SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
MiketheWhistle The review that this is a sword and sandal movie nailed it. Beyond that what stuck out to me is how good everyone's teeth looked. Looked like a wall at an orthodontist.
The Duke of Movietown I saw HERCULES! Now, this new sword and sandal film might as well be a sequel to Scorpion King because it's pretty much the exact same movie. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays Hercules in this movie and unlike a lot of other films, this version is more of a man than demi-god with the legend of his exploits far exceeding his reality. With his team of mercenaries, which includes Ian McShane, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, and Rufus Sewell, he travels the world in search of gold and glory. However, Hercules' true metal has yet to be tested as he fights against a new enemy which holds mysteries of his past. Now that's all I can tell you without giving anything away. This movie is trying really hard to recapture the magic of Gladiator and mix in a little bit of that mystic Troy flavor and it might have done that if it were handled better. First off, The Rock is not a very good actor...like at all. He's like Stallone, as long as he doesn't talk, a la Rocky & First Blood, he's great. This movie doesn't get it, and it ends up giving Johnson too many opportunities to put his foot in his mouth (shined up and turned sideways of course). The second thing is that the movie is rated PG-13 and I'm sorry but if you're going to try do this right, it's simply got to be an R-rated film. Without the brutality it comes off as like a tiny bit better version of Hercules the 1990s TV show which MAYBE they were going for but ehh... I highly doubt it. Overall I'd say this is a good Redbox movie but with so many other choices this summer, save your money. It's not bad, it's just passable. Put it on the shelf as better than Alexander but not quite as good as Troy and just BARELY under Scorpion King. Hercules gets a 2.5...out of 5.
Chappy Watched In the first ten minutes, this movie was a lot better than The Legend of Hercules.The mythology side of Hercules is pretty much all seen and explained within the first 5 or so minutes and for the rest of the film, Hercules is pretty much just a strong dude fighting along with his friends for money.There's nothing new in terms of story but it is action packed, pretty much from the get go, and unlike Legend of Hercules, doesn't focus on the drama side of things or revolves around a crappy romance.It has a pretty good cast including of course Dwayne Johnson, Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell and John Hurt and some awesome fight scenes.It was entertaining, just an awesome, mindless action film and would be something I would watch again.
