Clash of the Titans

To me this is way better than the remakes. Good action and story along with cheesy claymation of the day. It even has Mickey from Rocky coaching Perseus along the way!

"Clash of the Titans" of 1981 is a wonderful showcase for stop-motion modeling mixed with live-action. The movie based on the Ancient Greek mythology story of Perseus. The movie plot Perseus' journey to seek his destiny in battling various monsters such as the Gorgon Medusa, Calibos, and the Kraken, among others to secure the hand of Andromeda, daughter of Queen Cassiopeia. A big legendary adventure with big fun. The actors and actresses were very well casted for their roles. Harry Hamlin was born for the role as the Greek hero, Perseus. Harry Hamlin captures Perseus's character perfectly. Laurence Oliver gives a very excellent performance as Zeus as he exercises aggressive authority along with kindness and helpfulness when necessary. Maggie Smith is very brilliant in her role as goddess Thetis. Judi Bowker was wonderful in her role as Princess Andromeda. Burgess Meredith was a very good choice as Ammon, the father figure for Perseus who guides and supports Perseus on his journey. Ray Harryhausen's special effects are very spectacular and are way better than the CGI that most modern movies use today. The lurking terror of Medusa's lair, the menace of the Stygian Witches, and the raw overwhelming wish-fulfillment of the whole epic struggle are so charming. Perseus's battle against the Medusa is still one of the highlights of the movie. The monsters including the Medusa look so excellent and almost real in the special effects. There are a lot of monsters, and dramatic scenes here that make this tale of Greek mythology come alive. I love Greek Mythology stories. If you like fantasy movies about Ancient Greek mythology and can appreciate stop-motion animation, then definitely see the classic Clash Of The Titans movie from 1981.

The new movies are good, but this one is good too.. it’s just different, definitely epic and classic. A great fantasy movie from the 80’s.

Love this old movie!!!👌🏾

Sure it's not the best special effects but it's still a great movie!

The review shown in this page from Rotten Tomatoes is incorrect: that one is obviously from the 2010 remake with Sam Worthington. I think the original version (offered in this page) is a classic, I've rewatched it a couple of times and enjoy it every time. Great story, the F/X where great back then and still fun to watch, overall a great fantasy / adventure (mythology) flick. A gem from the 80s

This is a movie that the budget was $0.01. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! 2010 version much much better!!! 1981 version Pros: Uh! Nothing! Cons: EVERYTHING!!!

Much well deserved praise has been heaped upon Ray Harryhausen and his stop motion effects for the monsters and creatures of this film. Yes, his techniques were cutting edge and artful at the time, and the film deserves its place in history for that reason. The storytelling and acting, however, are another matter altogether. It's painfully slow, downright boring in places, and the adult in me wonders how the kid I used to be ever managed to sit through it. The remake starring Sam Worthington was far from perfect, but it had the virtue of picking up the pace, at least.

Look this movie was made in 1981 it should not be 68 tomato meter .! This movie is classic !!! Cg camera tricks 3D all had to start somewhere dummies!!$

This movie is not only a great lesson on Greek mythology but also has some of the best creations of Ray Harryhausen. The music and cinematography are fantastic, the suspense and tension during the Medusa scene flows really well and while some of the acting I wasn't to fond of it turned out to be just a fun watch highly recommend it. 4/5
