Critics Consensus: A goofy, old-school sword-and-sandal epic, Clash of the Titans mines Greek mythology for its story and fleshes it out with Ray Harryhausen's charmingly archaic stop-motion animation techniques.

Reviews

Charlotte Observer

JoAnn Rhetts

Clash of the Titans is more fun than a '50s fur, forbidden fruit and fin flick has any right to be... Harryhausen's stop-action menagerie is unflaggingly engaging.

For me, Clash of the Titans fails as a film because its dramatic structure is so unsound.

Earthbound, remote, banal, insecure, its actors as stiff as the monsters the special effects man, Ray Harryhausen, has created for them to fight.

Children of all ages will come out happy enough, I would imagine. Dingy colour, a pretty rotten script and the two-hour length were my main complaints. But it was fun while three-quarters of it lasted.

...Clash of the Titans' pantheon of gods is a who's-who of pop culture that draws from classical theater, art cinema and Love Boat guest-star casting calls.
