Movie Reviews of Mighty Joe Young
Movie Review: mighty joe rules
Summary: 5 Stars
This original version of Mighty Joe Young is one of the most entertaining giant monster films I've ever seen. Being a huge Ray Harryhausen fan I had never seen Mighty Joe after reading that Harryhausen was the man behind Joe's stop action animation. I was resigned to watching a cute old ape versus man film, but boy was I fooled. Not only do the special effects and action scenes with Joe and his human antagonists still stand the test of time but the story itself was magically fun to watch on my portable dvd player in wide screen. I watched the film while on vacation at Hilton Head Island SC and totally let myself go in the fantasy of Mighty Joe. If you are a fan of this period of monster film making, Mighty Joe Young is a must see. I can't believe I just discovered this great film.Movie Review: Mighty Joe Young
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of the best movies of it's type and in it's day. I've loved it for a long time and will always love this movie. There's excitement, love, sadness and happiness all in one movie. Can't get any better.

Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw Mighty Joe Young (1949) when I was five years old with my mom at the old LUXOR theater in the Bronx. At five it left me with an impression I was never able to forget. I would have rated it a five "wow" film (not being familiar with the star system of rating). When I recently watched this old film again its story and special effects still impressed me and I rate it four star film. Nicely done!
Movie Review: possibly the best commentary track ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen the movie 100 times. Yet watching it while listening to the commentary track was a brand new experience! Who knew half the interesting trivia associated with this gem! The other 2 bonus interviews with Ray are the things dreams are made of! Not only a super value for the money but so above and beyond my expectations its not funny. Did I mention I liked it?Movie Review: Still a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
The one that really started it all in stop motion for Ray Harryhausen. A must for all Ray fans. And, as usual, they pull out a few extras on the disk to make it more interesting. It is always amazing to hear how many of today's leading lights of Hollywood were influenced by Harryhausen's work.
