Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Great Old fashioned entertainment
Comments: Well, if you haven't seen these and you are looking for something modern and you like to be critical of movies then go elsewhere, these are great old movies for pure fun with the stop action animation. Ray HarryHausen was great. It was great to be able to add them to my collection all at once. My 12 year old grandson who is into Spiderman and Iron Man and X-Men and all the modern stuff absolutely loves them.

Summary: Harryhausen
Comments: I purchased these movies for me. When I was a kid they use to show this kind stuff on tv. Now it is all mind numbing bubblegum trash. Both of my kids (3 and 7) love these movies. The writting isn't great, however the adventures are fun and the monsters big and small are the best. Now I will have purchase more, of Mr. Harryhausens work. Were ever you are, god bless you Ray. |

Summary: Excellent Pack!!
Comments: Im Incredibly happy with this Pack, Im a Ray Harryhausen Fan I love all the movies he made, so i wanted to get e movie with his work. This Pack help my so much with my collection, Because of 2 things:
1-It has Jason And The Argonauts that is practically his best film.
2-If you purchase this pack you will have the Sinbad trilogy.
So, Some people that just want to see the best films of Ray in just1pack were a little disappointed because this pack Have "The 3 Worlds Of Gulliver" and it doesn't have "Clash Of The Titans" and that's something bad for some people that do not want the entire collection, however for me it was great not having to purchase "The 3 Worlds Of Gulliver" separately.
Now I am going to say the extras and the quality of sound and video:
-Jason and the Argonauts: The quality of this DVD is , great Both in Sound And Video. The extras are the Theatrical Trailer and an Interview of Ray talking about this movie.
-The 7th Voyage: The quality of the video in this1its a little grainy however it still great. The sound it's not so great in this1and it's alalmost all impossible to hear it in Spanish however in English it still great. I really like that all the Sinbad trilogy has a lot of trailers of Ray's movies.
-The Golden Voyage: The quality is great Both in Sound And Video, and it has all the trailers I Said before (Something i like about this DVD it's that it has side A and B for Fullscreen and Widescreen).
-Sinbad and The Eye of the Tiger: its exactly like "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad", except for the widescreen and fullscreen option.
-The 3 Worlds of Gulliver: The quality is great Both in Sound And Video. The Extras are the Theatrical Trailer, "This Is Dynamation", "The Harryhausen Chronicles" and "The Making Of".
*And Now My Own Top:
5-Sinbad And The Eye of the Tiger (however It Still a wonderfull Movie)
4-The 3 Worlds of Gulliver
3-The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
2-The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad
1-Jason And The Argonauts (Just Amazing)

Summary: Fun Ray Harryhausen movies
Comments: This collection of Ray Harryhausen movies Comes with "Jason and the Argonauts", "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad", "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad", "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" and "The 3 Worlds of Gulliver."
The best of this collection is "Jason and the Argonauts". I 1st saw this movie in the early 90s and it got me interested in Greek mythology and I read2childrens books on Greek mythology. I then went on to read other books such as Edith Hamilton's "Mythology", "The Odyssey", "The Illiad", "Antigone", "Medea", "Oedipus Rex" and others. I also took2years of Latin for my language requirement in high school.
Jason and the Argonauts is an interesting movie to me. The fact that Jason worshipped and spoke to an idol of Hera boggled me when I 1st saw the film. I was raised a Christian and I was thinking, "Isn't it against the Christian faith to worship a pagan idol." The movie does have1scene though that fits in well with Christian morality in that it encourages belief in a higher form. When Jason 1st appears as an adult, he doesn't believe in the gods. He discovers that the man before him is Hermes and he is taken to Mount Olympus to meet Zeus and the others. Thus he gets to see for himself that the gods do indeed exist.
The movie is1grand adventure. He encounters a giant bronze man, a hydra, and walking skeletons and the stop motion animation effects are mainly what Ray Harryhausen's movies are famous for.
The second best movie in the collection is "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad". Like "Jason and the Argonauts" it also has a skeleton fight in it.
"Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" on the other hand was so bad that I couldn't make it through it. "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" and "The 3 Worlds of Gulliver" are okay however not great. |
