Critic Reviews:
- " But what puts it over the top is a strange sense of melancholy pervading the machismo heroics. " – Nathanael Hood
- " Jason and the Argonauts exists now mostly as a fine piece of nostalgia. Viewed clearly, it's a poorly-made collection of fantastical tropes. Through rose-colored glasses, though, it's a vibrant, colorful masterpiece of cheese. " – Christopher Lloyd
- " Great old-fashioned fun, spiced with imaginative Ray Harryhausen's special effects. " – Phil Hall
