3/5
Harryhausen emerges as a charming, likable pioneer, a mood helped along by the adoring nature of this profile. Go to Full Review
Antonia Quirke Financial Times Nov 8, 2012
3/5
The most fascinating point made in the film is that it was Harryhausen who invented the way we all think dinosaurs moved. Those gestures - adopted as truth even by palaeontologists - first came from him. Go to Full Review
Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 8, 2012
2/5
A shallow, fannish tribute to the stop-motion master who made The 7th Voyage of Sinbad. Go to Full Review
Joseph Walsh CineVue Aug 23, 2018
4/5

3/5

3/5
A little too exhaustive in its detail, but if you loved his febrile creations in Jason And The Argonauts or the Sinbad movies, it's worth catching. Go to Full Review
