Bravo!.......2008-01-05
This film should be classed as one of the greatest films of all time. I can't fault it in the slightest. The storyline was just epic and for it's time, the graphics were the best. So much effort was put into the modelling and design of the mythological creatures. I remember watching this for the first time as a child and being absolutely petrified of Medusa. Even now still, decades later, I am still rather chilled at her grace. The stop motion method of moving her, gave it that extra horror factor as she seemed stiff and zombie like. You'd definitely not want to meet her when walking down a dark alley way!
Ray Harryhausens Masterwork.......2007-11-16
This, Harryhausen's last film is easily my personal fave. People have had a go about how outdated the special effects are, and well they are, but they possess charm and wonderful character.
To win the hand of his beloved Andromeda, Perseus (Harry Hamlin) most face many perils (including Medusa) to save his beloved from being sacrificed to the Kraken. He has to complete this task within 30 days which gives the film a sense of urgency. Definately one to watch.
amazing.......2007-06-22
This is film has got my most favourite film its that gud.....i must have seen this hudereds of times but i jsut had to get it on DVD. the sound of the cretures is factastic for its time. actually my dad made the sound box which produced all of the creture sounds :P i no how cool is that. he sold it to his mate who was working on the film at the timem, he only got 100 quid for it lol....but yea anwyays this film is amazing definatly worth buying
A Oldie but still a Goodie.......2006-05-03
I hate it when people moan on how out of date this brillant film is, how the moan on about how bad the visuals are, but with out this film and many other of Ray's film effects we would not have the likes of Peter Jacksons "King Kong" today.
Look at the films good points, good story, brillant actors, fanatastic monsters.
This film is a classic and should be respected as one.
Show it your children and let then marvel in a hey day of exellent films made to keep you on the edge of your seat as a child.
One of my all time greats and a treasured memory too.
Outdated,but still a classic.......2006-02-20
Ok the effects in the film are outdated, but at the time where classic. I remember seeing this film at the cinema when i was a kid and it is definately still watchable. Yes some of the acting and lines are cheesy and corny, but its a classic telling of a classic greek mythological tale. This is definately worth buying, if only to entertain the kids, which im sure it will do!

O Andromeda.......2007-07-29
There's only one reason I watch this film (or portions of it) again and again.
It's not the special effects of Harryhausen which are pretty variable in quality (my favorite is Medusa, my least favorite is that damn owl).
It's not the story which flows well enuf except for the tendency to draw out the special effects scenes (as with all Harryhausen films).
It's not the major British stars (eg, Olivier typecast as Zeus) languishing on Mt Olympus, drawing paychecks.
It's not the Americans Hamlin or Burgess, altho they do very well.
It's the heartbreakingly beautiful and talented Judi Bowker (as Andromeda) in one of her few film roles. She has a reasonable amount of screen time. And she was gorgeous in that ancient Greek costuming.
I give the movie 3 stars and add a 4th for Judi, but, really, there aren't enuf stars in the heavens...
ITS MULTI REGION!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-04-07
Ive seen folks on UK ebay selling region 2 (UK) dvds of clash of the titans for HIGH sums in auctions and when I asked them HOW as its never been officially released over here as region 2 they wouldnt answer or told me a pack of lies. The reason being that this USA release, although it says region 1 here AND on the packaging is in fact multiregion. I bought one and it plays fine on my region 2 player, thats probably why theres no mention of regions on the disk itself. So all you UK fans buy this bargain priced dvd until the UK one comes out in the distant future, put the ebay profiteers out of business, they dont want you knowing its multiregion!!! as is the monty python flying circus USA complete box
set!!!
EDIT: This film is now OFFICIALLY released over in the UK on region 2, so no need to buy the American one now, WHOOPPEE!!!
"Find and fulfill your destiny.".......2005-02-26
You can not go wrong with this movie. Of course the first thing that is of notice is the great Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion effects the Kraken and Medusa are unique. I have several other movies with his work.
Better actors could not be cast in the various roles; I have to mention a few, however this does not detract from the other performers. Maggie Smith is recognized from many BBC productions and fits the part of Thetis. Judi Bowker as Andromeda has to play a range of emotions and is beautiful enough to be a princess. Of course everyone recognizes Burgess Merideth; I remember him best as Commander Egan Powell, Intelligence Officer, in
"In Harm's Way" (1965). Who could show the authority that Zeus wields better than Laurence Olivier does.
Titans were around before Zeus's crowd so many people are not aware of their story.
This basic story is that the only daughter of Acrisius has given birth to a child out of wedlock and for this she must die. Danae and her young son, Perseus are placed in a wooden coffin and set adrift with the intent that the Sea will do the deed. Naturally as with all Greek plays this is spotted in time by Zeus who sets them safely on a foreign shore. This is the start of a cat and mouse power struggle among the gods and involves mankind with a beautiful Princess Andromeda, an amiable playwright Ammon, and many mythical creatures from the classics.
Clash Of The Titans.......2004-07-16
This is an old film, but has been one of my favirots for as long as I can remember. Its insiring and put learning about Greece Acient Greece in my mind since I watched this film. Truly an epic for its time, one which I can watch over and over again. Fantastic !!!!
Wondeful Story.......2004-07-14
Clash of the Titans is simply a classic. From the moment the Witches first mention the word 'Medusa', the atmosphere slowly turns sinister; a fantastic build up of tension to her petrifying introduction, the pivotal point of the film in my opinion. From then, the scene is flawless and the remainder leads onto a heroic ending. Whatever you do....... DON'T look her in the eye....
