Movie Reviews of Jason and the Argonauts
Movie Review: Jason in the English Class
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used *Jason and the Argonauts* in my freshman English classes (high school) after our unit on the *Odyssey*. I thought it would complement the *Odyssey* nicely by expanding the students' understanding of the Greek concept of the hero while exposing them to another Greek myth, *Jason and the Golden Fleece*, on which this is based. (It takes liberties, but....) The special effects are not up to the standard kids have come to expect from movies nowadays, but they're passable, and the kids really did get into the story line and the characters.Movie Review: Jason & The Argonauts - The miniseries
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the newly revised NBC miniseries now being released onto DVD.With improved visual effects and more details into the actual storyline.
The story tells of Jason and his band of heroes on their quest to find the Golden Fleece.
The monsters and deities were reconstucted using CG imagery and even though posidon wasn't your expected trident weilding god, the story still holds.
If you've liked previous grand fantasy miniseries (which always seem to creep up on sweeps), this one's for you.
Movie Review: Pleasant suprise for a tv movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first watched it on tv I thought it was going to be bad but I was suprised. I enjoyed it very much. It had some really cool effects for a made-for-tv movie. The actors were good and production values are high. I have watched it twice on dvd since it originally aired. Don't compare it to the original Harryhauen/Schneer classsic. That is in a class of it's own, never to be topped only to be re-interpeted such as this film does.Movie Review: Great modern day but classic adventure
Summary: 4 Stars
Compelling viewing I thought. As already mentioned the movie is technically an old story but you can tell instantly that it's a new version. The acting by all the cast is excellent, the sets are not rickety and the special effects are good, but at the same time it still somehow captures the original magic of the story. I would recommend it to anyone to see. Jason London looks gorgeous girls!Movie Review: A very good movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had heard of this movie when they showed it for the first time on TV. I then rented it and really liked it. To anyone who hasn't seen it, it is a good movie.
