Jason and The Argonauts.
To reclaim his kingdom and bring peace Jason(Todd Armstrong) gathers together a crew of the strongest chaps in Greece and sets sail to the far ends of the earth to find the magical Golden fleece. and has to face many strange creatures on his quest that include a big bronze man, two winged harpies, a Hydra and a bunch of nasty skeletons.
despite being made in 1963 the effects in this film still look pretty spectacular by Ray harryhausen and i much prefer them to all this CGI rubbish which doesnt look realistic at all in my opinion. The skeleton sequence in particular is very good indeed and they look very creepy specimims with there swords and shields.
Acting is also pretty good overall too, even if Todd Armstrong is a little wooden. Honor blackman as the goddess Hera gives a good turn though, as does the chap Nigel Green from Countess dracula as Hercules.
Very good escapist entertainment indeed and a good recommended film for adventure and fantasy fans. 80 out of 100.
