I find myself looking more at the scenes in the original. Despite lesser quality effects, they're more appealing to look at for some reason.

Ray Harryhausen one of the greatest stop motion animator in the history RIP 1920-2013

in the 1981 version, Medusa is a thousand times scarier. In the 2010, she’s just a video game.

The 1981 version is a perfect example that sometimes, less is more.

Where they screwed up in the remake was when Medusa's head in the hands of perseus comes to life only for a few seconds only when facing the kraken and then goes flat. In the original version Medusa's head comes to life and stays alive until the kraken is fully turned to stone and is dead

The 1981 has a advantage with the lesser effects. Since the effects were so limited each scene looked more realistic.

I am surprised that no-one mentions that the 1981 Perseus and Andromeda were more striking looking, and dressed better.

The 1981 Medusa is so much better, looks scarier and builds tension instead of just being another generic monster that needs slaying

The 1981 film photography is far superior to the remake. Wider camera shots and lighting make the film look more epic.

1981 is a classic adventure movie with some incredible stop motion effects and is overall more well made. The monsters on the 81 version genuinely scared me as a kid. 2010 is a popcorn movie that's not exactly groundbreaking in any way, but still entertaining nonetheless. It has that "cool, but cheesy action flick" sort of vibe that you just feel like watching every now and again. 1981 is obviously the better movie, but 2010 is decent too. Both can be enjoyed for their own reasons. Depends on what you feel like watching; a timeless classic, or a cheesy blockbuster?

Ray Harryhausen is such a legend. May rest in peace.

The 1981 version is way better. Plus the cast is more attractive. 😍😍😍 And the Madusa scene was so much better

I feel like the remake was just done for the sake of having a remake in existence. They did even fix what they got wrong about the myths in the original plot wise. If anything they made it worse

When you realize too many CGI kills the soul of a movie. Medusa is the best example, she's so weird and so frightening in the 1981 movie. 😱

This is like comparing a juicy lean steak (1981) to a McDonalds cheeseburger (2010)

I enjoyed the remake but NOTHING tops the Harryhausen classic. So much love and so much magic. One of the things I did like in the remake was Medusa's design. I love the beautiful face turning scary when she turns people to stone. But the 1981 version was much scarier.

I would love to know what Harry Hausen would think of the 2010 remake.

The remake has the best visual effects ever but lacks the soul and storytelling of the original

The 1981 version, I saw in a theater. It was epic and entertaining throughout. The 2010 version is totally forgettable. In one hundred years, the 1981 version will be an artistic classic. The 2010 version will be an asterisk footnote.

I watched the original when I was a kid old is golden in my eyes

Having seen both when they were in theaters, I found the 1981 Medusa scene much more memorable than its counterpart. I knew the original mythology, even as a kid.....but I gave credit to how they changed her and portrayed her actions. Medusa was shown as a true monster....not a some girl abusing the power she had. A true monster is grim, cold and calculating......not emotional and irrational. It matches the reptilian body they gave her. "You see, Miss 2010 Medusa.....just because you ARE a character, does not mean that you HAVE character." So that is the main reason I like the 1981 version. The most frightening creature in all of greek mythology is portrayed adequately enough, if somewhat inaccurately. Would have preferred the scales, brazen wings, brazen claws.......and the TWO sisters just like her. Yes, they fly. Gorgons....plural.

I like original medusa she was scary looking

Both have their pros and cons

Great video

I think 1981 ray's kraken is better than 2010, thus i like 1981 movie version much better overall than 2010🙊

When you have no idea about the original movie you are remaking. I watched the 1981 version when I was a Kid and I still prefer it.

For me the soundtrack in the 1981 medusa scene is better than the 2010 one but the 2010 kraken soundtrack is better the 1981 one, even so I love them both.

2021: 40th Anniversary of Clash of the Titans 1981 (1981-2021) 11th Anniversary of Clash of the Titans 2010 (2010-2021)

The soundtrack in the remake is so damn epic, such an underrated film

This is what happens when too much CGI completely overwhelmed the storyline. The most obvious example is Perseus vs Medusa. Medusa is supposed to be a hideous monster and a quick glance will be fatal. The 1981 version captured the description accurately. In addition, you can see how terrified Perseus in preparing for the kill when he pulled out his sword. The remake was just showing unnecessary rage and too much action.

U did great job

One screen shows a great movie with great effects... the other has Sam Worthington trying to be 300.

The old is a classic you need to own this movie 👍 and the new one

The old version has its creepy vibe, the new one is common

The 1981 version is so much better than the 2010 one.

