Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Rainey Dawn The 1963 film is an Epic that is hard to top. NBC did a fantastic job with this film - and I'm not a fan of most remakes but this film is worth while watching.Why do some reviewers all over the internet bash this film? Because of some slight changes from the 1963 film? Some say this 2000 version strays from the facts. What facts? Jason and the Argonauts is a MYTH!! -- A MYTH folks and not based on any "facts". So why nitpick this film? Nitpicking is based on what? The 1963 movie? Sure the 1963 version or take on the myth is good but this 2000 film is just as good.If you chose to watch this film, I'd advise you to make up your own mind and not try to compare this film to 1963. Just watch the film, enjoy it for what it is (a MYTH) and rate this film in it's own merit.CGI is NOT misused nor abused in anyway. Looks just as appealing as the claymation or stop motion of the 60s. Story is good, acting is good, and everything else about this 2000 movie is good. Why all the fuss? I personally like this version of the myth. It is an Epic in it's own right and I quite enjoyed watching it. This version is about 1 hour 15 minutes longer than that of the 1963 - it has more time to pack more into it.7.5/10

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.

StuOz Everyone likes the vintage film the most, I was never really into the original, perhaps that is part of the reason that I think that "Jason 2000" is just fine, in fact I would call it a knockout way to begin the century! The year 2000 was not exactly swarming with quality content on the big or small screen, so "Jason 2000" holds a special place a being a "2000 highlight".I love nearly everything about this production, the fake CGI creatures do a bit of damage, but just about everything is fine. The whole cast, including Jason, is outstanding. I have a soft spot for fantastic sea adventures and the footage of the ship in danger is well filmed. There is even a bit of dark comedy involved in the way the bad guy kills people...it was funny to me at least.The DVD special features reveal that the production was rushed a bit too much, perhaps that explains why the Jason actor was not able to give everything he had to his performance. The actor complained that he was tired due to lack of sleep. Despite this issue, I was not bothered by his acting at all (but many other reviewers are bothered by him).A less talked about element is the high quality grand music score that plays over the show, giving some scenes a huge lift. Is there some reason that this kind of music is less used in film/TV these days?

gorgeousgreekbeauty I have seen bad movies and then there is this movie .... this is worse than 1988's Space Mutiny, which was wayyyyyyyyyyyy bad ...This has the most boring, superficial, un-intelligible incoherent actor to tackle a project like this ... who chose this guy to play Jason? Only a relative would hire this guy .. The supporting cast aren't too bad .. if you can pull away from the too much screen time of Zeus & Hera .. who are quite lovely to look at, but that's about it ...The only actor to provide conviction and strength to their role was the talented actress who portrayed Atalanta .. Being Greek and a lover of Greek mythology .. this was insulting ... it was mythologically inaccurate and the cast of characters were pathetic .. where was the army of skeletons? Where was the hydra? Stay away from this junk .. give me back the 4 and some hours you took from me ..
