Sure the story was better (and thank God, Jason finally got revenge for his family's murder). But the effects wasn't Harryhausen and the music wasn't Herrmann (despite the fact that Boswell did do several homages in the score to Herrmann). I was really disappointed that the Hydra didn't return in this version as I am sure that a CGI version WOULD be an improvement (couldn't you Jason hacking off each head and two more growing back, as in the Greek myths). Otherwise, I still prefer the original, though it IS an improvement over Hercules.