The 1981 Clash of the Titans is underrated - it was less campy and more conservatively played, and more Shakespearean looking than the earlier films from the 50s, 60s and 70s, and it dos a fine job of exploring the themes of Greek Mythology (especially the fickle and trivial nature of the Gods and the way they play with the mortals like toys!) which many will recognise if they've read Classical Literature. The music score is amazing too, and gives the film a classic feel. I think where this film has an edge over earlier Harryhausen films is it is very story driven - I felt with some of the earlier films that the story was just filler to get onto the next monster, and that the actors were playing second fiddle to the effects. I felt with Clash of the Titans the opposite, that the monsters were there to bring to life all the things we were hearing about throughout the film, and they blended in much better to the story instead of being there just because. I think where the original doesn't hold up so well in places is some of the background acting, the extras seem incredibly static at times and a little restrained in their reaction to things. A few of the performances from fine actors like Tim Piggot-Smith are a little restrained at times also, but these are only minor nitpicks.

Bravo 👏 👍

Seen bpth films in the big screen... the original version when i was in high school as part of a school trip to the movies and we had to write a movie review as part of our english subject... the 2010 version when I was already working in Dubai . I enjoyed both fim versions watching them from 2 different point of views as a young student and later as an adult .

As a kid, whatever scares you will always be memorable to you up till the day you died. One good example is the medusa in 1981 version. One look at her eyes and you will be forever stoned by her beauty, as though she has cast a spell on you.

1981 / Classic.

I enjoyed the 2010 Clash of the Titians. But there isn't a single memerable line or person from it. Professor magonigal came from that wonderful 81 classic I think she was Hera if I'm not mistaken. A point I noticed that none of the female goddesses had any major role in the new one or speaking parts like the original. I could be wrong but what do I know.

Maybe you could do one for Metropolis (the 1927 silent film) and Metropolis (the 2001 anime)? There are several homage shots in the latter.

My Pros and Cons of both Versions of this Classic ! >> The Medusa of the 1981 version was Way more scarier compared to the 2010 version. That was hands down obvious. >> One Additional scene which was on the 1981 version not shown in this video was the Curse of Athena statue's head. THAT was so awesome as well. Hades curse in the 2010's version was not as commanding as the one in the 1981 Athena Statue Heads version. >> The scorpion attacks are better in the 2010 version tho compared to the stop motion of the 1980's version. I loved the 2010's Scorpions. That was done right. >> in the 2010's version Introducing a new character, which looked like GROOT's Mage cousin, that was good. Mads Mikkelsen's character here was also good. >> The Gods actors in the 2010 actually had too low focus. For instance you have the likes of Liam Neeson as Zeus and Hades. But there was also Luke Evan's character as Apollo which was TRULY super under utilized. Wished HE would've been there in the sequels. >> The Gold Robotic OWL in the 1981 was cute and adorable character. Again was under utilized in the 2010's version was just made a cameo appearance as a tribute homage. >> The Charron (Death Incarnate looking Boatman) from the 1981 version looks so menacing and desolate compared to the 2010 version, that looked like it came out straight from the Pirates of The Caribbean movies. >> But I have to admit, the KRAKEN from the 2010's version WAS a lot more better compared to the choppy stop motion 1981's version. And off course that LEGENDARY line by Liam Neeson ZEUS - RELEASE THE KRAKEN... now that WAS awesome actually ! >> Overall : The 1981's version was made for a more classic ala Ten Commandments style of filming. It did have that Classic Greeco / Roman style to it. However, in the 2010's version was Highly modernized and made to look like its a made for PC RPG game though. Acting was mostly Dry, on BOTH versions of the films. Sam Worthington is a good actor, just SURE wished to see MORE sides and appear more 3 Dimensional in his character rather than the Stoic, vengeful, quiet type. >> And there is a VERY big difference in the story. The original 1981 version was Following the Legendary Greek storyline which is based on the Star Constellation of Perseus and Andromeda. In the 2010's version, Andromeda was reduced into JUST a Maid in peril. They DID not dwell much on the romantic interest. In fact in this Version Perseus DID NOT have a GREAT need to save Andromeda in the first place ! which sucks big time at least.

The 1981 version of the Kraken looks more like Godzilla.

It's the 1981 original for me and none other. Whoever thought up the idea of a remake should have had the Medusa head turning him to stone

orales, una genuialidad!

Both are good

awesome vid bro -- 1981 version knocks it out of tha park

I like both but i Can see why the original is superior in very visual aspects I think the strong point of the new one is the beast designs While different you can’t deny they have their own charm, with Medusa and the kraken being the biggest changes The original for the most part tried to be more simple and straight forward while the remake more detailed, this doesn’t work in some cases but some creative visuals like this one 1:55 show the movie got too much hate The effects mostly aged amazingly with the flying scenes being the only ones being a bit rough around the edges But back to the monster designs, I like both kraken and Medusa designs since both show two separated ideas, original being more similar to how Greek portrayed their monsters visually while the new tried to appeal more to their modern portrayals Kraken being a octopus like creature while Medusa seems to take more from her “cursed version” while the old one seems inspired by her “born has a monster” version and I personally like both The slow motion isn’t great and doesn’t help at all most of the scenes it’s used But the most notable differences I noticed is how focused, grey and crowded the remake feels like in 0:54 3:43 and 1:02 This scenes feel too charged with details and doesn’t let us analyze well what’s happening, seeing them walk out of the boat in the mist with a almost monochrome scene is better at taking the audiences attention The remake isn’t the worse but sometimes less is more and that’s something the remake should have known, the only part I can say it worked was with Medusa with how she showed more emotions and expressions which fit the “cursed” version they were using of her

The first is the best, the other is a roller coaster ride !

