Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

cryfenril-38465 This is one of those classic movies that, despite being clunky and laughable by today's über-polished standards, evokes a time in the viewer's life when such trivial details went overlooked in the face of a good-versus-evil, over-the-top, beautifully simple story that gave you a magnificently happy ending.Harry Hamlin didn't have to act or even emote - it was enough just to look at that gorgeous chiseled face and see him scantily clad in a revealing toga. Ursula Andress, despite having only a single line in the whole thing, is beyond exquisite. Good thing, too, since every line in the movie is overblown... because come on people, we're talking Olympian gods and myths here! If, like me, you grew up in the 70s and 80s, this grand operatic gem of a movie gave you a warm fluffy visual treat equivalent to a brownie sundae. Not a nutritious meal, but it left you feeling giddy, slightly overcharged, and ready to believe that syrupy goodness wins out in the end. Handsome hero overcomes seemingly impossible odds, beautiful maiden is swept off her feet by romantic besotted stranger, wise and benevolent adviser offers advice and quips in the background, and all against a backdrop that is as overdone and self-aggrandizing as the acting itself. The music is equally epic and quite hummable when you're stuck in traffic.The entire movie begs you to suspend your disbelief and just accept the story, no matter how awkwardly strung-together it is to those of us who are now sadly spoiled by modern special effects. And it's a sacrifice I make gladly, every time, because like Scully and Mulder I WANT TO BELIEVE. If you were lucky enough to be of an impressionable age when it came out, it made you a believer too.The lurking terror of Medusa's lair, the menace of the Stygian Witches, and the raw overwhelming wish-fulfillment of the whole epic struggle are so charming that the viewer is glad to let go of their adulthood and believe in childish ideals again. Harryhausen delivered monsters that, while not necessarily perfect, were JUST RIGHT for the feeling at hand. A little romantic, perhaps a little forced and silly at times, but isn't that what it's all about? Myths aren't meant to be realistic. That's what makes them myths.Clash of the Titans is a movie version of every child's favorite teddy bear. It may be moth-eaten and grubby by today's standards, but you love that bear anyway and you wouldn't trade it for a thousand new ones. It kept you safe from the monsters under the bed. It gave you hope. It made you believe that all was right with the world. And that's a gift that you never outgrow, and you'll always look past its flaws and remember the comfort it provided when you were young.

Cris Maden Though not the most refined film by far, when people ask me what my favourite film of all time is then the first words out of my mouth are "Clash of the Titans (the original)". For some unknown reason this movie has stuck with me since childhood and to this day i can watch it from start to finish without looking away from the screen. Yes it may look corny and fake but this movie just works and the actors excellent performances along with the great audio/visual effects make it a masterpiece in my eyes.In a battle with the newer more technologically advanced Clash of the Titans this one wins hands down in my book and will forever hold a spot in my heart.

dworldeater Clash Of The Titans comes from a special magic place in time, the early 1980's. Before cgi ruled the cinematic world, film makers and their special f/x crews relied on craftsmanship and creativity to get their fantastical visions on the screen. Ray Harryhausen's hard work and intense imagination bring the Greek mythology to life and it is a sight to behold. Of course, the special visual f/x are a major part of the film, but Desmond Davis directed this and did a fine job in keeping this cohesive and exciting. The film itself looks great, is well acted and sounds great with the uplifting and triumphant score by Laurence Rosenthal. Harry Hamlin is excellent as hero Perseus and does a great job in carrying the film. Judi Bowker is the gorgeous Princess Andromeda and love interest for hero and super stud Perseus. I'm sure most guys in Perseus place would have little problem rising to the occasion to fight the forces of evil to gain the favor of our super hot princess. Most dudes would die trying, which is why Perseus is the man. The rest of the support cast(mostly British) is great also. Plus Burgess Merideth, Ursula Andress and most importantly Laurence Oliver brings down the thunder as Zeus. The early 80's were a great time for movies like this and Clash Of The Titans has long been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. As an adult, I still find it enjoyable but it is also is a very well made and classy movie as well.

SnoopyStyle King Acrisius of Argos sends his daughter and her son Perseus off in a wooden coffin. An angry Zeus (Laurence Olivier) releases the Kraken to destroy Argos. Perseus is saved and grows up in safety. Calibos is the son of sea goddess Thetis (Maggie Smith) engaged to Princess Andromeda (Judi Bowker). However Calibos hunted Zeus's sacred flying horses and he is transformed into a monstrous satyr. In revenge, Thetis leaves Perseus (Harry Hamlin) to chance abandoned in Joppa while cursing Andromeda. Perseus is aided by an old poet named Ammon (Burgess Meredith). Zeus sends Perseus a helmet of invisibility from Athena (Susan Fleetwood), a sword from Aphrodite (Ursula Andress), and a shield from Hera (Claire Bloom). He captures Pegasus and answers the riddle of Andromeda breaking her curse. However Thetis is insulted at the wedding and commands that Andromeda be sacrificed to the Kraken.It is the end of Ray Harryhausen's era as stop motion photography fades in light of the new computer technology. It is the last and finest example of his work. This has great old fashion actors doing their best to give this movie substance. The story is a little bit complicated but the expositions do a good job. The movie just works. It's high adventure on a grand scale like old Hollywood.
