It's Evil, pure and simple Evil. Why they can't stick to History or Mythology, or even stay close to the books the movie is supposed to be based on, and just play with the visual? Those that did that became classicals: Ben Hur, Caligula and 300 will be forever remembered, while this Clash of Titans (like the previous) will be thrown in the trash.
