DevilSlayer34 T @RT78907242 Apr 4 This is in my honest opinion one of if not the best application of stop motion animation. This was the first Harryhausen film I saw with my dad. This the film that started my love for stop motion and if im honest made me into the film buff that i am. Im always supporting the use of practical effects and use of miniatures( if applicable) in film. I truly believe that this film nees to be an integral part of film history and should be studied for anyone wanting to make their own film l.

It’s pretty amazing what they were able to do at the time this came out. The effects are an easy standout. They can look a bit iffy at times, but this movie came out over 60 years ago. I’ve always been a big fan of Greek mythology, so it was really cool seeing that come to life on screen. My favorite scene was definitely the skeleton fight at the end. It has the best choreography and the best-looking effects in the movie. It sucks that this bombed when it came out, because it really feels like one half of a story that deserved a sequel. Still, it’s a fun and impressive adventure. See more JAMES B. @Briceman301 Jan 2 Magical and fun. The special effects and especially the stop motion animation stand the test of time.

See more David K @RT61474040 02/17/2025 Sure, the film is a little clunky by modern standards but it must be viewed within an historical context. The work by Ray Harryhausen is iconic and must-see for anyone interested in special effects in the period before computer technology was employed.

The film follows Jason, played by Todd Armstrong, as he leads a team of heroes on a quest for the Golden Fleece, battling everything from harpies to a towering bronze giant and, of course, the unforgettable skeleton warriors. While the acting, dialogue, and graphics are dated, the film's sheer creativity and epic scale make it a standout in the genre. It's a must-watch for fans of classic cinema and greek mythology. Common for the 60s, female characters like Medea, a powerful sorceress, are unfortunately watered down to one-dimensional eye candy without much agency in the story. See more Read all reviews
