3/10
It’s evident that the only point of originality is to merge Western tropes with dinosaurs – something that serves as a simple excuse to utilize Harryhausen’s appeal. Go to Full Review

The Valley of Gwangi takes an intriguing high-concept idea -- cowboys vs. dinosaurs! -- and only partially fulfills its promise. Go to Full Review

An implausible B film fantasy sci-fi venture. But it should delight the fans of special effects maven Ray Harryhausen more than others. Go to Full Review

Best thought of as one of the pictures to get out of the way later rather than sooner when you decide to see everything Ray Harryhausen did. Go to Full Review

Jaden B. @howdoibreath412 Nov 15 Mixing cowboys and dinosaurs is such an epic idea and ray harryhausens stop motion effects make it even better! See more Dallas H Nov 13 Utilizing brownface, ugh; incorporating Ray Harryhausen stop-motion animation, yay! See more Ted B. @Movieaddicted Nov 9 2.5 stars; Two words... Ray Harryhausen, the master of modern stop-motion action films. In the days before CGI, these special effects were outstanding for their time. However, if you've seen one Harryhausen film, you've seen them all. Like the stop-motion films before him, the plot is the same (King Kong). It consists of a giant creature that is captured for show, escapes and does a ton of damage, and is eventually killed by the good guys. The acting consisted of some retreads from the early 60s and some unknowns from south of the border.
