Review of The Valley of Gwangi (1969) by Wayne F — 23 Nov 2007
Take a classic western movie combine with One Million Years B.C, add the stories of the lost world and King Kong and top it all off with Ray Harryhausen's special effects and you have a classic! I'd been curious about this movie ever since spotting its entry in my Halliwell's Movie Guide years ago - I mean cowboys and dinoaurs together has to be cool right? - and I was not disappointed.
And can I state right now that I much prefer stop-motion to CGI anyday. The only downside was that all the dinosaurs seemed to be the same purple colour - was this something to do with the process or just a lack of imagination colourwise? The elephant didnt't have it though.
All round a fun movie!
