I absolutely loved that this was not the typical hero-gets-the-princess movie. The original movie had its charm, but I always thought it was a bit too cheesy that Perseus got mostly into all that trouble just to get his beloved Andromeda.
I really enjoyed this remake and appreciated that the script was updated. The story no longer follows the fairytale formula. The hero wasn't fighting because he had fell in love with the princess. Nope. He had deeper motives for fighting. He was in deep pain and wanted revenge. Not because he couldn't resist Andromeda's beauty. Plus, it was a great twist for the story that there was different love interest for Perseus.
