Half Ray Harryahusen stop motion magic, half “who is that again?” Not sure if anyone on screen actually wants to be there, except the Kraken, that guy definitely wants to be there.
Joe AAug 20, 2015A throwback even at the time it was released, Desmond Davis's "Clash of the Titans" is a mythological tale of swords, sandals, and stop-motion spectacle. Eschewing "Star Wars" era special effects for Ray Harryhausen's hand-molded beasties, the film has a quaintness that…
Travis LytleJul 18, 2019An amazing collection of stop motion effects surrounded by the dreariest of movies.

A proper old fashioned adventure movie, telling the story of Perseus on his hero's journey to save a princess from the wrath of a vengeful God. Clash of the Titans keeps its tongue firnly in cheek, but gets full marks for really going all in with the premise. The story is…

Dale RangerJan 7, 2026In retrospect, it’s easy to look at something like this and dismiss it as outdated or even strange special effects by today’s standards. But that misses the point entirely. There’s a particular kind of craftsmanship here that really deserves appreciation. For god’s sake,…

Okay, I can be real: "Clash of the Titans" is not a 5-star movie, but it was such a seminal film for me when I would catch it on television as a child—it absolutely captured my imagination in much the same way as "Star Wars" or other sci-fi/fantasy fare of its era, and…
HKFanaticJul 14, 2026In the wake of the success of Star Wars, screenwriter Beverly Cross and stop-motion FX wizard Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts) reunite for one last handcrafted children’s adventure swan song. Unfortunately, by 1981 everyone involved outside of Harryhausen seems a…

- Lady Rokujo likedClash of the Titans
It was ok. Lowkey Booba (the owl) or whatever his name is carried the entire movie. Perseus would be NOTHING without him 😩😭 And Pegasus was so abused he deserved better :(

Dyl dislikedClash of the TitansI watched this for history when I was a kid and this movie was more torturous than any history lesson I ever had

This is actually the first movie I remember ever watching. The Medusa at the end gave me countless nightmares.
Melanie likedClash of the TitansI love movies with the Gods in it
Mark Bateman likedClash of the Titans8/10
- William Luckenbach likedClash of the Titans
Although the pacing can be slow at times, the story, and action are phenomenal. Without a doubt the best parts of the film are the stop-motion sequences done by the legendary Ray Harry Hausen. 8/10
Log lovedClash of the TitansAn epic from a time before hollywood found it’s true footing in the mythological world. It’s filled with wonder and imagination for the limitations of the time.
Matt Sellstrom lovedClash of the TitansLoved this a kid, poor CGI now but a great story and worth a watch

Metacritic
Clash of the Titans is a grand and glorious romantic adventure, filled with grave heroes, beautiful heroines, fearsome monsters, and awe-inspiring duels to the death. It is a lot of fun.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Clash of the Titans is profligate in its use of talented people who are not particularly at home in this sort of film, though they all pay serious attention to their work.
