Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

danielaustin-735-484497 This was one of my favourite films growing up in the 80s. Although it was made in the 60s I still liked the fantasy adventure style movies. I was lucky enough to grow up with Star Wars, Indiana Jones, back to the future and the likes but this is truly a classic. The story is one that we all know but it's the acting, pacing, music and special effects that's really sets it apart. It rumbles along at a nice pace with a solid storyline and regular moments or action. I would of liked to see more of Hercules and a stronger ending but what an achievement this film is. Simply a great watch even now. Hopefully it will be on again this Christmas.

mark.waltz Giant iron men, sea monsters with heads of men but tails of fish, harpies attacking blind men, hydras whose teeth turn into fighting skeletons and all sorts of other dangers turn what was commonly referred to as the matinée into a fantasy masterpiece which is considered Ray Harryhausen's triumph by many.Todd Armstrong is Jason, a Greek prince who can only reclaim his throne by locating the golden fleece. Of course, there are mortals who don't want him to succeed and it appears that chief God Zeus doesn't want him to succeed either. The only one who seems to be on his side is the head Goddess Hera, Zeus's wife, and here, she is presented as sympathetic unlike other portrayals.This is the epitome of the fast moving special effects spectacular that was perfected by the talents of Lucas and Spielberg. Stop motion special effects dominate here and are more charming and less headache inducing than today's computer generated effects. Every mythological creature who appears offer both thrills and frights, although students of Greek mythology will nit- pick unnecessarily. I day get off your high Pegasus and enjoy it for the ingenuity that went behind it.

Uriah43 This movie begins with a power-hungry warrior named"Pelias" (Douglas Wilmer) who decides to usurp the throne of the king of Iolos. However, once that is accomplished he is told of a prophecy that one of the king's children will eventually take it from him. So he decides to kill all of the king's children as well. Unfortunately, in the process of trying to do that he deliberately profanes the temple of "Hera" (played by "Honor Blackman") who then angrily allows the king's infant son "Jason" (Todd Armstrong) to be carried away into safety. Now all Pelios can do is wait and hope that something happens to Jason before he returns to Iolos and takes the throne away from him. Sure enough many years later Jason does indeed return but he is told he must first prove that he is worthy to become the new king. To acquire the necessary proof he assembles a crew and sets sail on the Argo in search of a mythical golden fleece on the other side of the world which has the power to heal. Now rather than reveal any more of the story and risk ruining the movie for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a very entertaining "sword and sandal" film which is made even better by some awesome special effect which were way ahead of its time. Likewise having attractive actresses like Nancy Kovack (as "Medea") and the aforementioned Honor Blackman certainly didn't hurt either. In any case, this is a fine movie which can be enjoyed by the entire family and I rate it as above average.

capone666 Jason and the ArgonautsThe problem with sailing in mythological times is the Greek Gods liked to spit on boats from Mount Olympus.Auspiciously, the sailors in this action movie have Hera's help in avoiding those loogies.The last living heir to the throne of Thessaly, Jason (Todd Armstrong) vows to seek out the famed Golden Fleece of legend.With the backing of Zeus (Niall MacGinnis) and Hera (Honor Blackman), Jason holds Olympic trials to choose his crew.On his quest for the fleece, Jason and his Argonauts encounter strange entities like the living statue, vicious harpies and a skeletal army made from the tooth of a Hydra.One of the best sword and sandal movies ever, this 1963 adaptation of the rousing nautical saga is made so much more marvelous by Ray Harryhausen's creature designs.Incidentally, if the fleece were real, Greece could have used its regenerative powers on the Euro long ago.
