Critic Reviews:
- " Allows Ray Harryhausen to showcase some superb stop-motion animation effects and the great Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, Psycho, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) to add another smashing score to his resume. " – Matt Brunson
- " A peppy film, helped along considerably by the inherent eye candy that comes along with setting a film in the Pacific… Harryhausen at his best. " – Tim Brayton
- " Harryhausen's special effects plus a Hermmann score, unbeatable. " – Bob Bloom
