Jason and the Argonauts

One might have thought that a remake of Jason and the Argonauts with the advantage of modern special effects would be at least as good as the original. Wrong! It's not the quality of the effects but the way they're used. The fight with the skeletons in particular was disappointing. Anyone who had seen the original must have been saying "Was that it?" when it finished. Of course, if the original had never been made, I would have to say that this is an enjoyable film, quite faithful to the original story and worth the watching. But it was made! Skip this and watch the original.
