I'm skipping a couple because there's a looooooong drawn out answer ^_^ you should watch the movie.
1) This movie is based on the story of Perseus and the Gorgon. Do you think this story is a myth or a legend?
Myth--and they both mean the same thing.
3) What do the chess pieces that the Gods play with represent? What message does this convey?
Chess Pieces=human lives. That humans are toys of the gods
4) Who helps Perseus on his request? Why does he/she do this?
The Theater Keeper. I forgot his name. Three other gods are forced by Zeus to help.
6) Who tries to prevent Perseus from obtaining his goal? Why does he/she do that?
Hera. She's bitchy like that-and she believes her son was singled out unfairly by Zeus.
8) What was your favorite part of the film? Why?
The Mechanical Owl
9) How might this movie be different if it were made today?
CGI magic instead of Harryhausen magic

That's a rough one. There is a detailed charisma that includes the primary one. Even if the photos don't seem to be too well, it nonetheless has its legend film repute. From what I've heard, they are not sticking to the usual Greek tale an excessive amount of, so there possibly a few unhappiness there. For those who have not noticeable the usual, and have no idea the tale already, I'd say it is valued at looking, however for the die-hards in the market, I'd say stay up for the RedBox.

1) Myth, it is a completely fabricated Greek story. A legend has at least a tiny shred of historical fact and physical evidence that makes it partly true.
2) Basically yes, he demonstrates typical hero behavior: bravely overcoming enemies and dangers to do good (in this case rescue Cassiopeia and save her city).
3) They're not chess pieces they're clay figurines. These play on a few symbolic themes for the relation between man and God(s). Many creation myths from different religions say that the God(s) shaped man from Earth (i.e. clay) and breathed life into the form to create man's existence. The clay figurines are symbolic of this myth in that the gods creates a figurine for each human and gave it life. Destroying (or altering) the figurine, kills (or reshapes) the human and along with the small toy-like size of the figurine lends to the symbolic relationship that the Gods are capable of doing what every they wish with humans.
4) Several individuals provide aid to Perseus.
-- Zeus provides him a shield. At Zeus' request, Aphrodite provides a magical helm and Hephaestus provides him a sword. Athena is forced to give her owl, Bubo, to act as a guide, but not before Hephaestus fashions a mechanical clockwork body for the animal's spirit.
-- The old man in the theater is a religious man that attempted to honor the Gods with the performance of plays in the past, but it had been difficult to keep honoring them since people stopped coming to the theater. After witnessing the gifts bestowed on Perseus, the old man chooses to honor the Gods agian by helping the boy as much as he can.
-- The palace guards help Perseus on his quest out of loyalty to the royal family and to save their city.
-- The three blind witches help Perseus, but only because he didn't fall for their tricks and was able to blackmail them with their "eye" stolen by Bubo.
5) Both were set into situations created by the gods where they had to survive hazards, enemies, and monsters in order to reach safety and "Get the girl".
6) There are only a few that oppose Perseus and his quest.
-- Calibaos opposes Perseus because he wants Cassiopeia for himself. He is the typical villian, willing to do anything to get what he wants and does not care who dies in the process. He torments Cassiopeia "out of love" and would rather see her and her city die if he cannot have her.
-- Hera opposes Perseus out of spite to her husband & brother Zeus since he favors the Perseus (the son from one of his mistresses) over her own son Calibaos.
-- The three blind witches opposed Perseus mainly because they saw him as food, not becasue they wanted a city destroyed or revenge on Zeus.
7) The Odessy, The story of Hercules, Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: A New Hope, and the first Spider-Man movie. All are stories where the main hero is thrust into situations beyond their control, provided gifts beyond normal humans and face hazzards, enemies, and other dangers to "defeat evil and get the girl".
8) The bath scene where Cassiopeia is getting ready to be sacrificed to the Kraken. =P
9) Better film quality and CGI special effects, probably starring
-- Paul Walker (The Fast & The Furious) as Perseus
-- Sean Connery (Entrapment) as Zeus
-- Elisha Cuthbert (The Girl Nextdoor) as Cassiopeia
-- Vin Deisel (Cronicles of Riddick) as Calebaos
-- Monica Belluci (Matrix Reloaded) as Hera
-- Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Lindsay Lohan as the 3 blind witches. =P Only joking, I like Britney & Lindsay a lot.
-- Melissa Rivers as Medusa
-- Ian Holm (Bilbo Baggins from Lord of the Rings) as the old man in the theater.
10) There are already countless movies made based on myths and legends. There have been several versions of stories for Hercules, Perseus, Sinbad, Moses, Jesus, Dracula (based on the legend of Vlad the Impaler), Robin Hood (also based on a legend), and a multitude of other figures. A good myth/legend movie needs to have good acting, production, special effects, and a good story.
Okay, I did your homework for you, =P I would say pay me 10 bucks, but I'll settle for 10 points =P
