake version especially with the introduction of the man who lives in the abandoned theater. In the remake that character is represented as the fisherman who saved Perseus from the storm, but in the original version both Perseus and his mother survived the storm. This created a closer bond between Zeus and Perseus because they both loved Perseus's Mom or Zeus mistress very much. With that said taking that away, in the remake made Perseous more human and not giving him any ties with the gods. This conflict makes his adventure much more difficult then the original adventure because with the original adventure Perseus used all the gods gift making his conflicts less of a challenge. All in all the remake tried to stay with the originals plot, but faded away from it in certain scenes. Even with the obviously graphical differences both movies have their positive qualities that actually make it difficult to say which one is better.
