FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

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

Master Cultist Mini-series treatment of the perennial favourite, this is fairly faithful to the original material (the movie I mean, not the ancient Greeks scrolls!) and is admirably played straight throughout, and not overly hammy.The plot is familiar to all I should imagine - to save his mother, Jason is sent on a quest to reclaim the Golden Fleece from an evil tyrant, and the power of said Fleece will allow his mother to be cured.Of course, as with the movie version, this lives and dies by the set-pieces, and they are well handled: Neptune, The Harpies, the skeletons from the dragon's teeth, they're all here and, with the exception of the skeletons, are well done - the skeletons are a bit of a disappointment, it has to be said, but I guess beating the majesty of the originals was always going to be a big ask.Perhaps a shade too long with a three hour running time, it starts to flag towards the end, but this is still an enjoyable romp.

TheUnknown837-1 This was a truly fantastic surprise to discover one day when I was roaming the Sci-Fi Channel. I only ever roam the Sci-Fi Channel on a sunny day when I have nothing else to do. I just need something to criticize on days like that. But in this case, I didn't find something to criticize, but instead, something to be impressed at. "Jason and the Argonauts" is a made-for-TV movie and was obviously made on a low budget. It stretches about three hours in its running time, four when you include the commercials, and yet, I did not find myself bored or tired with it until near the very end. I have never seen the original film with Ray Harryhausen's stop motion effects, nor am I all that familiar with the original Greek myth upon which that film and this film was based. But I did very much enjoy this film.One of the many things that impressed me about this film was the good quality presented in its computer graphics. Unlike most features presented on the Sci-Fi Channel, the effects in this film are very convincing. They weren't entirely flawless, but were realistic enough. My favorite out of all the creatures was a giant lizard-like dragon that appears about mid-way through the film. It looked reptilian and the lighting effects used on it to make it blend in with everything else was magnificent. I was not as impressed, however, with Poseidon, the sea-god. Here, he is represented as this giant stone humanoid figure that literally roars a dinosaur's roar. If Poseidon were to roar at all, I think it would be an electronically altered human-made sound. But nonetheless, a fine addition to the story.Even though the film is three hours long, like I mentioned earlier, it does play itself well. There was merely one sequence that I felt was removable and that was the part where Jason and his crew encounter an island full of beautiful, but cannibalistic women. While it wasn't a badly done scene, if there was to be another scene removed due to pacing problems, it would have had to be this one.With a well-written script, fine acting, surprisingly good special effects and sound design, and a very impressive-for-its-type entertaining value, this version of "Jason and the Argonauts" is a very delightful surprise to discover. It managed to keep me interested on a day where I would have rather been outside, and in a case like that, it takes a good movie to keep me to sit still for four hours. And it did. I recommend it and there are hopes from me for others like this.

Nickolai Gemedjiev I have been watching this movie on Hallmark Channel for about 5 years. It depicts an ancient story. Some of the characters are from the Ancient Greek Mythology. I am particularly interested in the character of Orpheus. If the viewer is too young and takes the movie as a source of his future culture and development, he'll be totally surprised when coming to Bulgaria and Greece and finding that the population there is mainly Caucasian and only few of it has blond hair and eyes. That is the insult that I am talking about. Orpheus could not be at all an African-American, or being representative of Africa. It is so ridiculous because everybody here in my country Bulgaria is generously laughing when seeing this movie. There is a name for a mountain which is situated 90 % in Bulgaria and only 10 % in Greece - the Rhodopi mountains or the Rhodopi, Rhodopa. It is called Orpheus' mountain. The cave of Trigrad in the heart of the mountain is the where he lost his love Euridice or Evridika. It is the same mountain where Rita Wilson's father was born. I think the producers would have to meet him and read, orientate a bit before placing an African-American actor to play Orpheus.
