I highly recommend this movie for those who are fans of Greek mythology. If you are a fan and you find an interest in Greek mythology I assure to you that you will love and find this movie very interesting. This movie is based from the famous story of the quest of the golden fleece. It composes of war, love and determination. You will never get bored when watching this movie because every scene is a much watch. When you watch this movie your imagination will be widen as well as your knowledge in Greek mythology.
The quest golden fleece revolves about the journey of Jason and the Argonauts in finding the golden fleece. In this movie it will show you how the golden fleece past through different persons before it goes to the hands of Jason and the Argonauts. But there is one problem in finding the golden fleece. The quest is not easy and impossible without the help from gods. So Hera who's in favor of Jason help them in their journey. As predicted Jason and the Argonauts succeeded in finding the golden fleece. The movie clearly catch the movie's theme which is mythology. From observing you can point out who's the gods and the characters.
The characters who portrays their designated roles are outstanding. They've shown how they must act their roles and they perfectly fits the roles. Like Jason London who portrays the role of Jason. He really show how a prince should act, speak, and gesture. He show how a noble should act and his looks is very charming, handsome and very classic which adds to fit his role. Brian Thompson who portray the role of Hercules did a great job. He shows how tough Hercules is and shows how Hercules should talk,walk and gesture. With his manly and toned body it helps him to portray his role perfectly.
The editing of the story is good. The cutting and splicing of the scenes are well organized. Like when the scene where Jason fights with an iron bull every angle of the bulls charging him was taken. And his reactions in charming the bull was all taken. Also I would like to praise the editing of the opening and closing of the rocks.Wherein Jason and his company goes between the crashing rocks. The scene looks like real and doesn't look edited.The sound effects been used in the movie are all suited to the concept of the scenes. This sound effects will help in enlightening the mood. Like when the mood is exciting, suspense and exciting suspenseful music is played in the background. And when the crowd is cheering they've used crowd cheering on the background to adds in making the scene more realistic. And lastly they played sad music in the background when one of the main characters died.
Making the scene more realistic and true the scene helps to captivate the attention of the viewers, but doing this is hard in the observant eyes of the viewers. The cinematography in this movie was amazing. Like when their is a fighting scene wherein the actors will stab each other for example. This scene isn't easy to do because in real life they cannot really do stabbing each other. So, with the help of the camera angles it will help to make the scene more realistic. By taking a good camera angle it will help to deceive the eyes of the viewers and to make it more realistic they add up artificial blood.
Above all, in watching this movie you will learn so much in Greek mythology. So, for those who finds an interest and are fan of Greek mythology must watch this movie because I can assure you that watching this film is worth watching for. Such as well for those who don't find an interest must watch because who might know by watching this movie will help you in gaining an interest in Mythology.
