Movie Reviews of The Valley of Gwangi

Movie Review: A "Hoot" for fans of Old-time Dinosaur Movies
Summary: 5 Stars

I was first introduced to this movie watching "Who's Line is it Anyway?" They put Colin in front of "the blue screen" so that he had no idea what was behind him, and showed the rest of us Colin "reporting" while playing the scene where the cowboys are lassoing and hog-tying the pteradactyl. (Pardon my spellings.) Being a fan of the old-style animations, I just had to have a copy of this.
Others have given the basic plot outline, so I won't bother. I WILL say that my nephew and I thoroughly enjoy this one, probably for all the wrong reasons.
As a party game, it's a great film to do your own version of "Mystery Science Theater 3000".

Movie Review: Harryhausen's neglected gem shines!
Summary: 5 Stars

This 1969 release by Ray Harryhausen and Charles Schneer was a flop upon it's initial release. A change of studio heads at Warner Bros. caused the film to be ignored in terms of advertising and publicity. Now you can see it in all it's glory. Widescreen, digitally remastered, with a documentary featuring praise by the ILM team. The stop motion animation is superb. Over the years, the film has gained a cult following due to video and cable. It's strange mix of cowboys and dinosaurs (with a stronger emphasis on the dinosaurs) is charming, and the film can be viewed by all ages. A must for Harryhausen fans, even if you own the video

For many years a hard-to-find entry in the career of Ray harryhausen, The Valley of Gwangi, is a great saturday matinee movie filled with Harryhausen's absolutely breathtaking special effects. Who can resist cowboys and dinosaurs? Not me!

Movie Review: Still a great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

Before technology found the way to improve monster moves, this was the way we saw them. Even with the old methods, the story is still one of the greats.
