Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

John Wayne I'll keep this simple and without all blathering hoopla about this and that, that my predecessors are most famous for. Although this may prove to be somewhat of a tedious task, given that I'm required to have a minimum of 10 lines! I'm actually shocked that this re-make has nearly 6.0 rating from 3500 viewers, probably all of them worked on the making of this futile attempt. I was forced to give it a 1 out of 10 rating....LOL This re-make attempt is one of the worst I've ever had the displeasure of viewing! Simply put, the 1963 original version "hands down" had stellar acting (with a lesser known English cast) and much better (Ray Harryhausen) special effects.

poicaleeruantale I'm a huge mythology fan and I've always loved these Gods and Hero films. Jason and the Argonauts has been popular with me for years, I have seen several takes on Jason and this is a terrific one. I loved Jason London in this and since seeing it I'm looking for more of his films to watch! London is a good actor and a looker as well, which helps the aesthetics of a good movie. His meeting with Medea and their love story seen alongside the love of Zeus and Hera is warm and tender with some amusing moments to lighten some of the tragedies the Argonauts face. The return home and Jason's coming of age - final ruler scenes - are well portrayed. A film worth watching, along with the other Jason/Argonaut films and shows-those of you who enjoy history and mythology should take a look at this. It's a nice way of spending a rainy day!

riverthor As I recall NBC had a string of rating successes from movies and mini-series based on legends and mythology, but when this one aired, NBC discontinued that trend. Critics panned this version of Jason and the Argonauts and audiences tuned out in mass after the first thirty minutes. This is one of the few movies that I have ever seen that every aspect - from producing, to directing, to the acting, to the special effects and photography, and especially the writing, is simply bad. Dennis Hopper, who plays the stepfather of Jason, lacks credibility and has trouble delivering the simples of lines. The action scenes fall far below the standard set in Xena and Hercules. Special effects were state of the art in 1933 Still most films can be saved in the editing room if filmed by a competent director, but that to is missing from this film. My advice is to rent the 1963 movie and classify the 2000 version as a Bomb.

oandogcw Perhaps one of the upsides to viewing this miniseries is the opportunity to see pre-'Enterprise' Jolene Blalock as Medea, the female lead. The word "chameleon" comes to my mind when i compare her physical appearance in this to that in the Star Trek series.I agree that the Harryhausen version set the standard but this was enjoyable viewing on its own merits inclusive of seeing Ms. Blalock before she assumed the role of T'Pol.
