Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
You come away feeling Harryhausen perhaps deserves a more dynamic tribute, but it's a solid round-up of an extraordinary career.

A shallow, fannish tribute to the stop-motion master who made The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.

Rating: 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.

While a little light and fluffy - and not offering much insight or info that hasn't been covered in the numerous books on Harryhausen - it's a wonderful celebration of his work.
