Rating: 8 out of 10, the signature Harryhousen movie for my generation. There’s not a single boy who grew up in the 1960’s who didn’t marvel at this movie. Seeing the giant brass man Talos, the seven headed hydra, and most especially the army of skeleton warriors was like seeing old friends. The movie takes serious liberties with the Jason legend but there’s some serious fun in this pure escapist fare. While Harryhousen’s effects cannot compete with today’s CGI this was jaw dropping stuff back in the 1960s and completely charmed an eight year old version of myself.
MVP: Armstrong as Jason, kind of strange he never amounted to much because he was really good in this
