Movie Reviews of Clash of the Titans (Snap Case)
Movie Review: Greek Mythology + Ray Harryhausen = Classic Cinema!
Summary: 5 Stars
Basic Plot: Perseus, the son of Zeus, must battle legendary creatures and defeat the very forces of darkness that threaten the life of his bride, who -- if he cannot save her in time -- will be given in a horrific sacrifice to The Kraken, a giant monster of the sea.
Clash Of The Titans has it all -- Greek gods, mythical beasts, good vs evil -- all wrapped up in a spectacular tale of action-packed heroism that would satisfy any fantasy fan. But also, to my extra delight, there is plenty of room for fans of Ray Harryhausen's amazing special effects. The monsters included are excellent mixes of live actors and Ray's famous stop-motion animation, giving a viewing experience like no other that beautifully sculpts his imagination around the film. Also, the DVD has special features, including breif commentaries by Harryhausen on each creature featured in the movie! Now how cool is that. Make no doubt about it, this is a true classic that needs to be seen by any fan of fantasy or adventure films -- The Kraken alone is worth a rental! And, for more Harryhausen greatness, check out 20 Million Miles To Earth, The Beast From 20000 Fathoms, Jason And The Argonauts, The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad and others also available through Amazon.com.
Movie Review: Simply an excellent viewing experience
Summary: 5 Stars
"Clash of the Titans" is a movie which I'll never get tired of, no matter how many times I've seen it. It just has it all: a great story, adventure, romance, excitement, mythology, and countless other qualities which make it such an enjoyable film to watch over and over again.One thing that especially stands out about "Clash of the Titans" is the special effects. I don't care what anyone says, no multi-million dollar CGI special effect can ever be as cool as the stop-motion special effects used in this movie. Some might say that it's dated. Well perhaps it is, but they did such a great job in creating the monsters (especially Medusa) that one can only marvel at them. And the fact that this movie is over 20 years old makes it even more impressive.
The DVD presentation isn't superb but it's definitely more than substantial. Image and sound quality have been improved quite a lot from the old video format. Bonus features are good but one can't help feeling that more could have been included, perhaps some deleted scenes. Still, this excellent movie finally being available on DVD is reason enough to be thrilled.

Movie Review: Great Movie - Authentic Greek Mythology
Summary: 5 Stars
I dunno about the quality of this DVD version, but the movie is great. I love how they made it very authentic and really showed a lot of respect for greek mythology. The greeks, the temples, the armor, and everything looked the way it should. The gods acted as they did in the mythology. It is a very finely made movie. It's not cheesy and inauthentic like those awful Hercules and Xena TV series. I really hated the TV Hercules and how he didn't look or act or talk anything like you would think he should. I think the people of the 19th century, who were very much into greek mythology, would have approved of this movie. I particularly liked how Zeus put terracotta figures into a model amphitheater and make them change. That was a very nice creative idea. I am just glad that this movie was put into the hands of people who cared about and respected ancient Greek mythology, which still has the power to inspire. I consider it to be more our true heritage than christianity.
Movie Review: Hamliscious
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite Harry Hamlin movie. I like when he plays Perseus and has the sword. I get mad when he loses things, like when he loses his helmet and when he looses his shield. Just because he kills Medusa doesn't mean he can be careless. I like when he solves Andromeda's riddle and gets to marry her. He beats the Kraken like I beat Sephiroth in Final Fantasy 7. Harry Hamiln should have had a bigger career: this could have been his "Conan." Then he could be governor, too. If you like Marc Singer in Beastmaster, you'll love Harry Hamlin in this movie. Also, this movie is on TV sometimes. If you don't want to buy it right now, you can watch it on TV. It's probably on right now. I think you should buy this movie though and pretend that it's on TV. You can say, "I think I'll watch some TV, I wonder if Clash of the Titans is on." Then you can put it in the DVD player and watch it pretending that you're watching TBN.
