The attention to detail put into many of the special effects is quite a spectacle to witness considering they were done 37 years ago. No, not from the scary presence of the ancient monster, but from seeing how each of her snakes are painstakingly animated individually. The animation on Medusa alone is enough to make me sick to my stomach. I must also compliment the practical special effects master, Ray Harryhausen, as he bows out in impressive style. If you take my advice above, then 'Clash of the Titans' is a very entertaining adventure that will appeal to the kid in all of us. Clash of the Titans starts with King Acrisius (Donald Houston) of Argos (no not the shop) sealing his daughter Danae (Vida Taylor) & her young baby son Perseus in a coffin & throwing it into the sea in an act of defiance against the father of the gods Zeus (Laurence Oliver) who happens to be father of Perseus. All you need to know is that it is loosely based on famous myths and legends that continue to be passed down and told through popular media time and time again. It is purely a Fantasy flick through and through where you do not question what it does and why it does it.
