Film 65: "Jason and the Argonauts"

I finally got a film in! I'm SO busy these days. I finally have had a chance to watch a film as an engaged man... someone who's set to marry the most beautiful, loving and charming woman on this earth. What am I doing watching films??

Synoahpsis:

A romping good grecian adventure... this really old movie follows the story of Jason as he receives an command from the gods to quest for the fabled golden fleece- an item of great healing and defensive power rumored to be hanging from a tree on the other side of the world. Follow Jason as he talks his way into acquiring the finest ship in all Greece, the Argon, and assembling his crew from the strongest and most fearless greeks in all the land. With then without the help of the queen of the gods, Jason conquers bronze giants, captures tormenting harpies, sails under the armpit of Poseidon and much, much more.

I think Madea even comes up toward the end.

The best bit:

The bronze statue of Telos gets a little upset with Hercules and goes on a bit of a rampage. Even in this day and age, I still can't figure out how they made him look to convincing.

Marks out of ten:

I loved it at first, but the plot went to broad too quickly, and the film makers ruined their great progress in telling the story of Jason. Because they did so well with the effects... particularly for the time, I think they can be forgiven in part with a 6.9
