Review
This film is...actually a classic in its own mind. I think the film is good, for the most part. The special effects are still good for their time, actually this is the first time I've seen Harryhausen's special effects (Ironically this would be the last film he'd do in producing or animating) The story is balenced for the most part, having a three act feature, the rise of Perseus, the journey to the Kraken, and the completion of Perseus arc and the end. The acting is great from all, especially Lawrence Oliver. I actually kinda like Bubo, that little Owl that reminds me of R2-D2. Nevertheless, it's an adventure that still is a classic that doesn't age much. No matter how Hollywood tries.......
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
