 DVD Savant Review: Clash of the Titans
Frankly, Savant didn't even go see Clash of the Titans when it came out, having been disappointed by the lack of entertainment value in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad seven years before.
Clash of the Titans has Ray's last great setpiece, and one of his greatest: Perseus' encounter with the serpent-like Medusa in a firelit cave.
Critics often prodded the Harryhausen films for being too old-fashioned; Clash of the Titans doesn't have the classic visual sense of Ray's old shows (or the models he based them on) and doesn't compensate with a new or interesting approach.

I remember going to see “Clash Of The Titans” in theaters when I was a boy and just watching it over and over in theaters and then watching it over some more when it premiered on HBO.
Even though we have CGI effects today that are far more realistic and refined than what Harryhausen was able to accomplish in “Clash Of The Titans,” I still think that the human touch Harryhausen brought to his creations is lost in most computer generated effects save for a few.
