Simply Perfect

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

of course this miniseries is nothing spectacular and wont be remembered but its still good to watch I'm not a Greek mythology expert but i am familiar with the story and this is quite faithful to the myth. to the question about Atalanta, she was not in the original film yes but she did appear in the myth. some historians say Jason wouldn't allow a woman on the ship but in other versions she is part of it. the whole crush on Jason thing isn't right though. Jason London of course is not stand out as the hero but he does play the role well enough Brian Thompson is an excellent choice for Hercules, too bad he didn't have more focus but the "fall of Hercules" was greatly done Jolene Black looks amazing as Medea and has the right look for the part. she can be a bit wooden at times but what can you do? Natasha Henstridge could have been given a bigger role and her segment in the story was a bit boring but it was in the myth as for Orpheus why are so many people outraged that he was black? its not like he was talking in urban slang and acting like a pimp. he was cool and the actor portrayed him well Dennis Hopper of course was annoying as his voice droned on but i guess that is good as he was playing a villain and so he made us hate him the other actors were all good apart from this one guy with a Geordie accent who had good sight. his lines didn't fitthe action sequences were very well done. Poseidon looked cool and real enough, the dark rocks scene was exciting and the fight with that dragon was well choreographed. i didn't like the harpies or the bull because the CGI looked a bit bad on them but the action was good. the flee from Colchis was brilliant and quite exciting. the last part of the movie is kinda pointless especially a scene where Zeus tries to seduce Medea. of course the ending is complete bull as Pelias was killed by Medea and sneakily. her and Jason did not become king and queen and the tale did not have a happy ending. overall it is good entertainment and a decent stab at adapting a famous myth

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!

For some people 'Jason and the Argonauts', one of the most representative tale of the rich Greek Mithology, is one the most intense adventure yarn of all times. For this reason, maybe, this story - with more than three thousand years - is always returning to delight children and adults. This new TV version is an accurate and well done entry of the classical adventure. The movie - starring young Jason London as Jason - has a correct cast (with an impressive Dennis Hooper as the cruel King Pelias) and extremely good special effects. Maybe the movie is a bit too overlong which causes some uneven development of the plot, with some parts less interesting than others. For example, the movie goes down when the argonauts are made prisoners in the island of the Amazon women. But there's other great moments: the fight to take the 'Velocino' and the fight against the Minotauro. Although some old guys will remember and miss the old movies about Heroic Greece - especially the movies made with the assistance of the master of the special effects, Mr. Ray Harryhausen - this new version is capable and well done.

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.
