Plot: The eschewing of modern optical effects techniques in favor of the classic stop-motion animation work of special effects legend Ray Harryhausen was a delightful highlight of this action adventure that attempted to give Greek mythology the Star Wars (1977) treatment. Harry Hamlin stars as Perseus, a mortal who, due to the interference of the mighty god Zeus (Laurence Olivier), finds himself in the city of Joppa, far away from his island home. There, he falls in love with Andromeda (Judi Bowker), an imprisoned princess. To free her, win her hand, and thus half of the kingdom, Perseus solves a riddle, but Joppa's enraged ruler orders Andromeda fed to the Kraken, a towering sea monster that's the last of the powerful Titans. In his quest to save Andromeda, Perseus must endure a series of trials with the help of the winged horse Pegasus and a friendly playwright, Ammon (Burgess Meredith). His ultimate goal is to secure the head of the grotesque Gorgon named Medusa and use it to turn the Kraken into stone, but dangers await, including the hideously deformed Calibos (Neil McCarthy). ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Crappy transfers SUCK!
Added 11/12/2009

This is the same issue I have with one of my favorite guilty pleasures...DEATH BECOMES HER. It's pretty sad when your VHS looks better than the DVD. Hopefully the release of the remake will produce a better transfer of the original!

Happy As Can Be!

Once again, my wife Madena, was happy when she viewed Clash Of The Titans. She remembered this movie when it came out at the drive in (I think it was the early 80s), and she tells me that it was a great movie then, and it is a great movie now. Madena states that it is a beautiful presentation of Greek Mythology. I'm glad she is happy.

This movie is a CLASSIC. I loved watching this when i was younger and still love watching it now. Granted the special effects are not nearly as "special" when compared to today's films, but given the year it was made, this is a good movie. A+

Too Cute. A disappointment.
Added 10/16/2009

As a longtime fan of Ray Harryhausen, I found this film to be a great disappointment when it first came out and to this day. Every time I see the mechanical owl, I want to throw a hammer at the TV. It is sad, because when Ray finally had enough production money to make a great film, it was laden with juvenalia. Give me even the silliest of his early films, I would take any of them over this overblown disaster. I love Ray Harryhausen, but not this film.

My kids love the movie
Added 10/15/2009

I remembered this movie from when I was a kid. I was a big Greek mythology buff. The movie doesn't follow the myth exactly, which can be a little frustrating for those of us that are mythology geeks. Overall the movie was fun and the kids loved it.

There is a tiny bit of nudity, when Danae is breast feeding her baby. Also, Perseus and Danae are walking on the beach and when Andromeda is bathing. I didn't think it was any big deal, but be warned.
