Fun Mythical Adventure Harryhausen-Style
Reviewed by criddic2 for Clash of the Titans at 2010-09-26 03:31:21
Harry Hamlin is an acceptable hero in this boldly old-fashioned tale. A supporting cast boasting of Laurence Olivier as Zeus, Maggie Smith and Burgess Meredith helps a lot. Yet the real stars are the creature effects provided by stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen, which are often impressive.

Never again
Reviewed by daswitzer for Marathon Man at 2008-08-03 18:54:35
If you want me to have a breakdown, force me to watch the dental scene from this movie. It gave me nightmares for months. Because of that one scene, I could never watch this movie again and I would not recommend it....or at least fast-forward through that torture scene.

A Caine Triumph
Reviewed by shanahan for Sleuth at 2008-06-21 12:53:33
Caine is truly remarkable in this film: he plays as wide a range as one can imagine, and he does it with just enough finesse to make it a joy to watch. Olivier plays - well, Olivier. Vastly overrated as a dramatic actor, we see him play the self-important man he may actually have been. And the plot - okay, no spoilers, but this one twists and turns right up until the last moment. A must-see for anyone who likes detective stories.
