In line with our other disagreement regarding female beauty I was disappointed by Davalos' casting as Andromeda because I don't think she is fetching enough for the role. IMHO the actress playing Io (Gemma Arteton - the erstwhile "Strawberry Fields" in "Quantum of Silence") is way prettier (and, the way the auteurs have bastardized the original story, you actually root for Perseus and Io to get together).
Davalos' casting is another example of the current filmmakers being "tone death" to the story. Andromeda has to be beautiful enough to offend the Gods. In the original "Titans," Judi Bowker was arrestingly comely in the Andromeda role. ~(no)rave! --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Keith Johnson <keithbjohn...@...> wrote: > > I hate to see Rave's review (which was great, Rave) that Alexa Davalos wasn't > used much.
