Greek mythology of a young man Perseus (Harry Hamlin), son of Zeus(Laurence Oliver). Perseus is somehow transported to the city of Joppa. There he learns of Princess Andromeda (Judi Bowker, who challenges suitors with difficult riddles. The riddles are given to her by deformed Calibos(Neil McCarthy).

Clash of the Titans is a movie that will have you sitting on the edge of your seats wondering what will happen next. Even though the special effects aren't the greatest, it is a great film. I would recommend it to audiences of all ages.. Also I recommended Download Free The Proposal Movie

Robust fantasy / adventure based on Greek and Nordic mythology.

Mortal man Perseus (Harry Hamlin), who was sired by the god Zeus (Laurence Olivier), has his future determined by the vindictive goddess Thetis (Maggie Smith) and her deformed son Calibos (Neil McCarthy). He receives some divine help and acquires a faithful steed in the winged white horse Pegasus.

While it serves mainly as a showcase for the visual effects of the legendary Ray Harryhausen (who was also a producer), it's still fun to watch, with a cast full of top acting professionals (who else but Laurence Olivier could have played Zeus?). Young star Hamlin is serviceable, but he's at least more believable than co-star Judi Bowker (as his love interest, Andromeda) - she's beautiful but dull.

Laurence Rosenthal contributes a grand, sweeping, romantic type of score, and those scenes not shot in the studio are shot in some striking European locations.

The picture really comes to life whenever one of Harryhausen's animated characters is on screen. Overall, the picture moves rather slowly, with no sense of urgency - in that sense, it's really kind of an old-fashioned, traditional fantasy quest because more modern thrillers often work overtime to try to keep the audience's attention. It's never as exciting as it probably could have been, but it IS entertaining.

The best sequences for me were the ones with Dioskilos (the two-headed dog) and Medusa, the snake-haired she-demon.

I remember being intrigued by this movie as a child (I would have been eight or nine when it came out) and it probably still appeals more to the kid in me than anything else.

7/10. Also I recommended Download Free Basement Jack Movie
