this have the typical good and bad of those 1950s mythical story with jason and the argonaut and sinbad and the golden fleece and etc . the good be ray harryhuasen special effect and the bad be the stupid dialog and sub par act . boy and this one really have both in spade . since this film be do 20 year after those other film and i expect harryhausen special effect to be far good and to be honest . for a 1977 film and it do not look far remove from the cheesy effort of the 1950s . maybe part of that be the horrible dialog . the latter be so bad this film be embarrass to watch at time . i would like to see some of these re make today . i be sure they would be far superior to this class b junk .
