Movie Reviews of Jason and the Argonauts

Movie Review: Another tepid NBC fantasy miniseries.
Summary: 2 Stars

Brendan Fraser look-a-like Jason London stars as the titular hero, Jason, who goes on a quest to retrieve the golden fleece to save his mother's life. Expensive miniseries has a very lavish look and impressive production values, but suffers from a plodding pace, cheesy CGI effects (though the dragon-monster is pretty good), lack of good humor, and mostly flat acting. Picks up a bit in the exciting finale, but not enough to redeem all 3 hours. Good score from Simon Boswell.

Movie Review: Fails to Deliver
Summary: 1 Stars

Ugh, this should have been great. With some great supporting cast, the special effects abilities of today's studios, the budgets used for mini-series' such as this, and so on, this should have been fantastic. If you're looking for a film version of the classic myths and legends of Jason and the Argonauts, this isn't it. Not only does the film suffer from a weak script and a lead actor who has all the emoting capabilities of Keanu Reeves, but over half of the basic elements of the story are missing (the Sirens, Aeetes' warship fleet, Circe turning the men into swine, the stranding of the Argo on dry land, the Garden of Hesperides) and most remaining elements are wildly inaccurate (Jason's father, Pelias' son, Heracles/Hercules, the fate of just about all the Argonauts, etc.) As a story in it's own right... eh, it's just there - nothing special.

Movie Review: Great Mythological Story/Bad Director!
Summary: 1 Stars

I enjoy Greek Mythology and I love this story. Although there was alot of bad acting especially from the lead character Jason, who acted like he was stoned throughout the film. I was expecting the Hydra guarding the golden fleece but got a oversized Komoto Dragon(Lost me there) This Film had potential but the director went off on some wierd drug indused trip. Overall I was dissappointed and was expecting more. Sorry!

Movie Review: They slaughtered this movie
Summary: 1 Stars

The old one was twice as good. the story is so jumbled is even worse than my room. the one scene that i wanted to see the most the skeleton scene was so messed up i could not even tell they were skeletons he did a strange cicus act that made the skeletons hit each other with their weapons which was clearly a moronic attempt to look cool and save money. this movie reeks, and is not worth the money!
