Summarize the following movie reviews:

1. This absurd, unwieldy adventure -- if that's the word -- is no worse, but certainly no better, than most of its kind.
2. Great fun, as these things go, with a Bernard Herrmann score to boot.
3. In a cinema landscape populated with all kinds of digitally created creatures and setpieces, it's nice to take a look back and witness the birth of these ideas.
4. (A) fantasia of the classic Greek myth with a brawny odyssey through lands of magic, all at the behest of the gods using humans as pieces in their competitive games and wagers.
5. For true Ray Harryhausen fans, Jason and the Argonauts will remain one of his greatest feats. And if you bring yourself back to the era, you'll find a world of wonder yourself.
6. The sheer outlandish nature of the production sets it apart from many of the mythology-inspired films of its era.
7. The film's engaging use of Greek mythology, entertaining supporting performances (the star, Todd Armstrong, is a bit bland), and outstanding model work (A six-headed Hydra! Seven fencing skeletons!) make it an ideal collector's classic.
8. It mostly comes alive through the imaginative special effects by Ray Harryhausen, the maven of stop-motion animation.
9. The $3 million film has a workable scenario and has been directed resourcefully and spiritedly by Don Chaffey, under whose leadership a colorful cast performs with zeal.
10. Easygoing satire of mythical determinism
Don Chaffey's Jason and the Argonauts is an outlandish, transportive piece of nostalgia whose real star is the masterful stop-motion animation work of Ray Harryhausen.
