Remembering the Titans Clash

This film is a real joy to watch; pure imaginative escapicism in the styles of the old Sinbad and Hercules movies from the past. The story centers around Persus, son of Zeus and his many challenges rising from jealous Hera and numerous monsters along the way.
Harry Hamlin keeps it grounded as a young niave hero, Burguess Meredith plays the mentor role and we are treated to a calidescope of mythical creatures along the way. We meet the Kraken, Pegasus, oracles, giant scorpions, Medusa and witness Persus rise to one challenge after another thrown at him. It has a love story of sorts for the girls and some duels for the fellas all thrown in for a brisk paced movie.
***Warning to kids the Medusa scene could freak them out a bit, but shouldn't be too bad; Parents should watch for mild nudity near the beginning of a nursing mother and towards the end as the princess baths before her trip to see the Kraken, but otherwise this film should entertain safely.
The script runs along not taking itself to seriously or to lightly; striking a nice balance similiar to the Hercules/Xena tv shows of the 90s for comparison.
The action scenes seem dated now, but with some imagination and a forgiving eye towards the stop motion techniques used it delievers a fun mindless romp with Greek mythology. It is an underated gem that should be checked out before dismissing as it offers a lot more than one would give it credit for.
