The Gone With The Wind of stop-frame animation.

One of Ray Harryhausen's finest moments, the remarkable special effects are still pretty impressive even in today's CG-shaped world.

A great adventure movie... presents spectacle in the most wide-eyed, awe-inspired register.
April 07, 2014
"Jason and the Argonauts" features some of Harryhausen's most memorable stop-motion creations, including the giant bronze statue Talos and a creepy army of swordfighting skeletons.

All the fights are stunningly put together and still deliver in action terms. This may be an old story but it feels very much alive.

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

Made while Hollywood was plundering Roman history at vast expense, this British picture went further back in time and created a niche of its own.

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.

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.
January 07, 2016
Great old-fashioned fun, spiced with imaginative Ray Harryhausen's special effects.
June 24, 2006
Great fun, as these things go, with a Bernard Herrmann score to boot.

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.
