Special-effects buffs generally cite this 1963 effort by Ray Harryhausen as the master's masterpiece, and his work does a great deal to enliven the tired plot and vacuous stars.

For sheer old-fashioned, childhood rekindling adventure you really can't go past it.
November 27, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
The $3 million film has a workable scenario and has been directed resourcefully and spiritedly by Don Chaffey, under whose leadership a colorful cast performs with zeal.

Great fun, as these things go, with a Bernard Herrmann score to boot.

This absurd, unwieldy adventure -- if that's the word -- is no worse, but certainly no better, than most of its kind.

The straight story of Jason's exploits, told with magic and imagination and a minimum of studio trickery, might have been delightful. This version is more bull than Bulfinch.

Jun 07, 2015campy and ahead of its time, if you can ignore the special effects which were brilliant at the time, you'll find a film that still puts most of todays action films to shame.Brendan N Super Reviewer

Feb 20, 2013You can like it but those claymation monsters prevent you from loving it too much. Silliness brings it up to a three star. Silliness prevents it from going further.John B Super Reviewer

Sep 18, 2011The special effects in this film sure are innovative, it kind of reminded me of Clash of the Titans (the original - not the shitty remake), but this film is far superior.Dillon L Super Reviewer
