The Legend of Hercules

Alone one night, I decided to watch a movie. I liked the other Hercules film released in '14, so I thought I'd give this one a shot. About 1/3 in, iI realized I kept glancing at my all glass front door Why? BECAUSE I WOULD'VE BEEN EMBARRASSED TO BE CAUGHT WATCHING THIS RIDICULOUS WASTE OF TIME!!! Seriously, don't bother. The best thing about it is that it was consistent. All of it, acting, cinematography, costumes, CG, music, sucked.

I saw this movie with my girlfriend who was reluctant to watch because she thought it was gonna be another slash'em up gladiator movie. After talking about the movie afterward I think she liked it more than I did! The movie caught my attention from the first scene, one of the best scenes of the movie. While it didn't have hydras and creatures, I was really impressed with the different variety in the fight scenes, I never got bored of watching them. Each one had a unique feel to it. This is a good movie with a lot of great action scenes, It's a great date movie, I would definitely recommended it, as it has amazing fight scenes for guys and a love story for the gals.

I didn't see the movie, but after reading the reviews, I won't see it. I teach Greek mythology and was looking forward to this film as the students are really interested in the true myth of Hercules. I planned on seeing it, but then suddenly, it wasn't shown anymore. So I asked some of my students if they had seen it, and the few who did told me I'm better off missing it, since the Disney film is probably more accurate that this dud. Thanks for the reviews and I will definitely save my money and this film will never be shown in my class. In fact, there hasn't been a decent film about Hercules ever. He is shown in Jason and the Argonauts, the most recent version, but even that film is Hollywood's take as Hercules never even got on the Argo in the real myth. Do you think Rock's version this summer will do Herc justice?
