Clash of the Titans

The old-timey special effects, theatrical acting, and irony-free storytelling help this movie feel like a larger-than-life Greek myth, which is awesome. A fun, nostalgic tale of ancient gods, heroes, and monsters.

Pretty cheesy even by 80s fantasy standards. The special effects vary wildly (Best aged: Medusa. Worst aged: the Kraken) and the plot is simplistic to the extreme but sort of satisfying. I can see why they picked it to remake; I just hope they leave the little golden robot owl out.

A real classic film. Though the special effects don't hold up to our time, the film is still a hella lot of fun and great to watch, bringing back fond memories of my childhood. Also, way better than the recent remakes.

This movie is charming as H-E-Double Hockey Sticks.

A real charming sense of magic and adventure help to gloss over the weaker / cheesy parts. While the finale is rather lackluster, the stop-motion is decent and the designs are ok. More movies would benefit from the addition of giant freakin' scorpions. A sense of nostalgia helps boost the score a bit.
