Jason and the Argonauts

Jason (Todd Armstrong) sets sail with his crew to find the Golden Fleece. Along the way they do battle with a giant metal man, "crashing rocks", two harpies, a many-headed animal and fight SEVEN skeletons. Ray Harryhausen's special effects are the only reason to see the movie. The script is somewhat literate but boring, the acting is pretty bad (although some people were dubbed over) and it goes all over the place. But when Harryhausen's creations are on-screen, the movie is fantastic. They're all stop motion which I prefer over the too perfect CGI that's used all the time today. The fight against the skeletons especially is impressive. I also enjoyed the bickering between gods Hera (Honor Blackman) and Zeus (Niall MacGinnis) who act as a Greek chorus. Personally I found the film too child-like to truly enjoy but it's worth catching at least once.
