Clash of the Titans Reviews
Still a charming fantasy despite its flaws
I guess I'm one of the (as another reviewer put it) "old timers" who has fond memories of this film. And so much has been said, good and bad, about Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion effects. And I still prefer them to today's CGI stuff. Neither stop-motion nor CGI look particularly realistic, folks. But this is a FANTASY, so I'm willing to not worry so much about whether a creature is believable.
It's a classic story, albeit a familiar one. And the gods-looking-down-on-us-mere-mortals theme was actually handled better in JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS. The cast looks good...and why are so many people upset about Judi Bowker's brief nude scenes? They're hardly gratuitous and not out of place for a PG movie. Harry Hamlin probably wasn't chosen for his acting skills, but this is fantasy/adventure and he looks right for the part.
I'm only sad that this was Harryhausen's final film. He was a master craftsmen of an art that is now, for all intents and purposes, dead.
CLASH OF THE TITANS certainly isn't perfect, but it's well-done and still modern enough that even more jaded viewers who could never sit still long enough for JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS or the SINBAD films (and that's their loss) should be able to watch it.
Clash of the Titans
An excellent film that holds up well over time. Clash of the Titans is a fantasy romp through a Greek mythological world brought to life by the incredible work of Ray Harryhausen.
It's an excellent Sunday afternoon film - it's suitable for everyone, and you can watch it, talk through it, sleep through it and it's still great. Especially after a large meal.
This is a must-have for any movie lovers library.
