Reviews

prudhoeboy This movie is a good example of what happens when making the leading man "cool" is more important that making a good movie. Jason London was a serious miscast for this otherwise salvageable, but still under-perfoming movie. Most of the women in the movie had more grit than he did, and did all the leading.Lack of imagination and special effects was also a big problem. No serious thunderbolts, spooky mists, raging storms or anything else to make the viewer feel like it is an adventure. What animation there was was cheesy bordering on cartoony. The Gods were not credible for another. No scene of Zeus on throne on Olympus or anything. The ocean voyages looked more often like sunny summer cruise to Catalina rather than a perilous mythological adventure.Finally, and possibly the most damning, was the mishandling of how the fleece was presented. No retrospective on how it came to be, it's powers, etc., etc. So why would anyone want to look for it?

poicaleeruantale I'm a huge mythology fan and I've always loved these Gods and Hero films. Jason and the Argonauts has been popular with me for years, I have seen several takes on Jason and this is a terrific one. I loved Jason London in this and since seeing it I'm looking for more of his films to watch! London is a good actor and a looker as well, which helps the aesthetics of a good movie. His meeting with Medea and their love story seen alongside the love of Zeus and Hera is warm and tender with some amusing moments to lighten some of the tragedies the Argonauts face. The return home and Jason's coming of age - final ruler scenes - are well portrayed. A film worth watching, along with the other Jason/Argonaut films and shows-those of you who enjoy history and mythology should take a look at this. It's a nice way of spending a rainy day!

Nickolai Gemedjiev I have been watching this movie on Hallmark Channel for about 5 years. It depicts an ancient story. Some of the characters are from the Ancient Greek Mythology. I am particularly interested in the character of Orpheus. If the viewer is too young and takes the movie as a source of his future culture and development, he'll be totally surprised when coming to Bulgaria and Greece and finding that the population there is mainly Caucasian and only few of it has blond hair and eyes. That is the insult that I am talking about. Orpheus could not be at all an African-American, or being representative of Africa. It is so ridiculous because everybody here in my country Bulgaria is generously laughing when seeing this movie. There is a name for a mountain which is situated 90 % in Bulgaria and only 10 % in Greece - the Rhodopi mountains or the Rhodopi, Rhodopa. It is called Orpheus' mountain. The cave of Trigrad in the heart of the mountain is the where he lost his love Euridice or Evridika. It is the same mountain where Rita Wilson's father was born. I think the producers would have to meet him and read, orientate a bit before placing an African-American actor to play Orpheus.

rtfischel I enjoyed the 'Jason and the Argonauts' remake. I almost bought it, until I reached the end of it and realised that Talos, the Bronze Giant, had not made an appearance in it. C'mon, this character made the first one so special, so great. Talos really comes alive in glorious special effects; I wish they'd kept him in, I really do. Then I would've bought the re-make, which in other respects is more faithful to the mythology. Admittedly, Talos was only peripherally important in the myth: he lived on the island of Crete and used to hurl large rocks at passing vessels. Only by Medea's charm can the monster be overcome. They did the same to 'The Odyessy': left out the Sirens, who lured unwary sailors to their doom on the rocks. C'mon! How can you have a film about 'The Odyessy' and not include them? Let us hope the next person to write a screenplay based on an ancient myth will include all the important bits seemingly left out of modern remakes. even though they do look good.