81 version is better from all aspect....

I would like to see a Side-By-Side Comparison of The Wolf Man.

Both were good

My favprote part is of course the encounter with Medussa

1981 win for ever

This movie came out when I was 11 and I can honestly say that the remake is junk!! Yes, CGI makes it look nice I guess but the original is just an awesome movie that should have never been remade! The intensity of the '81 movie is what really makes this movie so great. This is a classic just like Sinbad and should never be tampered with!!

I prefer the original. It's dated and special effects can be laughable but the atmosphere is so unique, that the remake couldn't replicate it.

And Peter Jackson really good creating CGI

That green fluorescent light is more awesome

Pqp mais um vídeo foda!

If the remake didn't have soo many favourite actors with Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton and my new actors I found out after release of this movie - Nicholas Hoult, Luke Evans or Kaya Scodelario I'd never have any kind of interest in it. Maybe I'd love it more if I watched it before watching 1981's one but the original is still better and I watched it just because they said it was that good.... and it was......especially the medusa scene is more awesome in the original I was really scared the first time.....they really gave their everything into the original movie.... only visual effects (and acting ofcourse) are really great in it's remake.

Quando eu tinha 9 anos, eu assisti O filme de “Fúria de Titãs” (1981) no Netflix em 30 de julho de 2013 quando eu tinha 14 anos, Eu assisti O filme de remake de “Fúria de Titãs” (2010) no Netflix em 1 de Agosto de 2018

Pls Do Mortal Kombat (1995/2021): Side-By-Side Comparison Pls?

In terms of casting, Sam Worthington's Perseus could've been played by any of the dozens of good looking actors in Hollywood. Harry Hamlin was more distinctive looking and memorable.

Please do Alexander movies 1956 vs. 2004 side by side

40 anniversary of the original movie

watching the 2010 version and seeing Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes together, I immediately thought of Oscar Schindler and Amon Goeth from Schindler's List

Give me the 1980s version anyday

I understand the hate the 2010 Clash of the Titans movie gets, but you gotta admit, 2012 Wrath of the Titans was one of the best sequels in cinematic history.

The 1981 Clash of the Titans is visually more appealing than the remake!

How r they all made?

81 ❤

Loved the 2010 one

Can you cover Superman 1 and superman returns side by side

People always complaint 😂😂😂

These soilders are ganna to the coffin dance

The kraken case in interesting as both are good designs The 2010 one works better as typhon in my pov however

The classic had a much fuller plot. A far better film.

1981 is more tame and realistic. No fancy cgi or costumes

both have their own strengths and weaknesses.... id argue the costume and creature designs in the remake are better than the original however the original has the better plot and fight scenes

1981 is the best.

I recently watched the 1981 version again after not seeing it for years and it bored me. I felt it was too long. There were some things I prefer in 1981 one but I like the newer one more. Nice video regardless.

why does 2010 zeus look more like odin?

I want to see the remake of the remake

For some reason the 1981 Medusa looks better than the 2010 version.But the 2010 Kraken does look better than the original version so that's hard to compare the 2.

I prefer the Original but I love 2010 version

The only good parts in the remake are the fighting moments

Peter Jackson would make the definitive version. The originals effects haven't aged well and the remakes effects have the typical videogame look that plagues so many films these days.

And, in the "original version" WHERE IS Io??? 😲😲😲

that of 1981 is better, actors, director, closer to the reality of history.

It's an insult to compare the 2010 to the 1981, old school is the best school.

1981 by far!

Oh no they didn't 🤦🏾‍♀️ and don't even get me started on Planet of the apes 🖐🏾 The OG is usually ALWAYS the best. Rip Charlton Heston 🙏🏾

That tine Jim Morrison chopped off medusa's head.

Ramin Djawadi Composed Game Of Thrones.

2010 is kinda siccess because it retells 1981 story..same storyline, with different graph. but they went with Wrath of the Titans, great CGI but lack storytelling...

Always thought the original came out in the 60's :O

I would love to see a true parallel remake of the 1981 classic. 2010 was not. It just needs better direction. Just my $0.02.

Indiscutivelmente o titãs de 1981 é ensuperavel . Muito melhor. Sem falar que o Perseu de agora tá mais para Spartacus que para Perseu. 😂

The 1981 sword of Perseus is badder than the 2010 sword of Perseus.
