What critics compared Mysterious Island to
The bees won't give stop-motion effects master Ray Harryhausen, who created the giant crab and other beasties for the 1961 "Mysterious Island," anything to worry about.
“Aquaman” is a derivative heap; an observant movie buff will catch pieces from “Excalibur” and “Mysterious Island,” while a sequence of waves crashing and rocking a boat looks like scenes cribbed from “The Perfect Storm.”
