 Unwatchable Oct 12, 2009
Rarely have I been inspired by a terrible film to go to the computer to write a review, but JATA features a leaden script, amateur acting, and the most horrible special effects I've ever seen in a major motion picture. I would have thought that technology was far enough along in 1963 to make FX that seem as technologically advanced as all the other technology at the time. The Wizard of Oz, which came a quarter century earlier, is lightyears ahead of this film. The FX are downright embarassing, not much more than Davy and Goliath or Gumby.
The story is just a literal interpretation of the Greek stories, including heavy borrowing from Homer and the playrights, with the ethical, moral and religious lessons largely extracted.
I had to turn it off about 45 minutes through. It might be scary enough to impress young children, and the myths carry some primeval power to get inside your head, but the real power of the myths is due to Homer, Aeschylus and Euripides' great literary power, which is completely lacking in this hollywood claptrap version.
Then and now Sep 12, 2009
Back in the days of drive in movies, when we were kids, we watched this film and it was thrilling. We also ordered the Clash of the Titans. Both were good entertainment and a step back to our younger days and still a bit thrilling. We were able to share some of those memeories with the kids as they watched the movies. All of us enjoyed it. It made for a great weekend movie.
Amazons delivery was very efficient.
 Enjoyable film Sep 11, 2009
I first saw this enjoyable film, when i was at middle school and it was played in the school hall. i though it was fab at the time.
Whilst there was no CGI back in the 60s, this is a great movie with monster animation and good affects; like the stop animation with the bone soldiers.

The story is not as exciting as it was when I first saw it so many years ago, but still a good curl-up on the couch on a rainy or cold afternoon or evening. I like the SinBad stories a bit more.
