This is a sad rendition of a classic tale baring no resemblance to the mythical person. The film reads CGI in bold letters on every action scene. No mirth in any character (so atypical of this sort of movie) and little or no depth in the characters either. Set in 1200BC yet the women all have lipstick on and manicured nails and clear complexions and the men so neatly bearded with good skin with a few tell tale scars inc. a square G shape on Hercules and his brother's back but where the movie fall down is the storyline leaps leading to a confusing mishmash of set pieces that resembles a badly put together jigsaw. With a decent director (sorry Mr Harlin) this could've actually worked had it not been called Hercules.
