Hercules is totally that guy at the house party who enters the one room marked strictly off limits. Then he pukes on the bed. A year later, your sister's dating him.
Michael StrenskiAug 2, 2016Worth it just for the awakening of Talos.
ScreeningNotesJul 22, 2026The amount of effort that must’ve gone into the final stop-motion skeleton fight is beyond comprehension: love the strange, choppy movement - proper craftsmanship. And the final shot of Hera looking down at Jason through the water is magical. This is what they mean when…

One of the first Greek mythology adventure epics I ever saw, and at an age where I couldn't possibly care that the storytelling, acting and basic filmmaking construction of the non-FX oriented stuff could generously be described as simple/old-fashioned, ungenerously...…
Josh LewisJun 4, 2020Ray Harryhausen and his creatures are the true stars of the show. The skeleton fight alone makes it worth watching. I can't believe how good it still looks.
Felipe F.Jul 26, 2026Getting my Greek mythology fill. This is pretty solid, very dated but the stop motion stuff is sick. I’m not sure how much I care for this story or characters but it’s fun. The skeleton fight is actually a feat but then it just kind of ends abruptly. Talos was cool. Need to…

if i was being attacked by a giant iron statue, screaming harpies, a hydra, or a group of skeletons with swords i would simply let them kill me in an extremely cool way and say thank you for the privilege of being your murder victim
sydneyJul 25, 2026True classic! The film still looks fantastic. The battle with Talos, the seven-headed Hydra guarding the Golden Fleece, and the climactic showdown with the skeletons—it all looks just incredible. I was most impressed by the scene where Triton holds the rock to let the ship…

- katie likedJason and the Argonauts
3.5/5 - the story itself is fine, just kind of the typical adaptation of Greek mythology (which I always enjoy) but what really makes this movie is the stop motion elements. The blend between live action and stop motion has held up really well and still makes such a clever and effective film :-)
Jacob Hall is "meh" onJason and the Argonautsbesides the cool stop-animation, the story is boring. and it was supposed to be a two parter but the second movie was never made so it kind of ruins the whole story imo
Mickerdoo likedJason and the ArgonautsPretty crafty how they made all the effects work. A lot of time and effort can be seen throughout. Cool Greek story, too.
- Cinematic Joshua is "meh" onJason and the Argonauts
A misguided Odyssey that fleeces its cinematic importance because of groundbreaking stop-motion animated creatures.
TheKillingJoke lovedJason and the ArgonautsClassic and fun. Excellent movie all around. Incredible for back in the day and incredible now.
South Philly Dilly Dilly Jawn likedJason and the ArgonautsA creature double feature favorite on Dr Shocks 1970s Saturday afternoon channel 48 TV.
- Sarah Pecoraro lovedJason and the Argonauts
The special effects are truly nearly as good as today’s. This is absolute must see.
David lovedJason and the ArgonautsIt’s great, well worth a watch - ending does feel a bit abrupt tho
Rosey likedJason and the ArgonautsClassic. Lots of fun! Cool seeing the special effects of the day.

Special-effects buffs generally cite this 1963 effort by Ray Harryhausen as the master’s masterpiece, and his work does a great deal to enliven the tired plot and vacuous stars (Todd Armstrong, Nancy Kovack).
