A Good TV Movie Version Of The Tale
The 1963 film is an Epic that is hard to top. NBC did a fantastic job with this film - and I'm not a fan of most remakes but this film is worth while watching.
Why do some reviewers all over the internet bash this film? Because of some slight changes from the 1963 film? Some say this 2000 version strays from the facts. What facts? Jason and the Argonauts is a MYTH!! -- A MYTH folks and not based on any "facts". So why nitpick this film? Nitpicking is based on what? The 1963 movie? Sure the 1963 version or take on the myth is good but this 2000 film is just as good.
If you chose to watch this film, I'd advise you to make up your own mind and not try to compare this film to 1963. Just watch the film, enjoy it for what it is (a MYTH) and rate this film in it's own merit.
CGI is NOT misused nor abused in anyway. Looks just as appealing as the claymation or stop motion of the 60s. Story is good, acting is good, and everything else about this 2000 movie is good. Why all the fuss?
I personally like this version of the myth. It is an Epic in it's own right and I quite enjoyed watching it. This version is about 1 hour 15 minutes longer than that of the 1963 - it has more time to pack more into it.
7.5/10
